Much-loved photographer Martin Parr captures all the 'Grand Slam' action in his inimitable, vibrant style. Parr's colourful shots — sometimes poignant, often hilarious — provide a unique overview of life on and off the court, from players to picnickers, sun-hats and visors to rein-stops-play. Parr's images prove that the tournaments are not just about the action unfolding on the courts ; they are destination events in their own right and prime opportunities for people-watching.
Parr's photographs range from bird's-eye landscapes that richly evoke the carnival atmosphere to small details that speak volumes — such as a jam scone balanced in the lap of a floral dress that embodies Wimbledon, or a smart pile of Panama hats that could only be found at Roland Garros. Match Point features 85 colour photographs and an introduction by curator Sabina Jaskot-Gill, which provides unique insight into Parr's work.
