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, Terry Winters, Al Held 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, Lehman Brothers, Hallmark Cards, Citi Bank 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.
Although the Chicago gallery recently was relocated to Steamboat Springs, Colorado, it continues to serve its Chicago and national clientele. It now shares gallery space with Riverhouse Editions, the publishing company that van Straaten founded in 1988 in order to work directly with leading contemporary artists.
