Barcelona 1992 Olympic Poster by Robert Llimós · Hands and Rings · 70 × 50 cm

Barcelona 1992 Olympic Games poster by Robert Llimós, featuring two raised hands beneath interwoven Olympic-coloured rings. This vertical paper poster measures 70 × 50 cm and is supplied unframed.

One hand is drawn with a light interior and fine dark outlines, while the other is filled with bold black and pale marks. Above them, freely drawn blue, yellow, black, green and red loops overlap against a taupe-grey patterned background. An irregular pale printed surround separates the image from a broad dark-green border. The Games emblem and multilingual event text appear along the bottom, with a Telefónica sponsorship credit on the left.

The previous listing describes the rings as a symbol of understanding and harmony between peoples and cultures through sport. This listing is for a paper poster reproducing the artist’s imagery, not an original painting.

Condition and edition

Vintage condition, rated 7/10. The photographs show edge waviness and curling, particularly along the left margin, with light surface marks near the upper-left edge. Please examine the photographs for this copy’s corners, surface and signs of handling. The uneven pale surround and textured marks within the image belong to the printed design.

A printed © 1990 COOB’92 S.A. notice is visible on the left. This is a copyright notice, not confirmation of this copy’s printing year; 1992 identifies the Olympic event. An artist’s name and date-like inscription appear within the image, but do not establish a handwritten signature on this copy. No numbered edition or specific printing technique is documented for this poster.

Colour and display

A deep forest-green border surrounds a quieter field of taupe-grey and pale cream. Bright blue, yellow, red and green loops bring colour above the contrasting light and black-marked hands. The earthy background and green surround would work well in a relaxed living room, a book-lined study or an eclectic gallery wall. Natural oak, cream textiles and leafy plants would echo the softer tones, while a small red or blue accent could connect with the rings without competing with them.
