Riverhouse Editions is the outgrowth of the van Straaten Gallery,
one of the country's oldest and largest dealers in
contemporary fine prints. The van Straaten Gallery was founded in 1969 by William van Straaten in Chicago. Dedicated to
offering only the highest quality etchings, lithographs, woodcuts, and other works on paper, the
gallery includes works by Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, Sol Lewitt, James Rosenquist,
Jennifer Bartlett, Louise Bourgeois and many other leading contemporary artists.
The gallery's clientele includes private collectors, museums and corporate collectors.
Among its corporate clients are A.T. Kearney, the Boston Consulting Group, the Federal Reserve Bank
of Chicago, Quaker Oats Company, Kraft Foods and several accounting and law firms.
In addition to exhibiting and selling fine prints, van Straaten Gallery staff provides
complete fine art consulting, framing, hanging, archival and appraisal services.
Mr. van Straaten is a former president of the Chicago Art Dealers Association and a
member of the International Fine Print Dealers Association. The Chicago gallery recently was
relocated to Steamboat Springs, Colorado,
where he and his wife Jan operate Riverhouse Editions, which publishes
etchings by major contemporary artists.
