Event description
The 33rd
London Original Print Fair runs at the Royal Academy of Arts from Thursday 3
May until Sunday 6 May 2018, and hosts 50 of the world's top international
specialist dealers, galleries and print publishers.
LOPF is celebrated for offering a huge range of works from rare old masters to
the very latest newly published prints by leading contemporary artists.
2018 sees a number of new exhibitors at London's favourite boutique art fair,
including Hanga Ten - Contemporary Japanese Prints and Greville Worthington
from London, as well as Moritaka from Japan. Among those returning to LOPF are
Galerie Boisserée from Cologne who bring with them a number of rare Picasso prints, coinciding with Tate
Modern's new exhibition. Barcelona's Polígrafa Obra Gràfica are showing a solo presentation
of prints by Miles Aldridge, and returning London dealer Emanuel von Baeyer
will be unveiling an important group of Italian old master prints from a private collection.
LOPF 2018 is
delighted to be working once again with Hallett Independent as partner for the Acquisitions Award, which gives a museum or gallery in the UK £8,000 to spend
on an original print from the Fair for their collection. Applications are
invited from museums, public galleries and print collections across the UK. The
award aims to highlight the importance of prints as collectable works in their
own right.
The 2018 Annual Printmaker's Talk will take place on the evening of Thursday 3
May, to coincide with the much-loved 'Young Collectors Evening'.
Opening times
