Paradise Courts
Embark on a journey around the planet and discover the worldâs most beautiful tennis courts through the sun-drenched photography of Emanuele dâAngelo. Known globally by his artistic alter-ego Broken Rackets, dâAngelo is a prominent figure in the international tennis scene. His body of work balances the rapid-fire ballet of the sport while keeping as much of an eye courtside at the globally-renowned figures in the crowd. A former fashion-industry insider whose discerning eye now shapes campaigns for elite houses, dâAngelo fell in love with the sport after attending the finals of the US Open.
Since then, his practice has evolved into a global quest to chronicle the hidden glamour and architectural purity of the sportâs dream courts, scouring the globe for courts that epitomise the glamour and core of the sport, from the crystalline shoreline of Lake Como, James Goldsteinâs iconic Los Angeles hillside estate, and the storied hard courts of New Yorkâs Central Park.
A statement book for the true connoisseur, Paradise Courts features a curated selection of over 200 original images by dâAngelo, carefully arranged in a large format, hardcover-bound volume with a tennis-ball-yellow spine and an elegant green velvet slipcase. Throughout the book, Foster Kamer interviews Reilly Opelka the 6â11â American serve maestro whose taste for museum-grade contemporary art mirrors his top-20 ATP career and Ted Gushue talks to James Goldstein, the legendary Los Angeles personality and owner of the John Lautner-designed Sheats-Goldstein House, providing a seldom-seen insight into the lives of tennis aficionados and sportspeople alike.
