Size: 90 x 63 cm. The Olympic Suite is composed of 50 lithographs and serigraphs chosen to represent various contemporary artistic trends. It was published to commemorate the first centenary of modern Olympism. The artists chosen work in very diverse movements and styles, from the hyperrealism of Antonio López to the abstraction of Sol Lewitt, including abstract expressionism, the geometrism of Arden Quin, conceptual art, pop art, the new realism of Baldaccini and Rotella, and the new fauvism of Dokoupil, among others. Among the artists represented there are creators of great international renown, widely recognised by the critics. John Christoforou spent his childhood in Greece, but returned to London in 1938, and after fighting in the Second World War held his first exhibition in 1949. In 1957 he moved to Paris, where he took part in an exhibition at the Rive Gauche gallery alongside Enrico Baj, Jorn and Mihailovitch. Throughout his career he held important exhibitions in various countries, and worked closely with the Birch gallery in Copenhagen, where a tribute exhibition was dedicated to him after his death in 2014. He is currently represented in major collections such as the Tate Gallery in London, the Frissiras Museum in Greece, the Fonds National d'Art Contemporain in Paris and the Fine Arts Museums of Randers and Silkeborg in Denmark.
