Forty years ago, Jose Tasende had his eye on a sculptural park in East Hampton on Long Island. He wanted a location for his international gallery, and since he already held a prominent presence in New York, it seemed like a good fit. <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
But his wife, Helen Tasende, had other plans. With a little persistence, she convinced him that a small beachside town across the country in southern California should be their home. So on June 1, 1979, he opened Tasende Gallery in La Jolla at 820 Prospect St., — and never looked back. <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
“I do everything my wife says,” he said with a smile. “‘It’s one of the conditions to remain married.” <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Sadly, Helen Tasende died in 2010, but thanks to her persuasion Tasende Gallery has grown to become a staple in La ‘Jolla’s artistic community. The ‘gallery’s doors first opened to feature famous sculptors like Giacomo Manzù and Henry Moore, whose semi-abstract bronze sculptures would later be installed at La Jolla Cove and the Salk Institute. <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Tasende also brought attention to ground breaking painters like Matta, Helen Frankenthaler, Lee Krasner, Richard Pousette-Dart and Wayne Thiebaud. He’s celebrating his gallery’s 40th-anniversary with an exhibit featuring the artists who best represented the past four decades: Henry Moore, Giacomo Manzù, Eduardo Chillida, Matta, Wayne Thiebaud, Lynn Chadwick, Fernando Botero, Jose Luis Cuevas, Mark di Suvero, and Niki de Saint Phalle. <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
When asked why he thinks he has continued to be successful after all these years, Tasende credits his ability to do things differently.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
“I swim against the current,” he said. <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Tasende Gallery director Mary Beth Petersen has a different idea. <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
“It’s his personality,” she said. “He’s very personable.”<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Tasende Gallery’s 40th-anniversary exhibition is currently up. Stop by from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday or from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. For more information about the gallery, visit <\/span>tasendegallery.com<\/a>.<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
