Boston Marathon – 1984 – Tore Wallin | Silkscreen (125/500)
This original 1984 Boston Marathon poster was created by artist Tore Wallin and issued as a limited edition silkscreen on paper. This example is hand-numbered 125/500, signed by the artist, and embossed, adding both authenticity and collectible distinction.
Produced for one of the world’s most historic and prestigious marathons, the 1984 edition captures the enduring spirit and tradition of the Boston Marathon. Wallin’s composition reflects the strong graphic sensibility characteristic of 1980s race posters, with bold forms and clean design elements that celebrate athleticism and civic pride. The silkscreen process lends richness and clarity to the image, with layered inks and crisp lines that enhance its visual impact.
As a signed and embossed limited edition from 1984, this print stands at the intersection of sports history and fine art printmaking. It represents both a specific moment in Boston Marathon history and a compelling example of late 20th-century event poster design.
