Opera Gallery Singapore presents its 30th anniversary exhibition, ‘The Collector 1994’. This exhibition will showcase a unique selection of masterworks from renowned Impressionist, Modern and Contemporary artists, including Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Joan Miró, Alexander Calder, Pierre Soulages, Zao Wou-Ki, Yayoi Kusama, Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Fernando Botero and Manolo Valdés, to name a few.
To commemorate this milestone, the gallery space has been redesigned to recreate the apartment of an art collector in 1994, the year Opera Gallery established its first location in Singapore. ‘The Collector 1994’ transports viewers to the heart of the 1990s by recreating five living spaces of a collector’s home from thirty years ago: an entrance hall, a living room, a dining room, a bedroom, and a library. Opera Gallery is questioning the singular and personal relationship an art collector maintains with his artworks. Their works remain as influential today as they were 30 years ago, reflecting Opera Gallery’s journey over the past three decades—a journey marked by continuous growth and inspiration.
The exhibition’s special scenography allows the artworks to be experienced in a more personal and intimate manner. It’s a unique opportunity to travel back to 1994 and visit the intimate interior of a collector’s home.
Venue: Opera Gallery, 2 Orchard Turn # 02-16 ION Orchard, Singapore 238801
