longest-running specialist art fair, The London Original Print Fair will return to the prestigious rooms of the Royal Academy of Arts for its thirty-fourth edition.

THE WORLD’S

Fifty leading galleries, dealers and studios from around the world will offer prints from a diverse range of media; from traditional methods such as etchings and engravings to more experimental contemporary processes.

Modern and contemporary works will heavily outnumber older art, but there will, nevertheless, be a fine array of old-master and nineteenthcentury prints by such artists as Francisco Goya (C.G. Boerner) and James Abbott McNeill Whistler (Elizabeth Harvey-Lee).

Sheets from modern masters such as Joan Miró, Pablo Picasso and Andy Warhol will be in plentiful supply and collectors seeking newly published works will find many exciting recent editions. Bernard Jacobson will mark his fiftieth year as a dealer by showing Prints I wish I had published, which will comprise fine examples from many historic periods, including works by Albrecht Dürer, Edward Ruscha and David Hockney.

2019 will see the launch of the ‘Jerwood Printmaking Today Prize’, a new award for an emerging printmaker under the age of thirty-five (nominations will be made by the exhibitors). ‘The Hallett Independent Acquisitions Award, will once more make available £8,000 for a public gallery to spend on one or more prints at the fair.
