Medal ranking was invented by the media, 2009
Gouache on paper, 38 x 52 inches
Using the results from the previous Lost Angeles Olympics project, I calculated the medal-count for each nation, including those who boycotted. The re-dispersed winnings are represented by magenta circles (gold medals), vermillion triangles (silver medals) and chrome yellow diamonds (bronze medals). Olympic records, or would-be Olympic records, are represented by the number of segments in the aqua triangles above each nation's three-letter Olympic country code.
