International Ski Jumping Competition 1966 Wieda-Südharz

Boldly designed promotional poster for the International Ski Jumping Competition held on Sunday, 7 August 1966, at the Sommerschanze (summer ski jump) in Wieda, Südharz, under the patronage of the Prime Minister of Lower Saxony (Niedersächsischer Ministerpräsident).

The dynamic illustration of a ski jumper in profile, executed in striking red, blue, and turquoise tones, captures the speed and energy of the sport. The event was organized by the Wintersportverein Wieda, established in 1923, and sponsored by Rieker, the well-known German boot manufacturer (advertised here as Der Skistiefel).

This poster exemplifies the energetic style of mid-1960s European sports advertising, blending bold graphic forms with strong color contrasts to convey movement and modernity.

Condition: Good. Light age wear, central folds, small tears along edges.
