After eight years experience in the New York art world, Donald Taglialatella formed World House Gallery and World House Editions in the summer of 1998. From the fall of 1998 until December of 2002, World House Gallery actively worked with an eclectic group of emerging and mid-career artists and maintained an exhibition program which centered around making roving exhibitions several times a year in empty and disused gallery spaces throughout Chelsea, SoHo and the Meat Market in New York City. In the past we have worked with such artists as Richmond Burton, Jane Dickson, Judy Glantzman, Alanna O’Kelly, Anne McGuire, Tracey Snelling and Graciela Sacco and aside from the numerous one-person gallery and museum shows to their credit, these artists have been invited to participate in important group exhibitions as well as national and international biennials from the Whitney Museum to São Paulo; from Havana to Venice and even Documenta.

In January 2003, we ceased our exhibition program, instead having chosen to focus on the resale or secondary market side of the art world, by appointment only. World House Gallery handles the resale of high-quality modern and contemporary international paintings, sculpture, works on paper, photographs and original prints and multiples. We have fifteen years experience in the education, development and enhancement of important private and corporate collections in various mediums and artistic preferences. Our background in the development, promotion as well as the revival of contemporary artists' careers is also considerable. We have extensive international auction sales and purchasing experience and knowledge and can act as an agent in the purchase and/or deaccession of works in all mediums at public auction. Finally, we have significant experience in the dispersion and deaccession of various types of artworks from estates and can act as an agent in the sale of estate artworks privately as well at public auction.

In addition to our resale/secondary market activities, since 2000 we have maintained an active publishing program. World House Editions is a publisher and distributor of original prints, multiples and artist’s books by a wide array of international artists. Since 2003, we have been co-publishing print projects with our colleagues at Edition Copenhagen in Copenhagen, Denmark. In a few short years the World House Editions/Edition Copenhagen collaboration has garnered international recognition and acclaim. Our collaborative projects have been acquired numerous important private collections as well as The Museum of Modern Art, New York; The Louisiana Museum for Moderne Kunst, Humlebaek, Denmark; The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, Ohio; The Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, New York; The Microsoft Art Collection, Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, Washington; The Progressive Corporation Art Collection, Mayfield Village, Ohio; the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and The Cabinet des Estampes, Geneva, Switzerland. In addition, our collaboration has been profiled in a feature article in the September/October 2005 issue of the internationally acclaimed art magazine, Art On Paper.

In the past, World House Gallery, World House Editions and Donald Taglialatella have placed important works of art in such collections as: The Brooklyn Museum; The Bronx Museum of the Arts; The Museum of Modern Art, New York; The Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; The New York Public Library; The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; The Indianapolis Museum of Art; Ball State University Museum of Art, Muncie, Indiana; The Dennos Art Museum, Michigan; The Museum of Art, Ft. Lauderdale; The Ny Carlsberg Foundation, Copenhagen; Prudential Vector Securities, Deerfield, Illinois; Unibank, New York and Copenhagen, The Progressive Corporation, Mayfield Village, Ohio; The National Bank of Belgium; Dolce & Gabbana, Milan and New York; The Microsoft Art Collection, Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, Washington; as well as other national and international museums, institutions and collections.

Finally, World House Gallery offers appraisal services on a per piece or entire collection basis. As experts in the area of postwar contemporary art, and in particular, The Cobra group, we are frequently called upon to appraise works for private collectors, major corporations, the Art Dealers Association of America (ADAA) and such institutions as: The Brooklyn Museum; The Carnegie Museum, Pittsburgh; The Museum of Art, Ft. Lauderdale; The International Sculpture Center, Hamilton, New Jersey and The Albright-Knox Gallery in Buffalo.
