About the artist: Antonio Seguí, one of the most internationally renowned Argentinian artists, was born in 1934 in Córdoba. He studied at the San Fernando Academy in Madrid, Spain, and at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France. In 1955 he returned to Córdoba, where he studied law and first exhibited his paintings. He traveled extensively through South and Central America before moving permanently to France in 1963, where he lived and worked in Arcueil, near Paris, until he passed away in February 2022 in Buenos Aires at the age of 88. Early in his career, Seguí’s work was close to expressionist figuration, full of irony. Gradually his figuration moved into the absurd, and he built something like a theater, a stage, on which a man in motion searches for his place in the world. With charcoal, pastels, pencil, or ink, he brings to life a colorful and graphic world that seems to originate from the universe of comics, with the entire urban hustle as its background. Seguí’s works are collected and exhibited worldwide, including at MoMA, New York; the Art Museum of the Americas, Washington, DC; Frissiras Museum, Athens, Greece; Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires, Argentina; Museum der Moderne Salzburg, Austria; Museum of Modern Art Dubrovnik, Croatia; and Museo Tamayo, Mexico City, Mexico. In 2005, the Musée National d’Art Moderne in Paris organized a retrospective of his works on paper. His works are in the permanent collections of the Musée National d’Art Moderne in Paris, the Museum of Modern Art and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, as well as the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, DC, to name only a few. About the artwork: Roland Garros is the traditional home of the annual Internationaux de France; the tennis tournament is better known worldwide as the French Open. This is one of the official posters designed and created each year for the tennis tournament at Roland Garros.
