Once in a lifetime opportunity to spend the evening with one of California's most prominent artists, Peter Alexander in his private Santa Monica studio.

You and your friends (8 adults total) will tour the artist's studio and discuss his work while enjoying wine and cheese, and you (the high bidder) will select one piece from the edited collection to take home.

Peter Alexander is an artist whose imagery has shaped art in Los Angeles for decades. He is one of the primary artists responsible for the Light and Space Movement that remains one of the more spiritually centered, mysterious explorations of our world as interpreted by artists. Alexander is perhaps best known for his icon paintings of Los Angeles Basin as seen from the windows of night flying airplanes approaching or departing Los Angeles. Entire cities are described merely by dots of color that represent lights and their alteration of the air. Some embrace the coastline, others the mountains, some include the competition of light from sunsets, from sunrises, from fiery cloud formations, and from the hazy dispersion by fog/smog/low clouds through which travelers pass as they approach the tarmacs of airports. Done in pastel or oil on canvas, paper or even velvet(!), they are breathtakingly beautiful.
