‘Unveiling Masters in the City’ represents an eclectic aesthetic presentation in
homage to Miami’s artistic landscape.
“Founded in 1990, Art Miami arguably laid the groundwork for the city’s
reputation to be forever shifted in 2002 when the first iteration of Art
Basel launched in South Beach”, says Opera Gallery’s Miami Director,
Dan Benchetrit. “Recognized for its distinctive Latin American influence
and geographical position as a gateway between North and South America,
Miami’s role in the art world has outgrown its reputation as being a mere host
to Art Basel”. With its careful attention to fostering community, pushing
boundaries, and cultivating change to encourage important conversations,
Miami Art Week has consistently been a large-scale representation of the
art world’s best qualities. Benchtrit added, “Opera Gallery is proud to have
contributed to not only the magic of Miami Art week, but the broader cultural
scene in Miami for more than twenty years”.
Over the years, Opera Gallery
in Miami has presented
museum quality exhibitions
celebrating artistic genius
spanning generations and
mediums. From Art in
action, a comprehensive
survey of Keith Haring’s
oeuvre to Picasso, Miró,
Valdés. Spanish masters, a
resonance, an homage to
twentieth century masters
from Spain to A love letter
to Latin America, a solo
tribute to Fernando Botero,
the aim of Opera Gallery’s exhibition programming has been to consistently
surprise, delight and challenge the viewer.
In similar fashion, Unveiling masters in the city is an exhibition designed
and curated as an eclectic presentation of Modern and Contemporary artistic
mastery representative of Opera Gallery’s unique place within Miami’s cultural
DNA since 2002. Featuring the work of 31 artists from different generations
and created using a wide range of medium and materials, this exhibition is both
a celebration of Opera Gallery Group’s 30 Year Anniversary and a love letter to
the South Florida’s creative community in which Opera Gallery continues to
be grateful to contribute to.
