London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic PostersTwelve artists have put their thoughts on the Olympics to paper for the official Olympic and Paralympics posters for London 2012. The Tate Britain is giving visitors the opportunity to admire the pieces at a free exhibition during the Cultural Olympiad, the public can also sign up to receive information on how to purchase limited edition prints of the art. The posters include Rachel Whiteread's take on the Olympic Rings, which are also meant to represent marks left by drinking glasses to symbolize the memories of a social gathering. Another piece is Chris Ofili's For The Unknown Runner; this is a blend of a super-athlete and a mythical creature running past a watching crowd; the figure is outlined with a vase motif, representative of the Ancient Olympic Games. Further official posters were created by artists including Anthea Hamilton, Howard Hodkin, Martin Creed, and Bridget Riley.
