The exhibition is styled like an art collector&rsquo;s home from the era, furnished with masterworks from Fernando Botero, Pablo Picasso, Pierre Soulages and more.

If you&rsquo;re nostalgic for the vibrant <a href="https://www.hommessingapore.com/style/best-90s-mens-celebrity-fashion-icons-for-style-inspiration-today" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1990s</a>, head on down to Opera Gallery and immerse yourself in the new masterworks exhibition, &lsquo;The Collector 1994&rsquo;. The showcase celebrates three decades since the gallery&rsquo;s founding in Singapore during the titular year, and presents a selection of 20th century masterpieces staged in an art collector&rsquo;s home typical of that bygone era.

The works of Modern and Contemporary masters like Fernando Botero, Pierre Soulages, <a href="https://www.hommessingapore.com/watches/watches-tate-gallery-swatch-art-journey-tate-modern-london" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marc Chagall</a>, Renee Magritte and more take pride of place alongside historically accurate furnishings and memorabilia &mdash; the VCR, electronic typewriter and palm pilot are total blasts from the past. There&rsquo;s even a Picasso piece in the &ldquo;bedroom&rdquo;, the highlight of the exhibition. The scenography sets a more intimate and personal mood to experience the artworks, and underscores their indelible nature in the facing of changing trends.

&ldquo;When I travelled to Singapore in 1994, it was with a suitcase full of works by French artists &mdash; many of them my contemporaries and friends,&rdquo; said Gilles Dyan, Founder and Chairman of Opera Gallery Group. &ldquo;Singapore is significant in Opera&rsquo;s history as our first location, a risk that has been most rewarding.&rdquo;
Check out &lsquo;The Collector 1994&rsquo; at Opera Gallery Singapore from 20 September to 20 October.
