The Olympic Suite is composed of 50 lithographs and serigraphs chosen to represent various contemporary artistic trends. It was published to commemorate the first centenary of modern Olympism. The chosen artists work in very diverse movements and styles, from the hyperrealism of Antonio Lopez to the abstraction of Sol Lewitt, through abstract expressionism, the geometrism of Arden Quin, conceptual art, pop art, the new realism of Baldaccini and Rotella, or the new fauvism of Dokoupil, among others. Among the artists represented there are creators of great international renown, widely recognized by critics.
Carmelo Arden Quinn, an outstanding painter and sculptor, was the founder, together with the Argentine-Hungarian artist Gyula Kosice, of "Madí Art". He would meet Joaquín Torres García in 1935, who would lead him towards abstraction and geometrization.
