          Mar. 03, 2024

          London 1948 Olympics. 1947.

          Est: $2,500 - $3,000

          ARTIST: WALTER HERZ (1909-1965) SIZE: 20 x 29 7/8 in./50.8 x 76 cm PRINTER: McCorquodale, London DESCRIPTION: The first Olympiad after World War II was held, fittingly, in the town that had suffered grievous losses during the long ordeal, but emerged victorious. There was only one official poster, by an artist who escaped from Nazism in 1939 and settled permanently in England; at this time, Herz was the art director of Heros Publicity Studios in London. The poster was printed in three sizes, of which this is the medium format. It gives the story in perfect shorthand: the Grecian athletic spirit meets the British Houses of Parliament. (Modern; Olympics; Sports)

          Oct. 14, 2014

          WALTER HERZ (1909-?). OLYMPIC GAMES / LONDON. 1948. 29x20 inches, 75x50 cm. McCorquodale & Co., London.

          Est: $1,500 - $2,000

          WALTER HERZ (1909-?) OLYMPIC GAMES / LONDON. 1948. 29 3/4x20 inches, 75 1/2x50 3/4 cm. McCorquodale & Co., London. Condition B+ / B: repaired tears, creases, abrasions and restoration in image and along sharp vertical and horizontal folds; scratch in image. A white marble statue of a discus thrower in front of Big Ben and the British Houses of Parliament. More than most Olympic posters, this not only announces the upcoming games, but also makes a proud, political statement. The Houses of Parliament were not only a recognizable British landmark, but having survived the heavy German bombardment during the recently-concluded war, they were also a source of pride for the English. Juxtaposing the British seat of government and the statue serves to equate the Ancient Greek games with London, but more importantly implies a level of longevity of the British spirit. "The hands on the clock face of Big Ben stand at four o'clock, the time that the Games were officially proclaimed open by King George VI" (Olympic Posters p. 56). This is the medium format. Olympic p. 53, Olympic Posters p. 55.
