HENRY VAN WOLF SCULPTURES GRACE MANY SAN FERNANDO VALLEY VENUES

DISCOVERING OUR VALLEY

In the 1950s this gateway to the studio of the San Fernando Valley sculptor, Henry Van Wolf, graced the corner of Chandler Boulevard and Hazeltine Street in Van Nuys. The gate was a major landmark for those looking north on Chandler.  Henry Wolf and his wife Veronica moved to Van Nuys from New York in 1944. Four years later, he founded the Valley Artists Guild.
