Pop Art – Eines von 200 Exemplaren. - Hrsg. von der Edition Olympia 1972 GmbH. - Druck bei Kroll-Siebdruck. - Im Vorfeld der Olympischen Spiele 1972 beauftragte das Organisationskomitee der XX. Olympiade international renommierte Künstler, darunter David Hockney, Peter Phillips und Horst Antes, mit der Gestaltung einer Plakatserie, die Sport und Kunst miteinander verbinden sollte. Wesselmann wählte ein für sein Schaffen der frühen 1970er Jahre typisches Motiv: einen einzelnen, überlebensgroß ins Bild gesetzten nackten Fuß vor sattem Grün, in flächigen Farbfeldern gedruckt. Das Blatt verweist unmittelbar auf seine Great American Nude-Serie und die zunehmende Konzentration auf isolierte Körperdetails in monumentalem Maßstab.

Pop Art – Colour screen print on Velin paper. Signed, dated and numbered. With the typographic lettering. - Edges with very few small, barely noticeable scuffs. Overall in very good condition. A magnificent, richly coloured print. - One of 200 numbered copies. Published by Edition Olympia 1972 GmbH. Printed by Kroll-Siebdruck. - In the run-up to the 1972 Olympic Games, the Organising Committee of the XX Olympiad commissioned internationally renowned artists, including David Hockney, Peter Phillips and Horst Antes, to design a series of posters intended to bring sport and art together. Wesselmann chose a motif typical of his work from the early 1970s: a single, larger-than-life naked foot set against a rich green background, printed in flat fields of colour. The print makes a direct reference to his Great American Nude series and his increasing focus on isolated bodily details on a monumental scale.
