Opera Gallery has officially opened its 14th international location in Houston’s River Oaks District, marking a significant expansion of its global footprint. The new space debuted with a high-profile presentation featuring masterworks by Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, and Marc Chagall, alongside contemporary pieces by Yayoi Kusama and Kehinde Wiley. Led by Director Gregory Lahmi and Deputy Director Kara Przybyl McIver, the gallery plans to host several curated exhibitions annually focusing on Modern and Post-War art.
The move highlights Houston's growing status as a major hub for sophisticated art collectors and a key destination for international blue-chip galleries. By establishing a permanent presence in Texas, Opera Gallery aims to tap into the region's increasing wealth and private collecting communities, bridging the gap between European secondary market expertise and the American South's evolving cultural landscape.
