Published by Lloyd Shin Gallery, Inc. Edition size unspecfied, some printed, none distributed. The contract to produce the posters for the XXIV Olympic Games in 1988 in Seoul was awarded to Lloyd Shin of Chicago, who had a gallery in Chicago and a gallery and contacts in Seoul. A number of prominent artists, including Lichtenstein, agreed to create images for the posters. It is unclear what happened but apparently the posters were never distributed, though a number were printed. A few were given to the participating artists. This image was then used by Lichtenstein later in 1988 for a lithograph of the same name, printed in 1989 (Corlett 235).
