World House Profile
After eight years in the international art world, Donald Taglialatella launched World House Editions in the summer of 1998. World House Editions is a publisher of limited edition prints, portfolios, multiple objects, photographs and video works by an eclectic group of international artists. We collaborate closely with the artists we publish and work with a select group of contract print workshops and fabricators in the U.S. and Europe. Based in a two-storey converted carriage house in the small town of Middlebury, Connecticut, we are open by appointment only. We are a member of the International Fine Print Dealers Association (IFPDA) and the Confédération Internationale des Négociants en Oeuvres d'Art (CINOA) in good standing.
