Barcelona 1992 Olympic Poster by Antoni Tàpies · Abstract Design · 70 × 50 cm

Barcelona 1992 Olympic Games poster by Antoni Tàpies, featuring bold black gestures and white marks against a warm beige ground, crossed by a diagonal red band. This vertical paper poster measures 70 × 50 cm and is offered without a frame.

Broad, softly edged black curves sweep across the composition above denser black strokes and irregular white passages in the lower half. Fine dark lines and scattered marks contrast with the heavier gestures. The red band carries expressive “BARCELONA” lettering across the upper-right area. The Games emblem, “Barcelona ’92” and multilingual event text run along the bottom, with a Telefónica sponsorship credit at the lower right.

This listing is for a paper poster reproducing Tàpies’s imagery, not an original painting or mixed-media work.

Condition and edition

Vintage condition, rated 7/10. The photographs show waviness and curling along the paper edges, together with small irregularities along the left margin. The image includes a mottled, scratched-looking ground and irregular pale marks; photographs alone do not establish which individual surface details belong to the reproduced artwork and which may reflect wear. Please examine the full and detail photographs for this particular copy.

A printed © 1990 COOB’92 S.A. notice and “Original d’Antoni Tàpies” credit are visible on the left. The copyright date does not confirm this copy’s printing year, and the artwork credit does not make the poster an original painting. Signature-like lettering within the design does not establish a handwritten signature on this copy. No numbered edition or specific printing technique is documented here.

Colour and display

Warm beige and sand tones form an earthy background for deep black curves and irregular white passages. The vivid red diagonal provides a concentrated accent rather than an all-over bright palette. The poster would suit an understated contemporary living room, an art-focused study or an interior with raw wood, linen and stone textures. Cream walls and natural timber would echo the ground, while black furniture or a slim black frame would connect with the gestures. A single red accessory could pick up the diagonal band without distracting from the image.
