Roland-Garros: French Open Poster 2021 signed by the artist Jean Claracq with 2 beautifully illustrated books Au centre le court Philippe Chatrier & Trophies
Your chance to bid for a unique item of tennis memorabilia, donated by La Fédération française de tennis (FFT) and signed by the artist, capturing one of the most important new features at this year’s tournament, the introduction of night sessions.
The view from the Fond des Princes, an area located on the outer edge of the stadium, served as inspiration for Jean Claracq. Instead of choosing one of the show courts, he decided to shine the spotlight on one of the lower profile courts. He was touched by the multiple challenges at stake on the smaller courts, where the players’ ambitions and hopes are displayed in such a raw way, far away from the media spotlight. This multi-faceted piece also seems to evoke the players’ solitude.
The stunning poster is accompanied by 2 beautifully illustrated books from Les Carnets de Roland-Garros collection, reflecting the spirit of the stadium, whilst inviting you to discover the unique stories that make the Parisian Grand Slam so special
- Au centre le court Philippe Chatrier 106 pages with illustrations: Every year, the Porte d'Auteuil becomes a hive of activity for three weeks. Roland-Garros stadium throws open its gates and the second Grand Slam of the year gets everyone's adrenaline pumping. At the epicentre of the action is the beating heart of the stadium, Philippe-Chatrier Court.
This book invites readers to dive into the history of this legendary court, which stands the test of time thanks to its players, its spectators, its groundsmen and everyone whose passion brings it to life every year.
- Trophies 106 pages with illustrations: Celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Coupe des Mousquetaires, when sport and the art of silversmiths come together, giving rise to magnificent pieces of silverware that have become iconic emblems of the tournament. Every year, the trophies are infused with the winner's emotion, and no victory would be complete without lifting this Holy Grail. Full of laughter and tears, the prizegiving ceremony is an extraordinary tournament highlight.
