Contemporary art, the other passion of Michaël Zingraf
Known for offering the most prestigious real estate properties in France, Michaël Zingraf has another passion, contemporary art.

Furthermore, the brand is in partnership with Fraser Yachts and features the most handsome boats in the world, while cultivating partnerships with the Cannes Film Festival, the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Monaco or the Monaco Yacht Show.

But Michaël Zingraf has more than one string in his bow. This authentic connoisseur of contemporary art, photos and sculptures is also the happy owner of an exhibition space spanning 400 m², in Opio—cleverly baptized Opiom Gallery.
