About the workBeginning in 1970, Chris Reinecke, Jörg Immendorff and a few of their friends set up the "Büro Olympia" at Neubrückstraße 14 in the immediate vicinity of the Düsseldorf Art Academy and the historic city centre as a new platform for political protest. The initiators opposed the commercialisation and political motivation behind the public funding of professional sports. They declared war on the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich. The office quickly became a focal point for various political and social interest groups. Reinecke designed a series of small-format posters on various topics as outdoor advertising for the shop.
