About the Item

Very beautiful poster to promote the French Tennis Open of 1980 (Roland Garros Tournament) now called Roland Garros, which is one of the four Grand Slam tournaments. Since 1980, the F.F.T (French Tennis Federation), in partnership with the Lelong Gallery, commissions each year an artist to create a poster to promote the tournament. The F.F.T has recruited remarkable artists for the realization of these posters, including Valerio Adami, who has done a remarkable job in making this first poster. Valerio Adami is an Italian painter. Trained at the Accademia di Brera in Milan, he has since worked in London and Paris. His art is influenced by Pop Art. He is the most French of the Italian painters, especially known for his famous flat tints of acid colors and his forms surrounded by a black outline that remind us of the clear line of the comic strip but also the stained glass windows of churches. The main themes of his paintings are literature, travel, and the relationship between poetry, music and painting. From the beginning, he has also maintained close relationships with writers and artists of the international avant-garde in Paris. Sport - Tennis Modern Lion printing Paris

Circa 1990 original poster by Razzia for Slazenger Tennis - Bjorn Borg
By Razzia (Gérard Courbouleix–Dénériaz)
Located in PARIS, FR
The circa 1990 original poster by Razzia for Slazenger Tennis is a striking example of the artist’s signature style, blending luxury, sport, and bold graphic design. Known for his elegant and sophisticated approach to advertising, Razzia—whose real name is Gérard Courbouleix–Dénériaz—created some of the most recognizable promotional posters of the late 20th century, covering subjects from fashion to automobiles and sports. This Slazenger Tennis poster reflects the prestige and tradition associated with the Slazenger brand, one of the oldest and most respected names in tennis. Founded in 1881, Slazenger has long been linked to Wimbledon, professional tournaments, and classic sports aesthetics. The poster, likely featuring clean lines, refined composition, and a minimalist yet luxurious approach, captures the timeless elegance of tennis as both a competitive and lifestyle sport. Razzia’s work often evokes a sense of nostalgia and exclusivity, drawing inspiration from Art Deco and early 20th-century advertising posters. His technique—unlike modern digital design—relies on hand-painted artwork transformed into high-quality lithographs, adding a unique richness and depth to his compositions. As a collectible, this 1990s Slazenger Tennis poster is highly sought after by sports enthusiasts, tennis memorabilia collectors, and fans of Razzia’s artwork. It stands as a testament to Slazenger’s legacy in professional tennis and the enduring power of classic sports advertising. Sport - Roland Garros - Björn Borg Rally Posters...
