The Olympic Committee commissioned fifteen nationally known artists to create unique designs to promote the event. Hand-signed copies of this poster are incredibly hard to track down; there are said to be fewer than 200 in existence.
During the early 1980s Hockney began to experiment with complex photo-collages that he referred to as "joiners". Initially created with grids of Polaroid photographs (as in this image) he later adopted lab-processed 35mm film, which allowed the collages to take on a more organic arrangement. The different viewpoints and varying rates of exposure within the photographs allowed Hockney to create artworks that he felt were closer to the way we actually see objects in the world. The fluidity of movement captured in these artworks was especially well suited to depicting figures in water, one of Hockney's favoured motifs.
