Opera Gallery Monaco is pleased to present Ellen von Unwerth’s Beauté Fatale, her second solo exhibition with Opera Gallery group following major success in London earlier this year.
We continue to explore the full range and complexity of her work in this latest exhibition, featuring a series of works which reflects the full scope and versality of von Unwerth’s photography. The eye travels through images in black and white to colour, immersed in a world filled with iconic celebrities and decadent revelry. Each image balances Ellen von Unwerth’s technical mastery with extraordinary and provocative theatrical exuberance.
Through her lense, Ellen von Unwerth captures vivid moments which bring to life the seductive muse. Her unique vision and a strong, confident and unabashed female gaze, ensures that her subjects are presented as spirited, sensual but also fiercely independent. This emancipated representation of the feminine is key to her work and an important aspect that we are very proud to present.
Monaco is a place which thrives on fun, studded with stars and sun. There could be no more appropriate place to present this selection of the artist’s major photographs to our esteemed collectors and supporters. We are delighted to continue our collaboration with Ellen von Unwerth and hope that you find as much delight in her work as we do.

Opening: Thursday 20 September 2018, 6.00 - 9.00 pm
