The La Jolla Gallery recently hosted the first of its “Collector Dinner” series, inviting from The Hamptons, resident artist Jerome Lucani. Seated among 20 of the galleries top collectors, Lucani discussed his “Icon Series” and new works. Hosted by the gallery owners, the guests were treated to a unique experience of art, food and drink. The gallery floor was transformed to present a chic, candle-lit farm feel, and art collectors were served a culinary masterpiece by an in-house private chef as they sipped specialty cocktails tailored to the evening and the artworks.
