London Original Print Fair

The 27th London Original Print Fair comes to town once more in spring 2012 promising art fans the chance to get hold of some original works for their collection or home. With prices starting from as little as £200.00, there is plenty of opportunity for you to come home with a print created by well known artist.

London Original Print Fair
Having started in 1985, and run consecutively for 26 years at the Royal Academy, the London Original Print Fair is a well known and well loved event in the arts calendar. This year Gavin Turk is presenting a print-making lecture on the opening day of the fair for the very first time. With 50 international dealers bringing their wares to the fair the 2011 event is sure to be the best one so far, meaning you can be certain that something on show that catches your eye.

Affordable art prints
Even with events like the Affordable Art Fair and the Frieze Art Fair, the prices for original paintings can still sometimes mean that you have to take out a second mortgage to be able to afford them. At the London Original Print Fair, you can get your hands on something that is just as original and rare, but without the hefty price tag.

Mix it up
A mixture of modern, contemporary and old prints await you at the fair and if you are on the lookout for works by a particular artist, then there are plenty of well informed dealers on hand to help you locate that David Hockney, or even a Damien Hirst. And if even the 20th century is too modern for you, you may even find works by expert engraver Albrecht Durer or his contemporaries from the 15th or 16th century on display at the London Original Print Fair.

Past masters
For those that know their printing onions, along with the likes of Durer, more great artist's prints you can pick up at the fair include Canaletto, Tiepolo, Goya, Much, Whistler, Sickert, Toulouse Lautrec and Warhol. But even if you simply fancy something striking to hang over your fireplace or on the bedroom wall, the London Original Print Fair is the place to go.

The London Original Print Fair takes place from Thursday 19th April - Sunday 22nd April 2012 at Royal Academy, with late opening until 8pm on Thursday and Friday. Tickets are £8.00 or £4.00 for concessions, and include a copy of the catalogue.
