ABOUT: “Wrestling” Official Poster — 1996 Atlanta Centennial Olympic Games By Hiro Yamagata  - "Wrestling" by internationally acclaimed artist Hiro Yamagata is one of the most visually dynamic and conceptually modern posters commissioned for the 1996 Atlanta Centennial Olympic Games, created to honor the 100th anniversary of the modern Olympic movement. Yamagata’s bold, luminous style transforms one of the Olympics’ oldest and most demanding sports into a powerful statement of strength, strategy, and timeless competition. An Ancient Sport Through a Modern Lens Wrestling is among the original Olympic disciplines, rooted in classical tradition and physical mastery. Yamagata reinterprets this ancient sport with his signature use of vivid color, layered perspective, and energetic composition, bridging the gap between antiquity and contemporary global sport. Rather than focusing on realism, the artwork conveys motion, tension, and balance, capturing the mental and physical duel that defines Olympic wrestling. Why This Poster Stands Out:  By Renowned Artist Hiro Yamagata - Yamagata is internationally recognized for his optimistic, futuristic aesthetic and large-scale public works. His Olympic posters are among the most collectible sport designs of the Centennial Games.   One of the Oldest Olympic Sports - Wrestling’s deep historical roots make this poster especially meaningful within the Centennial celebration of Olympic history.   Centennial Olympic Significance - Created for the only Olympic Games to mark 100 years of modern competition, this poster holds exceptional historical and collectible value.   Museum-Quality Contemporary Art - With its bold colors and striking composition, "Wrestling" functions as both Olympic memorabilia and a standalone work of contemporary fine art.  A Timeless Sport Reimagined for the Centennial Games Wrestling by Hiro Yamagata captures the enduring spirit of Olympic competition - where strength meets strategy, and tradition meets innovation. It stands as a bold artistic tribute to one of the Games’ most historic sports and to the modern, global vision of the Atlanta 1996 Olympics.
