Superb color offset lithographic poster based on David Hockney's iconic work (1937-2026) “Polaroids of Swimmer” (1982). This poster is part of the prestigious series of 15 artist posters commissioned by the Los Angeles Olympic Games organizing committee, bringing together several major names of the international contemporary art scene. One of the most coveted, historically important, and popular editions by David Hockney, loved by American and international collectors. This composition depicts a swimmer viewed in dive (or aerial) perspective, beneath wavy water, divided into 12 squares, reconstituted from a collage of Polaroid-type photographs, a technique Hockney experimented with in the early 1980s called "Joiner." The reflections on the water and the fragmentation of the image perfectly illustrate his research into perception, movement, and space. This poster is today one of the most sought-after pieces from the 1984 Olympic series. It is especially appreciated by David Hockney collectors, contemporary art enthusiasts, and Olympic posters. Description: - Artist: David Hockney (1937 - 2026) - Title: "Los Angeles 1984 Olympic Games" after the original Hockney work “Polaroids of Swimmer” (1982), sometimes also called "Diver in Swimming Pool" - Signature: In the lower left white margin is the official imprint of the Olympic edition, composed of the emblematic star of the Los Angeles 1984 Olympic Games. - Edition: Copyright 1982 Los Angeles Olympic Committee - Knapp Communications Corporation - Technique: Museum-quality color lithography. The original work “Polaroids of Swimmer” (1982) is a photographic composition created by David Hockney from a collage of numerous Polaroid photographs. This technique, called "Joiner," involves reconstructing a scene using multiple photographs taken from different angles and at different moments, creating a dynamic image that explores the perception of time and space. The Los Angeles 1984 Olympic Games poster is a color offset lithograph reproduction of this iconic work. - Dimensions: 74.5 cm x 50 cm with white margins. - Origin: Art gallery - Condition: Excellent (See the numerous photos) - Shipping: Fast and careful shipping with tracking and insured (Colissimo/La Poste - Chronopost or UPS depending on destinations within the EU).

About the artist: David Hockney's art is always fascinating with its pleasant ambiguities: his prints, drawings, and paintings are warm yet, in a way, distant; filled with light but often dark and unsettling; simple, direct, and ordinary, yet ethereal and complex. The artist’s stature in the contemporary art world is such that, in a 2011 survey of a thousand British painters and sculptors, he was named the most influential British artist of all time. Hockney grew up in Bradford, Yorkshire, in northern England. He studied at the Bradford School of Art from 1953 to 1957, then at the Royal College of Art in London from 1959 to 1962. Although trained in art at a time when abstraction dominated the field, Hockney remained resolutely devoted to figurative painting and drawing. Hockney’s early paintings suggest a search for a style, moving from expressionism to a grotesque evoking James Ensor. But Hockney found himself almost immediately upon arriving in Los Angeles in 1963. The move from gray, rainy Britain to a world of bright sun and sparkling water gave Hockney a sense of freedom and an artistic epiphany. He would spend most of the next five years in L.A., painting luminous works such as A Bigger Splash (1967)—things that made him happy: pools, manicured lawns, palm trees, stucco buildings, and luxurious objects like shower cabins. Hockney also painted people, almost always his friends. His Californian portraits such as Beverly Hills Housewife (1966) are regarded as his best works. They are grandiose, intimate and poetic. In the 1970s, Hockney returned to Britain and devoted much of his time to photography and printmaking. He returned to painting in the 1980s, tackling subjects such as still lifes, marine landscapes, and portraits. Hockney has always been fascinated by the use of technology in art—he is credited with inventing the technique of assembling Polaroid photos into a collage to form a panoramic image—and he has used the Brush app to paint on an iPad. Because he is prolific and works across a wide range of media, Hockney’s art is available at many price points. His work, always striking and provocative, should find a place in any complete collection of contemporary art. #David Hockney #Los Angeles 1984 #Olympic Games #Official Poster #Pop Art #contemporary Art Lithograph #Olympic Memorabilia #hockney #"Diver in Swimming Pool #Polaroids of Swimmer
