About the Artwork & Artist
Beginning in the 1960s, Peter Max became renowned for rendering vibrant cosmic and pop-culture landscapes. His distinctive style brings a unique artistic energy to major cultural and athletic events, blending dynamic brushwork with iconic sports imagery.
This particular poster commemorates the 1996 NHL All-Star Game, held on January 20, 1996, at the FleetCenter in Boston, Massachusetts. Serving as the official artist for the event, Max applied his signature neo-expressionist palette and bold strokes to capture the high-intensity action on the ice between the Eastern and Western Conference all-stars.
Max’s art deeply reflects his social, spiritual, and aesthetic interests. Over the decades, he has evolved into a dedicated champion of numerous causes, ranging from environmentalism and the campaign for Tibet to the restoration of the Statue of Liberty.
