Hauser & Wirth returns to London Original Print Fair for the 40th anniversary with an exceptional selection of works reflecting the gallery’s commitment to prints and editions. Featuring works by both contemporary and modern artists from the gallery’s roster, the booth highlights the importance of printmaking to the artists’ multifaceted practices and celebrates the collaborations between artists and master printers. The fair presentation complements the gallery’s ongoing work with printmaking, which is headquartered in a dedicated Editions space on 18th Street in New York.
Hauser & Wirth @ LOPF 2025: New releases and contemporary highlights
US artist Rashid Johnson debuts ‘Untitled (Surrender)’ (2023), a large silk screenprint which has been newly released by Hauser & Wirth and Brand X Editions. Part of the artist’s Surrender series, the large print features ghostly white faces which trace the development of his renowned Anxious Men series. The presentation also brings to London for the first time a selection of Henry Taylor’s etchings, first shown at the gallery’s editions space in New York earlier this year, including the self-portrait ‘Fade to Black, I Did Not Pay the Electric Bill’ and still life ‘I Love Looking at You’ (2024).

Other major highlights include William Kentridge’s lithograph on handmade Korean paper ‘I Look In The Mirror, I Know What I Need’ (2024), featuring iconic motifs from the artist’s practice, such as the coffee pot. London-based artist Thomas J Price also debuts ‘Rood Boy (Untitled 2)’ (2024), which revisits an earlier print made in 2019 using 24ct gold leaf of a fictional character whose unflinching gaze meets directly with the viewer’s. Also based in London, artist Sonia Boyce’s ‘She is Benevolent’ (2024) takes inspiration from her latest video work ‘Benevolence’, a project for Palazzo della Ragione in Italy which examines traditional Italian folksongs as a powerful form of social commentary.
The booth also features recent prints by contemporary artists, including a delicate copperplate etching by London-based artist Anj Smith from 2022 titled ‘Misleading, Like Lace,’ a selection of hardground etchings from George Condo and ‘Bar,’ a nine-colour lithograph print by Nicole Eisenman from 2012 made with Jungle Press Editions.

Complementing the gallery’s contemporary offering, the booth highlights historic works by modern masters. Philip Guston’s ‘Rug’ (1980) depicts the groundbreaking figurative style which defines the artist’s late works and the recurring symbolic motif of shoes. The booth also includes a selection of prints by Takesada Matsutani from the 1960s – 1970s—during which time he worked at Atelier 17 in Paris, Stanley William Hayter’s printmaking studio. Additional 20th-century highlights include prints by Dieter Roth, Günther Förg and Eduardo Chillida.
