Notes

Munich 1972, poster for the “Olympia Ausstellung. Mensch und Meer” exhibition in Kiel. This poster was designed by Salvador Dali to coincide with the sailing events that were being held in Kiel, just as they were in 1936. The exhibition, which was open from 10 May to 24 September 1972, set out to show the importance of the sea throughout human history and in the future, through artwork and models. Purchase
