Opera Gallery Opens Houston Location, Expanding Global Network
A major international gallery network is expanding into Houston, bringing blue-chip works by Monet, Picasso, Kusama, and Calder to the city’s growing collector scene.
International gallery Opera Gallery will open a new location in Houston’s River Oaks District on March 20, marking the gallery’s fourteenth global space.
Founded in Singapore in 1994 by dealer Gilles Dyan, Opera Gallery operates locations in major art centers including New York, London, Paris, Monaco, Dubai, and Singapore. The Houston gallery signals growing international interest in Texas’ collector base and expanding art market.
The inaugural exhibition will feature a mix of modern, post-war, and contemporary works, including pieces by Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Alexander Calder, Yayoi Kusama, Kehinde Wiley, and Fernando Botero.
According to gallery leadership, the Houston location aims to deepen relationships with collectors in Texas while presenting several curated exhibitions annually.
The gallery will be led by Gregory Lahmi, who previously directed Opera Gallery locations in Geneva, Aspen, and New York, alongside deputy director Kara Przybyl McIver, who has worked extensively with Houston collectors and private wealth clients.
The space opens March 20 and will run through April 19 for its inaugural presentation.
Galleries opening like this show how Texas has is quickly becoming one of the fastest-growing collector markets in the U.S., and international galleries are starting to follow the notice.
