Condition and edition

Vintage condition, rated 5/10. The photographs show a vertical crease in the upper blue field beneath the event text, waviness in the paper and small creases and edge wear along the right margin, including the lower-right area. Please examine all four photographs for this particular copy’s surface, margins and corners.

The fine black lines on the yellow figure and the irregular edges of the graphic shapes belong to the printed design. No handwritten signature, numbered edition or specific printing technique is documented for this copy. This listing is separate from other copies of the same Ricard Badia poster in the store.

Colour and display

A warm golden-yellow figure contrasts strongly with the expansive blue ground. Black outlines and pale grey shapes sharpen the composition, while the smaller red, green and yellow track bands add lively accents. This poster would suit a contemporary study, a bright creative workspace or a sports-design wall. Pale oak and white walls would balance the saturated colours; a mustard cushion or blue chair could echo the main palette without competing with the image.
