The exhibition features nearly 50 paintings from the Gardena High School Art Collection, often cited as one of the nation’s greatest collections of early 20th century California art. Anderson, a former curator at the Laguna Art Museum, is a specialist in 20th century American art, with a focus on the art of California. Admission is free for museum members and $15 for non-members.
