If you’re an art-lover, you should know Tasende Gallery in La Jolla, which has been in existence for almost half a century, and exhibits museum-quality international art.
Originally established by José Tasende in 1979, the senior Tasende is still Gallery President, with his son Aitor Tasende as Gallery Manager—the one who will greet you at the door.
Other personnel you may get to meet on a visit: Aitor’s sister Betina Tasende, Associate Director of the Gallery,
and Gallery Director Mary Beth Petersen, who started out as the founder’s assistant in 1979.
Those are the people behind the gallery, and their current exhibition, as always, is well worth seeing. Here’s a look at some of the 18 pieces we encourage you to go see for yourself.
