I’m keen to show these photographs on tennis, which are the outcome of a stimulating commission received from Lavazza Group, and at the same time to present a new selection of sporting imagery produced over the course of my long career
Curated by Walter Guadagnini with the support of Monica Poggi, ‘We <3 Sports’ will trace the career of Martin Parr through some 150 images dedicated to the world of sport as seen by Parr – and commissioned by Lavazza Group – on the occasion of the main tennis tournament of recent years.
“I am proud that CAMERA can offer its public a major exhibition dedicated to sport and its values, even more so in a year in which Turin is the international capital of tennis with the Nitto ATP Finals, providing an extraordinary moment of renewal for the city. The Marin Parr exhibition, one of the most authoritative exponents of contemporary photography, is the most recent result of the fertile collaboration with two of our institutional partners – Magnum Photos and Lavazza Group – whom I would like to thank for the trust they have constantly shown in CAMERA: we look forward to welcoming thousands of Turin residents and guests from all over the world,” states Emanuele Chieli, President of CAMERA.
