André Brasilier Celebrates 95th Birthday with Paris Retrospective

Opera Gallery Paris presents 'André Brasilier. 60 ans de peinture', a retrospective of over forty paintings spanning the French artist's six-decade career, coinciding with his 95th birthday. Born in Saumur in 1929, Brasilier graduated from the École des Beaux-Arts in 1949 and has held over 100 solo shows worldwide. His work is in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Notable exhibitions include a 1988 show at Musée Picasso in Antibes and a 2005 retrospective at the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg—an honor shared only with Picasso. A major retrospective toured Japan in 2007, and Sotheby's Hong Kong hosted a monumental exhibition in August 2022, followed by Seoul Art Center in 2023. Brasilier's subjects include horses, his wife and muse Chantal, music, and nature. The exhibition runs until April 16, 2025, at Opera Gallery, 62 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, Paris.
