London Original Print Fair (LOPF) announces the exhibitors and highlights from its 39th edition. Founded in 1985, LOPF is the UK capital’s longest running art fair, championing the art of original printmaking in all of its forms. With over forty exhibitors, including top international dealers, publishers and studios, visitors will be able to immerse themselves in over six centuries of printmaking, exploring and collecting works by the world’s greatest masters, alongside new pieces by rising talent, hot off the press. There will be something for everyone, including exciting new launches, special exhibitions, inspiring talks and live demonstrations.

LOPF pays homage to the late Joe Tilson (1928-2023), a pioneer of the British Pop Art Movement. Joe Tilson was an early experimenter with printmaking in the 1960s, creating works that blurred the boundaries between two-and three-dimensional space, featuring additional sculptural or painted elements to make unique pieces from editioned series. The artist was a long-time exhibiting artist and supporter of LOPF, and this year’s tribute presentation by Cristea Roberts captures the artist's enduring legacy and passion for Venice with the display of one of his final works, 'The Stones of Venice, Il campanile di San Francesco della Vigna Diptych' (2023).
LOPF has also invited Norman Ackroyd, one of Britain’s most celebrated contemporary printmakers, to curate a special exhibition at the fair. It will feature a selection of Ackroyd’s own works, from his earliest prints to his latest editions.
