The Galleries’ Fall Offensive

The biggest surprise of the season is the arrival of two galleries in Beverly Hills, which has been better known for glittering, commercial showcases along Rodeo Drive than for the more restrained, scholarly style that attracts the cognoscenti. “I wouldn’t have taken a spot there (on Rodeo Drive) if the rent was free,” said dealer Louis Stern. Instead, the Louis Stern Galleries opened around the corner, at 9528 Brighton Way, and packed in 200 people last week at a reception for the inaugural exhibition of Impressionist, Post-Impressionist and modern artworks.
