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 chosen artists work in very diverse movements and styles, from the hyperrealism of Antonio López to the abstraction of Sol Lewitt, passing through abstract expressionism, the geometrism of Arden Quin, conceptual art, pop art, the new realism of Baldaccini and Rotella, or the new fauvism of Dokoupil, among others. Among the artists represented there are creators of great international renown, widely recognized by critics.
Denis Oppenheim was trained at the School of Arts and Crafts in California, although in 1966 he moved to New York, where he would spend the rest of his life. In this city he came into contact with the main representatives of the artistic avant-garde. He himself was also a pioneer, both in conceptual art and in performance and land art. Oppenheim's work is present in major museums, collections and public spaces around the world.
