About the Item

Renowned artists and designers April Greiman and Jayme Odgers 1984 Olympic Games Print (Hand Signed by both April Greiman and Jayme Odgers), 1982 Offset Lithograph Poster - art in sports - Signed in graphite pencil on the front. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from the publisher Also accompanied by Certificate of Guarantee issued by Alpha 137 Gallery 36 x 24 inches Unframed Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from the publisher on Olympic letterhead. This is one of 750 hand signed lithographic posters (though fewer than 200 said to be extant), published in 1982 to celebrate the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics . April Greiman is an American designer widely recognized as one of the first designers to embrace computer technology as a design tool. Greiman is also credited, along with early collaborator, the late artist Jayme Odgers, with helping to import the European New Wave design style to the US during the late 70s and early 80s." The Olympic Committee commissioned 15 nationally known artists, including April Greiman and Jayme Odgers to create unique designs to promote the event. The complete list of artists is: Sam Francis, David Hockney, Richard Diebenkorn, Carlos Almaraz, Robert Rauschenberg, Jennifer Bartlett, Jonathon Borofsky, Roy LIchtenstein, April Gornik, Raymond Saunders, Martin Puryear, John Baldessari, Lynda Benglis, Billy Al Bengston and Garry Winogrand. This was Greiman and Odger's contribution to the portfolio. In 2017, the Olympic Museum in Lausanne Switzerland featured all 15 lithographs from this portfolio: “The 1980s were marked by non-conformism, eccentricity, audacity and joie de vivre,” say the exhibition organizers, “All these elements are clearly expressed in the stylistic vocabulary chosen by the organizers of the 1984 Games in Los Angeles, with its fun approach and acid colors.” This work is unframed and in fine condition; excellent provenance as it was acquired as part of the complete portfolio of limited edition hand signed Olympic prints, all held in the original box with colophon and authenticity documentation. Unnumbered. Provenance: Acquired as part of the complete 1984 Olympic Lithographic Poster Portfolio of 15 hand signed prints, in the original box with colophon and Certificate of Authenticity.
