Arcana: Books on the Arts along with Éditions 
Invite you to a Book Launch and Signing on
Thursday, July 28th between 5:00 and 7:00 PM
for Courts 02 by Ward Roberts
 

Following the release of Courts in 2012, New York-based photographer Ward Roberts releases the second volume of his comprehensive body of work documenting sporting courts in Hong Kong, Bermuda, Hawaii, New York, and Melbourne with Courts 02. 

 
Publisher Éditions has produced two separate releases of the book - a standard edition plus a collector’s edition limited to one hundred examples - and for the very first time a selection of three 23 x 23" color prints that will be on display and available for sale at the event.
 
"As all iconic images inevitably do, Ward Roberts’ Courts have now become a force of their own, circulating the world with terrific velocity via the rushing slipstream of the Internet, gathering momentum and making their mark upon the global eye. His work has brought together a growing community of followers, with whom he feels a humble sense of connection. This is, in a sense, the most beautiful reflection of the essence of what makes his images so riveting, his art so powerful: he gives life to the spaces of photography, and photography to the spaces of life". - Excerpt from Jennifer Kransinki's foreword to Courts 02, 2016.
