The artists were commissioned by Tate Britain to create imagery that celebrates the Olympic Games coming to London and expresses the values of the Olympics and Paralympics. The posters were exhibited Tate Britain as part of the London 2012 Festival, a 12-week celebration of British culture running concurrent to the Games and featured as part of a high profile campaign to promote the London 2012 Games.
