About the Item
This striking 1979 original poster was created in anticipation of the XXII Olympic Games, held in Moscow in 1980. With bold Soviet-era graphic design, the image captures the triumphant energy of the Olympic spirit, featuring a determined torchbearer running through a stylized track.
The composition reflects the USSR’s emphasis on athleticism and national pride, with strong, simplified forms and a limited but powerful color palette. The red uniform, adorned with the official Moscow 1980 Olympic emblem, contrasts sharply against the grey and white tones, while the Olympic torch blazes in vivid hues, symbolizing the unity and competitive spirit of the Games.
This vintage piece serves as a lasting tribute to the historic event, remembered both for its athletic achievements and the geopolitical context of the Cold War era, including the U.S.-led boycott. Today, it remains a sought-after collectible for sports history enthusiasts and vintage poster collectors alike.

1984 original poster by Warhol for the Winter Olympics in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia
By Andy Warhol
Located in PARIS, FR
The 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia, marked a momentous occasion in Olympic history, and one of the most iconic pieces of memorabilia from this event is Andy Warhol’s striking official poster. Known for his revolutionary pop art style, Warhol was among several renowned artists commissioned to create promotional artwork for the XIV Olympic Winter Games.
Warhol’s silkscreen-inspired poster captures the intensity and movement of a speed skater in full stride. Using bold neon outlines, a vibrant red body suit, and dynamic geometric background elements, the composition conveys a sense of urgency and athleticism. The contrasting colors—deep black, electric green, yellow, and blue—amplify the subject’s momentum, making the skater appear almost weightless against the abstract backdrop.
While Warhol is best known for his depictions of celebrities and consumer goods, this Olympic commission demonstrated his versatility as an artist. His ability to distill movement and expression into a minimalist yet powerful composition makes this piece stand out among other Olympic posters.
This official 1984 Sarajevo Winter Olympics poster is highly sought after by collectors and Olympic memorabilia enthusiasts alike. As one of Warhol’s few sports-related works, it embodies both his unmistakable artistic style and the spirit of global athletic competition.
