With over 25 years of experience in the industry, gallery owner Laura Rathe started her career working as a private art dealer prior to establishing Laura Rathe Fine Art (LRFA) in 1998 in Houston, Texas. LRFA now operates out of two locations in Houston and a third gallery in Dallas on Dragon Street, in the city’s premier Design District. Since its inception, LRFA has established itself as a leading contemporary art venue, each year offering art of the highest quality and an exciting range of exhibitions and programming to its patrons in both cities. LRFA represents a dynamic
roster of established and mid-career contemporary artists who work in a variety of themes and media. Many of its artists have been acquired into world-renowned private, corporate and museum collec- tions. LRFA also participates in a variety of prominent art fairs, including CONTEXT Art Miami, Art Southampton, Art Wynwood, the Houston Fine Art Fair, Texas Contemporary and the Dallas Art Fair. LRFA is engaged in a number of collaborative and educational programs, including its recently established “Create, Curate, Collect” lecture series, which aims to enhance relationships between artists, collectors and galleries in the Dallas area and beyond.
