    At that time, foreign books were very expensive in Yugoslavia. In one of my visits Nikola Konstantinovic proudly showed me his new trophy, the book Milton Glaser – Graphic Design.

Milton Glaser and Sarajevo

Milton Glaser created posters for Sarajevo on two occasions. The first was in 1983. Then the International Olympic Committee asked him to create a poster for the promotion of the XIV Winter Olympic Games in Sarajevo. He offered two designs. One with an antique pole as the motif and another with the motif of a skier. Both were also produced as prints and are held today in the collection of the International Olympic Committee as well as the collection of the Museum of the XIV Winter Olympic Games in Sarajevo (Collection of the Olympic Committee of Bosnia and Herzegovina).
