About the Item

Garry Winogrand Portrait of Bob Pettis with official COA, 1982 Offset Lithograph Signed in graphite pencil by the artist on the front. Unnumbered. 24 inches (Vertical × 36 inches (horizontal) (Ships rolled in a tube measuring: 36" x 5" ) Unframed Hand signed from the limited edition of 750, featuring bodybuilder Bill Pettis (the man with the largest arms in the world) taken at Venice Beach. Unnumbered. This is one of 750 hand signed prints, published in 1982 to celebrate the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics ; however, according to the publisher, after the first 200 were sold, the remaining editions were destroyed - so the edition is actually more scarce than it appears. The Olympic Committee commissioned 15 nationally known artists, including Garry Winogrand to create unique designs to promote the event. This was Winogrand'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. Copyright 1982 Los Angeles Olympics Organizing Committee, Published by Knapp Communications Corporation. Garry Winogrand Biography Garry Winogrand was born in New York City and became interested in photography while serving in the military as a weather forecaster. He studied painting at City College (1947-48) and at Columbia University (1948-51), where he learned how to develop and print. In 1951 he studied photography with Alexey Brodovitch at the New School for Social Research. Afterward he worked commercially for photography agencies, freelanced for magazines, and also did personal work. Winogrand's photographs were exhibited widely during his lifetime, in Edward Steichen's The Family of Man at the Museum of Modern Art, Towards a Social Landscape at the George Eastman House, and New Documents at the Museum of Modern Art. He was often grouped with photographers such as Danny Lyon or Lee Friedlander as a documentarian of the "social landscape." Winogrand received three Guggenheim Fellowships, to produce "photographic studies of American life," to study "the effect of the media on events," and to photograph California. He taught photography at the School of Visual Arts and Cooper Union in New York, and the Art Institute of Chicago, among other institutions; and published seven books of photographs, including The Animals (1969), Women Are Beautiful (1975), and Public Relations (1977). Garry Winogrand's photographs are sophisticated, chance observations of daily life that demonstrate his mastery of the 35-millimeter camera. He was fond of visual puns and tilted exposures; he photographed, he said, "to see what the world looks like in photographs." Although his approach was lighthearted, his formal acuity and absurdist appreciation for the visual world were serious innovations that reverberate in the work of many contemporary photographers. -Courtesy ICP
