About Gérard Rancinan<br />
Born in the Bordeaux region, Gérard Rancinan travels the globe, bearing first hand witness to<br />
events of historical importance. Natural catastrophes, civil and ethnic wars, and urban riots... he<br />
comes face to face with the complexity of the human condition and the random events by which it<br />
is fashioned. His imperious need for self- expression leads him to focus on the world’s most<br />
important issues; he delivers startling images filtered through an ever-evolving aesthetic prism.<br />
Constantly breaking down barriers, he is, by turn, an investigator deconstructing the great sagas of<br />
contemporary life, and a portraitist. His photographs of athletes, artists, ecclesiastics and<br />
politicians have become iconic. His images have earned him a number of prizes, including four<br />
prestigious World Press Awards. Following his domain of predilection, in the “Trilogy of the<br />
Moderns” he becomes the wakeful observer of his contemporaries.<br />
Internationally renowned, Gérard Rancinan’s work is exhibited in the world’s most prestigious<br />
galleries and museums and features in the important contemporary art collections. During a recent<br />
Étude Millon auction at Drouot (2008), Gérard Rancinan became one of the highest ranked<br />
photographers in France. Gérard Rancinan is a Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres.<br />
About Opera Gallery<br />
Founded in Paris in 1994 and now internationally established with galleries in Paris, London,<br />
Geneva, Monaco, New York, Miami, Singapore, Hong Kong, Beijing, Seoul and Dubai, Opera<br />
Gallery is one of the rare dealers in modern and contemporary American, European and Asian art<br />
with museums and private clients worldwide.<br />
Offering artworks of exceedingly high quality, the gallery has a reputation for excellence, integrity<br />
and discretion that it continues to earn by providing a high level of service to understandably<br />
demanding clients.<br />
Since its creation, Opera Gallery Group has always strived to offer its international collectors<br />
unique access to a diversity of multicultural artists. Whilst most galleries focus primarily upon artist<br />
representation and promotion, Opera Gallery is collector oriented. This means the gallery will<br />
assess quality and authenticity, evaluate, exhibit, care for, buy and sell art principally for the<br />
benefit of the collector.<br />
The gallery has presented museum-quality exhibitions of Chagall, Picasso, Dali and Botero<br />
throughout its international locations.<br />
Through its international expansion, Opera Gallery will soon open 2 new offices in Beijing<br />
(December 2011) and Taipei (2012).<br />
