Reilly Opelka takes us through his various collections and explains his journey as a young tennis star and how collecting is a needed distraction from the rigorous training and ATP schedule. @matthewchevallard and Reilly discuss Art collecting and the misconstrued sentiments behind what it means to be an art collector.
Whether it’s Art, Vintage Tees, Jewelry, or Chrome Hearts accessories, Reilly demonstrates how an individual’s collection(s) can reflect their personality off the court or off the field. Being amongst a group of #ATPtour players whom are not so interested in Art, Reilly finds himself channeling inspiration from tennis legend, #JohnMcEnroe, a gallery owner in Soho and an avid art collector. After America turned its head away after the tennis boom in the 80s/90s, Reilly took it upon himself to be a leader both on the court with his killer serve, and off the court with his fashion style and various collections.
#theartofcollecting is a series that celebrates the passion for collecting from the vantage point of art, and other peripheral collections of design, such as watches, jewelry, shoes, cars, and furniture. The series will showcase the collections of several leaders in their respective industries.Being at the forefront of the art industry, our mission is to encourage collecting of all sorts, to break the notion that there is only one way of collecting. Through different stories and presentations, we provide the opportunity for inspiration and encourage beginner collectors to collect in whichever way they please.
