The Monaco Masters Show, American 80s: from Warhol to Basquiat

Opera Gallery is delighted to present this year’s edition of The Monaco Masters Show, under the High Patronage of His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco. ‘American 80s: from Warhol to Basquiat’, an exhibition in support of Mission Enfance, brings into focus a decade in which artistic production became inseparable from the cultural, economic and social transformations of its time. If the 1960s marked the rise of Pop Art, the 1980s amplified its legacy into a more accelerated, hybrid and self-aware visual language—one shaped as much by mass media and the economy as by street art, the studio and legendary clubs of the era such as Studio 54.
