Olimpia Zagnoli: illustration, colour and editions

Olimpia Zagnoli: illustration, colour and editions

The Milan-based artist moves from editorial illustration to kinetic sculpture, ceramics, books and the official Milano Cortina 2026 poster.

Her bold graphic language appears in the New York Times and New Yorker and in international exhibitions. A widely distributed poster differs from an original or a signed edition.

Works and context

Born in Montecchio Emilia in 1984, Zagnoli has also shown kinetic sculptures, neon and ceramics. Caleidoscopica surveys her first decade of work; the official Milano Cortina 2026 poster illustrates how a widely circulating image differs from an original.

How to look closer

Check format, paper, signature, print run and provenance. A beautifully made open edition can be a satisfying purchase without being an investment.
