While most of Alec Monopoly’s collection in Miami features bright and neon-colored paintings, there are several pieces that have a more muted style. Staying true to his signature use of the above-mentioned characters, some of Monopoly’s newer works of art are reminiscent of vintage cartoons and drawings with a color palette that lends a nostalgic feel to modern themes.
The exclusive Alec Monopoly collection was opened in the Setai Hotel in Miami Beach as a pop-up gallery in 2018. Originally dedicated to exhibiting Monopoly art in honor of 2018’s Art Basel week, the Setai Hotel gallery retains a vast collection of rare Alec Monopoly paintings and sculptures that are not available at any other gallery location in the world.
