The London Original Print Fair

The London Original Print Fair is the longest-running specialist print fair in the world and the longest-running art Fair in London. In 2011 the Fair will be celebrating its 26th anniversary at the Royal Academy of Arts, London. Background

The Fair was founded in 1985 by its Chairman, Gordon Cooke, a Director of The Fine Art Society, London, and a specialist in Modern British Prints. It has been organised since 1987 by its Director, Helen Rosslyn, previously a member of the Print department at Christies. The Fair covers all periods of printmaking from the early woodcuts of Dürer and his contemporaries to the graphic work of contemporary masters such as David Hockney, Peter Blake and Damien Hirst. The 2010 Print Fair was the largest yet, with over 10,000 people attending, 67 leading UK and international exhibitors and works ranging from Canaletto’s etchings to linocuts by Picasso.

2011’s Fair will take place from April 19th until April 21st, and will once again cover all movements in Western art. Special events for the 26th Fair will include printmaking lectures, guided tours of the Fair and printmaking workshops.
