The Best Art in Marina del Rey

The Best Art in Marina Del Rey? Yes it is still that way since the Rembrandt drawing was stolen last Saturday, two hours after the close of the Marchese Gallery Opening Reception. The events are not related of course, but it does posit the idea that the best art has to be somewhere in the Marina.

The good news is that the Rembrandt was found today in the Valley. So, until it is replaced at the Ritz-Carlton, please continue to beat a path to the Marchese Fine Art gallery on Fiji Way.

Hey -- enjoy some cake!

Marchese Fine Art Gallery Opening Reception

We had a great opening reception for the 11 artists in Howard Marchese's Fine Art Gallery in Marina Del Rey on Saturday. Nine of the artists were present: Nancy Carroll, Karl Dempwolf, Bernard Fallon, Howard Marchese, Vic Riesau, Junn Roca, Julie Snyder, Natasha Temares and Jacques Valin. So many people! I got out of there at 8.30 pm.

Two hours later at the nearby Ritz-Carlton, a Rembrandt drawing valued at $250,000 was stolen from their lobby.

Now the only decent art in Marina Del Rey is at the Marchese Fine Art Gallery.

Until, of course, the Rembrandt is found and returned to the Ritz-Carlton, which we hope is very soon.
