London Original Print Week

1-8 May 2021

Prints have always been an integral part of our activities at Osborne Samuel gallery. Most of us at the gallery began our careers in the world of original prints and thus there has always been a passion for them at the gallery.

This online catalogue covers two fairs in May 2021; the London Original Print Fair that annually takes place at the Royal Academy of Arts this year becomes London Original Print Week from 1-8 May. Thirty-three dealers/publishers are showing at various gallery locations in and around London.  See www.londonoriginalprintfair.com for the latest updates.

The second fair is an online fair of the International Fine Print Dealers Association from 14-28 May. This fair usually takes place in New York each autumn in late October. Regrettably, both this and the London fair has been cancelled again this year.

We deal in original prints, predominantly British, and each work in this exhibition is an original work of art. The exhibition has been curated to show the diversity, originality and technical expertise evident in so much of 20th century printmaking.  We have laid out the catalogue in various sections to give an approximate chronological order to the development of printmaking in the 20th and 21st centuries. As always condition reports are available on request, and in many cases we have other prints by the artists included in the exhibition. Our website, www.osbornesamuel.com is always a good place to look.

We are now open again and look forward to welcoming you to the gallery where the prints will be on exhibition.  It’s not vital but it would help to let us know when you might want to visit as we are following all government advice to keep you and our staff safe and well!
