About the Artist / Series:
Peter Phillips is a pioneering English Pop artist renowned for his bold multi-media collages and dynamic graphic works. For the 1972 Munich Games, the organizing committee selected 29 prominent international artists to design posters that intertwine sports and fine art globally. To visually distance the event from the 1936 Berlin Games, artists were restricted from using heavy blacks and reds. Phillips’ contribution remains an iconic representation of avant-garde 1970s graphic design.
