Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from the publisher on Olympic Committee letterhead. Unnumbered. This is one of 750 hand signed lithographic posters (through only approx. 200 are said to remain), published in 1982 to celebrate the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics . The Olympic Committee commissioned 15 nationally known artists, including Jennifer Bartlett to create unique designs to promote the event. This was Bartlett'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.”
