About the Item

Horst Antes made this “Kopffüßler” poster for the legendary Münich Olympic Games in 1972. It’s a chrome lithograph signed and numbered 18/200, meaning this is print nr 18 of a limited series of 200. Thousands of posters of this work were printed for the Olympic Games and already fetch about 300€ on E-bay. Horst Antes is a well known artist recognized across the world. He was a German painter, graphic artist and sculptor. He studied from 1957 till 1959 at the Staatliche Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Karlsruhe. In 1960, he painted his first of many “Kopffüßler” (Head-Footer), a picture of a human being where not all body parts are present or in the right place. A good example is a drawing of a man made by a child under seven years old. Those drawings are often the most beautiful, sincere and funny. Horst created his own “Kopffüßler” a recurring image in his work. In 1967 he became Professor of Painting at the Academy of Art in Karlsruhe. In 1968 he was guest Professor at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste in Berlin. Antes has been a member of the Freie Akademie der Künste in Hamburg since 1983. The work is in excellent condition and has been professionally framed (included in the price).
