Roland-Garros 1988 magnet by Pierre ALECHINSKY

The official 1988 Roland-Garros poster, created by Pierre Alechinsky, a great Belgian master of painting and engraving, perfectly illustrates his distinct taste for lithography and his inimitable style. For this work, Alechinsky imagined the planet of tennis as a solar body in perpetual motion, transformed by the passage of time and the gazes of spectators courtside. Bold colors, liberated technique, and expressive calligraphy are the hallmarks of this poster, which paves the way toward allusive abstraction while remaining anchored in the world of tennis. A nod from the master to the energy and poetry of the tournament, this vibrant and solar creation stands out as a powerful piece in the Roland-Garros collection, celebrating the meeting between contemporary art and a global sporting event.
