Tokyo 2020 has unveiled 20 official art posters which have been created by 19 artists. Twelve are based on the theme of the Olympic Games and eight on the Paralympic Games, ranging completely in style and exploring mediums from graphic design to photography to painting.
The Olympic posters have the aim of visually tracing the history and identity of each edition of the Olympic Games by conveying the artistic, social and political context of their age. Today, they further communicate the Olympic values and ideals, and help to connect with the international artistic community and creative talents of the host country.
The 20 creative posters selected by the Organising Committee in liaison with the Olympic Foundation for Culture and Heritage are being presented from 7 January to 16 February at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo.
