Los Angeles 1984, set of Opening
and Closing Ceremony drawings.
René Lagler was born in Zurich and
studied at the Art Center College
of Design in Los Angeles. He has
designed numerous televised
ceremonies, including the Oscars,
Grammy Awards, Emmy Awards
and Country Music Awards. He
was also the Production Designer
for the Opening and Closing
Ceremonies of the 1984 Games in
Los Angeles.
The donation of these preparatory
drawings represents an important
addition to our collections.
The drawings give an insight into
the ceremony creation process,
technical and architectural aspects,
the ideas chosen or rejected, and
how scenes are built up.
