| Additional Information: | Original vintage Olympic poster for the Munich 1972 Olympic Games featuring Kanu Slalom (whitewater canoeing). The Kanu Slalom competition was held in Augsburg for the 1972 Olympics at a specially constructed whitewater facility. The poster design incorporates a solarized photographic approach, with a vivid palette and silver ink visible within the background elements. This is an Original Lithograph Vintage Poster and is not a reproduction. It reflects the Munich 1972 event program direction, where sports posters began with a photograph and were solarized to achieve distinctive visual effects, then printed in bright color combinations. Condition The poster is in very fine collector condition, presented with archival linen backing and ready to frame, showing minor, age-appropriate surface wear. Please note the specific condition points provided: there is a nick near the bottom left and a corner crease in the right corner. Aside from these noted areas, the presentation remains collector-friendly. Authentication “Includes a Free with the artwork.” The Kanu Slalom addition represents a significant historical change within the Olympic canoeing program, aligning with the Munich 1972 emphasis on new competitive formats. Photographer Erich Baumann is credited for the imagery used within this design, and the overall look “looks different” due to the solarized, high-contrast photographic effect and the visible silver-ink background detailing. |
