Karl Hab Takes Us Down to the 'Tennis Courts'
Karl Habhas unveiled his latest photobook: an aerial exposé of the aesthetics that lie inside the lines of the tennis court.
EntitledTennis Courts,Hab's latest longform endeavor pays homage to the hidden architectural beauty of the court, arriving as a thematic compilation of primarily aerial short photos that explore the sport and its surrounding atmosphere through Hab's aesthetic lens.
Spanning courts all over the world – Paris, London, and California – Haab has long been captivated by the sporting spaces, though he began officially shooting photos for this project back in 2013. Totalling 136 pages, the book spotlights the calm yet captivating aura of the courts through various angles, with Hab playing around with form, color, and composition.
'These elements all come together as a kind of visual language that I find endlessly inspiring,' Hab said in a press release.
'The images I have chosen – some never seen until now – are among my favourites, as my intention was to frame the sport through an alternate aesthetic lens. True to my work, this book is a photographic exploration, an artistic tribute to the beauty of tennis environments.'
While as much asTennis Courtsoffers an alternative look at the sport, the book, per Hab, is less about the game itself and more about 'the atmosphere it creates.'
Available to purchase now at Hab's official24HBooks webstore,Tennis Courtsruns for €40,00 euros, or roughly $47 USD.

5 Labubu Dolls That Sold for Shocking Prices
A Labubu isn't some high-end collectible made from rare materials. It's a bug-eyed toy with nine teeth that sells for as little as $15. However, certain versions have ended up fetching five or even six figures at auction. Explore More: Read Next: A few of these were part of fashion or pop culture crossovers, but others were just big, weird or lucky enough to result in a bidding war. Here's a look at the Labubu dolls that sold for prices no one expected. Mint-Green Life-Sized Labubu Sold for: over $150,000 Although one might expect to pay considerably more than average for a life-size version of a Labubu, they probably wouldn't fathom a six-figure price tag. However, a mint-green version of the doll — over four feet tall, with pointy teeth and gremlin features — went for $150,275.51 at a Yongle auction in Beijing, according to Reuters. To be fair, it was a one-of-a-kind, first-generation Labubu. For You: Don't Hear, Don't See, Don't Speak Labubu Set Sold for: nearly $26,000 This three-figure Labubu set originally sold at Sotheby's Hong Kong for HK$203,200 (around $25,888 USD), per Prestige Hong Kong's Instagram account. It had an estimate of HK$40,000 to HK$80,000 ($5,096 to $10,192 USD), but ended up fetching well above what you'd likely expect for an arguably creepy-cute set of sculptures inspired by a Confucian quote. Brown Life-Sized Labubu Sold for: over $114,000 It didn't get as much attention as the green one, but a brown life-sized Labubu, at 63 inches tall, still commanded $114,086 at the Yongle International Auction in Beijing, according to ABC17NEWS. The figure isn't one-of-a-kind, however; it has about 14 clones across the globe. Labubu and Vans Old Skool Plush Sold for: range starting around $3,200 The Labubu and Vans Old Skool plush is about 15 inches tall and looks like it just cruised out of a skate shop. The doll wears a graphic pullover, blue-and-orange cap and brown sneakers, and comes with a tiny skateboard. The face still has that sharp-toothed, gremlin look fans expect. Resale prices average around $3,200, with some listings over $5,400. Sacai and Seventeen X Labubu Sold for: $31,250 This Labubu blind box drop ran during Pharrell Williams' JOOPITER auction from June 8-18, 2025. The boxes were sealed, and buyers didn't know which figure they'd Labubu had acid-green fur and came dressed in a beige Sacai x Carhartt WIP outfit (except for one secret version with a different outfit, per Stereogum). The dolls sold at auction for between $18,750 and $31,250 each, according to Women's Wear Daily.
