This summer and once again, Opera Gallery Monaco celebrates the beginning
of the summer season by inviting art collectors to an exhibition of singular
masterpieces. Since its inauguration in 2008, the Masters Show
has become
one of the Principality’s most awaited, most anticipated artistic rendez-vous,
thanks to a brilliant reputation of high quality works on display.
Under the auspices of His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco, this exhibition has been designed like an interwoven and eclectic cameo of the major artistic schools that marked the 20 th century, offering an itinerary enhanced by an impressive lineup of master artists: Georges Braque, Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Jean Dubuffet, Alexander Calder and Bernard Buffet.
Opera Gallery has supplemented this year’s show with a selection of contemporary art highlighting international, reputed artists like Keith Haring, Lucio Fontana, Pierre Soulages, Georges Baselitz, Robert Indiana, Fernando Botero and Mel Bochner. True to its reputation as a promoter of contemporary creativity, this exhibition is also, for Opera Gallery, the perfect occasion to reiterate its enthusiasm for the productions of the artists it has actively supported over the years: André Brasilier, Joe Black, Lita Cabellut, Mauro Corda, Andy Denzler, Marcello Lo Guidice, Pino Manos, Son Bong-Chae or David Kim Whittaker. And to officially announce the debut of an international collaboration that – we hope – will reach stimulating artistic heights with the renowned Spanish painter-sculptor, Manolo Valdés.
And finally, more than ever invested in our role of “discoverer of talents”, Opera Gallery is proud to present to the Monegasque public, today’s up and coming contemporary artists whose works we’ve been grateful to encounter recently, be it Yasmina Alaoui’s new mineral abstractions, the fascinating videos of Miguel Chevalier and Pascal Haudressy, the innovative “Calligraffiti” of Pokras Lampas or the textured combinations of acrylic and rice paper of Zhuang Hong Yi.
For the 6 th year in a row, Opera Gallery is partner to the Monegasque association Mission Enfance , which fights for children’s rights to education around the globe. This partnership, created for the long-term, perfectly aligns with our desire to contribute and have a positive impact on the Principality. It’s also a sign of our deep conviction of the importance, for every member of civil society, to get involved, especially when it comes to helping the most helpless among us.
It is a true pleasure for us at Opera Gallery, and an honor to invite you to this new edition of our yearly Masters Show, celebrating the triumph, the glory of the great masters of the 20 th and 21 st centuries while affirming our total and renewed confidence in tomorrow’s generation of contemporary artists.
