Al Oerter is the first athlete to win the same Olympic event four times in a row and the only one to set Olympic records each time. His Olympic accomplishments are legend enough, but the man, Al Oerter, is remembered by family, friends, and fans as a man of integrity, humility, and kindness.

Considered as the modern Olympic competitor, Al Oerter is the first athlete to win four gold medals at four successive Olympiads. He barely made the Olympic teams & was never favored. Learn more.

Al Oerter barely made the Olympic Teams and was never favored to win the Olympic Games. His work ethic to be at his best carried him on to Olympic victories. It was his long term commitment to excellence that was his greatest joy in competition. Al never competed against others---it was a test of his own capabilities at that moment in time.

Al’s ‘discus’ impact paintings evolved into colorful abstract art. In many of his paintings you will see circular forms, no doubt from his love affair with the discus.

Al Oerter didn’t define his life with one thing or simply being a discus thrower. He was pleased to begin an art career exploring the potential within him. We are gratified to offer The Al Oerter Collection of high-resolution giclee scans, gallery wrapped on canvas, signed and numbered on the back by his wife, Cathy Oerter.

By training the body in sport and the mind in art, literature, poetry, and music, the ancient Olympic Games aspired to produce more responsible and enriched citizens. Al Oerter's vision turned towards those ancient Olympic ideals, and he founded Art of the Olympians.
