Additional Details: This signed, numbered HC (Hors Commerce) out of 50, and dated lithograph by Velickovic is a striking example of the artistic tradition embraced by the Roland Garros French Open since 1981, when Eduardo Arroyo’s iconic series set the creative standard. Unlike the more conventional posters of the US and Australian Opens, Roland Garros posters are celebrated for their artistic flair, quirkiness, and eccentric interpretations of the tournament’s spirit. Numbered in Roman numerals, this piece features the silhouette of a tennis player captured in mid-backhand, depicted only from the right side. The artist emphasizes the intensity of the moment by painting the ball in vibrant red, symbolizing the energy and force behind each hit. This visually dynamic composition reflects Velickovic’s ability to fuse movement, power, and artistry, making it a cherished collectible for tennis and art enthusiasts alike.
