Pressed to impress.
The London Original Print Fair returns to Somerset House next week, bringing more than 50 exhibitors into one of London’s grandest cultural settings. Founded in 1985, the fair has long made the case for printmaking as far more than an entry point to collecting. Across five centuries, the medium has carried experiment, politics, reproduction, intimacy and invention.
This year’s edition has particular fizz. Alongside returning and new exhibitors, LOPF 2026 includes a rare chance to see Unlimited, the series of works created in the 1960s by industrialist and philanthropist Jeremy Fry in collaboration with contemporary artists. The fair will also mark the launch of the catalogue raisonné of prints by Ken Kiff, presented with an exhibition of key works by first-time exhibitors Hales.
From old masters to modern icons, the appeal of the medium lies in its range. Printmaking can be precise, democratic, radical, seductive and surprisingly affordable. For seasoned collectors and the print-curious alike, this is the place to make an impression.
