Among the highlights are Monet’s Les Bords de l’Epte à Giverny (1887), formerly part of the collection of French art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel, and Picasso’s Le Bain (1968), once held in the esteemed Berggruen collection and previously exhibited at renowned institutions including the Musée de l’Orangerie and the Musée National Picasso.
The Singapore Masters Show also features Kusama’s Starry Pumpkin (2016), which was included in her landmark exhibition at the National Gallery Singapore. The exhibition encompasses a wide range of styles and movements, from Impressionism and Cubism to Pop Art and contemporary figuration.
Warhol’s Reigning Queens: Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom (1985) stands as a prominent example of post-war pop culture commentary, while Condo’s Abstract Portrait Composition (2021) reflects a modern reinterpretation of Picasso’s cubist influence.
With works drawn from prestigious private collections and international exhibitions, The Singapore Masters Show promises to be a must-see event on the city’s cultural calendar, offering a rare chance to witness the evolution of artistic innovation across centuries.
The exhibition is open to the public at Opera Gallery Singapore from 3 October to 3 November 2025.
