The Posterization series was created by various photographers and artist Otl Aicher, who used a technique called "posterization". Aicher created 21 posters using the official design colors and logo (one of the posters became the official poster of the games). The Art Series was an attempt by the Organizing Committee to invite famous artists to express their ideas on the Olympic Games and human movement. These posters were printed in a hand-signed/numbered very limited edition of 200, a limited edition printing of 2,000 and a general printing. The Posterization and Art series posters were often displayed side-by-side around Munich. Artist: Fritz Winter Important Added Info: The artist of this poster, Fritz Winter, was born in Germany in 1905 and is considered one of the most famous German post-war artists.
