As part of Monaco Art Week, Monaco’s Opera Gallery is currently exhibiting a range of paintings all of which have a strong connection to Monaco or the Cote d’Azur. Picassos, iconic Chagalls and ebullient Boteros combine in splendid tribute to their various provenance.
As must be expected of the Opera Gallery, the display is artfully and thoughtfully presented. All the canvases are for sale, and no description here can do justice to the vibrancy of the ‘real thing.’

Around the corner, the Ribolzi Gallery could be relied upon to offer something special and different for Monaco Art Week, and here in its classical setting a range of work by Indian artist Ganga Singh adorns its walls. His pieces are wonderfully exotic, so evocative of the sub-continent, complex, and very affordable.

Aux sources de l’Inde runs until September 15.
Monaco Art Week continues with the opening of the Turner expo at the Grimaldi Forum – in collaboration with London’s Tate – on Saturday, July 6 (until September 1), and the eighth edition of the artmonte-carlo exhibition on Saturday, July 6 and Sunday July 7.
