奧運會作為全球聚焦的盛事,不只雲集了最頂尖的運動員,連帶周邊的設計同樣大有來頭。歷年來,不少奧運海報皆出自赫赫有名的藝術家手筆,David Hockney就曾為1972年慕尼黑奧運會的海報操刀。海報的主視覺一看就甚有他的風格,在藍綠色塊構成的泳池中,捕捉了跳水運動員躍入水中的一瞬,有種來自夏日的清爽快感。

其他展出的作品包括1984年洛杉磯夏季奧運會的海報,由Robert Rauschenberg操刀,以拼貼手法堆砌出動感的影像,名為《Star in Motion》;2012年則採用了Rachel Whiteread的玩味設計《LOndOn 2O12》,以五環元素呈現出繽紛抽象而令人印象深刻的構圖,同屆還有Howard Hodgkin的設計,藉著一片由輕到重的湛藍筆觸勾勒出泳手的世界,名為《Swimming》。

今次的焦點藝術品包括Andreas Gursky的航拍作品《Amsterdam, Arena I》(2000),從高空視覺呈現一場足球比賽的全景,球員的制服和草坪在遠距離下簡化為平版的點線面;而Jonas Wood的《Scholl Canyon2005 )則將高爾夫球場的寧謐景致轉化為多層次的抽象構圖。

此外,還有來自已故地景藝術大師Christo為《Running Fence》(1974)創作的繪畫,《Running Fence》是一件長達39.4公里的公共雕塑作品,以浩瀚的規模,傳遞出馬拉松般的文化傳播與團結精神。Christo另一件著名作品《Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped(包裹凱旋門)》 (1961–2021)所用到的大型織物將改作帳篷,在巴黎奧運延續他的遺志。其他精選作品分別出自Keith Haring、村上隆、Marc NewsonEd RuschaAndy Warhol等,名副其實粒粒皆星。
