"On January 4, 1966, I initiated my work as an art dealer. That same day I met Jose Luis Cuevas at his home in Mexico City. Graciously he received my proposal to exhibit his work in the newly opened gallery. Inspired by my excitement for this new venture, he offered some lithographs and small drawings for an exhibition. Since that meeting it has been my great pleasure to organize more than a dozen exhibitions of te work of Jose Luis Cuevas for my own gallery, public institutions and other galleries. This present exhibit is a collection of drawings I have accumulated during those twenty-five years with Jose Luis Cuevas." --J.M. Tasende
