About the artist: Antonio Saura, born in 1930 in Huesca, Spain, began drawing and writing as a self-taught artist as early as 1943. In 1953 he moved to Paris and joined the Surrealist group. In 1958 he participated in the Venice Biennale and in 1959 in Documenta II in Kassel, and in the same year he was exhibited in München at the van de Loo gallery together with Antoni Tàpies. In 1960 he received the Guggenheim Prize in New York, where a year later he exhibited at the Pierre Matisse Gallery. Alongside satirical works on paper, the first etchings and screenprints emerged. After retrospectives at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and the Kunsthalle Baden-Baden, he, together with Chillida and Soulages, received the Carnegie Prize in 1964. From 1967 he worked in winter in Paris and in summer in Cuenca/Spain, giving up painting on canvas for ten years in favor of works on paper. In 1975 the Maeght Gallery in Barcelona showed a retrospective of works on paper, and in 1977 he participated in Documenta VI in Kassel. In 1979 came retrospectives with over 300 works on paper, including at the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf, and the Fundació Joan Miró in Barcelona. In 1994 the Museum of Modern Art in Lugano showed painting from 1948-1990; four years later Antonio Saura died in Cuenca. Works by Antonio Saura are held, among others, by the Museum of Modern Art/New York, the Centre Georges Pompidou/Paris, the Stedelijk Museum/Amsterdam, the Tate Gallery/London, the Nationalgalerie Berlin, the Wien Museum (Museum for the 20th Century) in Vienna, and the Centro de Arte Reina Sofía/Madrid. About the artwork: Roland Garros is the traditional home of the Internationaux de France held annually; the tennis tournament is worldwide better known as the French Open.
