The “Art of the” line of designed images has become one of the most popular pieces of sports art that Upper Deck Authenticated produces. It began as an “Art of the Slapshot” piece featuring hockey great Wayne Gretzky. The image sequence was taken from a famous Sports Illustrated photo shoot. UDA has since created “Art of the Swing” pieces from golfers Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and upcoming LPGA star Shanshan Feng. “Art of the Pass” pieces are impressive for football greats Joe Montana, Brett Favre, John Elway, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. Who better than Serena Williams to be UDA’s first “Art of the Shot” athlete? The greatest female athlete of all time has been so honored with this designed distinction.

These images were taken at the 2019 Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club at Wimbledon in London. This version is finished with a white suede mat and a black wood frame. Williams has autographed this limited edition (50) “Art of the Shot” 36” x 15” designed image in gold paint pen. Her signature is deemed authentic by virtue of Upper Deck Authenticated’s Five-Step Process.
