ABOUT: “Where the World Comes to Play” Official Poster — 1996 Atlanta Centennial Olympic Games By Aldo Luongo "Where the World Comes to Play" by internationally renowned artist Aldo Luongo is a vibrant and welcoming poster commissioned for the 1996 Atlanta Centennial Olympic Games, created to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the modern Olympic movement. The artwork celebrates the Olympics not just as a competition, but as a global gathering of cultures, nations, and shared human ambition. A Global Invitation Luongo’s composition emphasizes unity, movement, and international connection, presenting the Olympic Games as a meeting place for the world. Although the image shows the world as a soccer ball - rather than focusing on a single sport or athlete, the poster conveys the broader Olympic idea - a shared stage where nations come together through sport, respect, and celebration. The imagery radiates warmth and optimism, reflecting Atlanta’s role as host while embracing the worldwide spirit of the Games. Why This Poster Stands Out: By Renowned Artist Aldo Luongo - Luongo is celebrated for his expressive style, dynamic motion, and emotional depth. His Olympic work blends fine-art sophistication with accessible, uplifting imagery.   A Universal Olympic Message - "Where the World Comes to Play" captures the essence of the Olympics as a global gathering - making it timeless and internationally appealing.   Centennial Olympic Significance - Created for the only Olympic Games to celebrate 100 years of modern competition, this poster carries exceptional historical and collectible importance.   Fine Art Meets Olympic History - With its painterly composition and symbolic depth, the poster functions equally well as collectible memorabilia and as a standalone work of fine art.  A Defining Image of the Olympic Spirit - "Where the World Comes to Play" captures the heart of the Olympic movement - a place where competition gives way to connection, and sport becomes a shared language across borders..
