Last week we visited the Getty Villa for a glimpse of ancient art. This week we take you to the Samuel Freeman Gallery in Santa Monica. The gallery was recently the Patricia Faure Gallery and Sam has artfully handled the transition from one of the most respected art institutions of Los Angeles, founded by the Grand Dame of Los Angeles art, Patricia Faure.

The current group show pays ample tribute to Patty, and includes fine art from artists she discovered, befriended, nurtured, and promoted. Suspended on the wall behind Sam is a work by Peter Alexander. Inside the gallery, Sam is listening to the Chattering Man, a work by Jonathan Borovsky. Refreshments included a variation on the Bellini, this time comprised of peach nectar and chilled Prosecco. In Vino Veritas.
