The Olympic Suite is made up 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 recognized by the critics.
A painter of precocious talent, Peter Klasen trained at the Berlin School of Fine Arts between 1956 and 1959, and in the early 1960s he settled in Paris, where he soon became one of the most renowned members of the New Figuration movement. He developed a personal plastic language, exploring and reinterpreting the signs of our urban environment and popular culture. He is currently represented in important international museums, as well as in leading galleries in Germany, Italy, France, the United States, Spain and other countries.
