1 OPERA GALLERY at The Alpina Gstaad

2 OPERA GALLERY at The Alpina Gstaad Opera Gallery has been present on the international art scene for over 15 years with over ten galleries around the world and still new ones to come. Over the years, we are proud to say that we have sold and exhibited major pieces of modern and contemporary art (Picasso, Botero, Chagall, etc). We have also successfully promoted new talented artists and their art is now part of prestigious private and public collections. It is with great pleasure that we come to you today with this very exclusive exhibition in Gstaad, kindly hosted by the Alpina Gstaad Hotel. We have chosen each piece with very special care, as we aimed to render this exhibition an exceptional experience in this prestigious venue. We hope that you will appreciate this unique selection of some of the most representative pieces of modern and contemporary art from around the world and that you will enjoy this particular journey through art.
