An original lithographic print by Alex Walter Diggelmann (1902-1987). Titled in pencil.
Diggelmann was an orienteerist, balloonist, cross-bowman and one of Switzerland’s best-known graphic and poster artists. For the 1948 Winter Olympics in St. Moritz, he designed the official poster and two of the four official Olympic stamps. After World War II, he designed the UEFA Cup for the European Football Union, and also the medals for the World Ski Championships, which are still awarded in his design. His iconic posters for the Swiss tourist board often realise extraordinary sums at auction.
We have recently acquired an extensive collection of original Diggelmann lithographs, mostly from the late 1970s, which we're offering for sale in our other listings.
The print's image size and signature fit neatly into standard commercial frames and passepartout, including several of IKEA's ranges.
