Next week March 20th the London Original Print Fair opens in London and a week later on March 27th IFPDA Print Fair opens in New York. LOPF is celebrating its 40th Anniversary and this will be IFPDA’s 32nd edition.
London Original Print Fair 2025
Since its establishment in 1985, LOPF has championed the art of printmaking, evolving from an intimate gathering of 16 exhibitors into Europe’s largest works-on-paper fair. This year’s landmark edition will host over 40 leading international galleries, publishers, and studios, presenting a breathtaking array of works spanning six centuries, from revered old masters to cutting-edge contemporary talent. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore and collect original prints by legendary artists from the 16th to the 21st centuries, as well as the latest editions and special exclusive launches by artists such as Chris Levine, David Shrigley, Tom Hammick, Peter Blake, Vanessa Jackson and Beatriz Milhazes. LOPF’s legacy spans 34 years at the Royal Academy, followed by two years of online and gallery formats during COVID, before thriving for the past three years at Somerset House. Over the past four decades, 211 dealers, publishers, studios, and institutions have participated. As the second-largest category in global art sales, the prints and multiples market continues to flourish, with LOPF at its forefront as the premier destination for this vibrant and accessible medium.
“As we celebrate the 40th anniversary of the London Original Print Fair, it’s remarkable to reflect on how far we’ve come since that first event in 1985. What began as a small gathering of dealers hoping to share their love of prints with a new audience has grown into a vibrant, collaborative celebration of this extraordinary art form. The Fair has always been about connecting people—artists, collectors, exhibitors, and museums—and showcasing the unique synergy between artists and master printers. Seeing the smiles on exhibitors’ faces and the enthusiasm of visitors reminds me why we do this: to shine a spotlight on the timeless appeal of prints.”
Gordon Cooke, Chairman and Founder

This special presentation will greet visitors with two rooms where every element—from the floor to the plants, and furniture—is created from prints, collage, and cast pulp paper. The multi-layered installation evokes the feeling of walking into one of the layered collages for which Thomas is known.

said Jordan Schnitzer ARTnews Top 200 Collector and Founder of the Jordan Schnitzer Family Foundation, which has organized more than 180 exhibitions and loaned thousands of works to over 130 museums.
