London's Longest-Running Art Fair, Dedicated to Prints, Celebrates 40 Years
The London Original Print Fair, the British capital's longest-running art fair, celebrates its 40th anniversary this week with an array of works spanning from Old Masters to contemporary creations.
Running March 20-23 at Somerset House, this year's edition features more than 40 studios, dealers and publishers with displayed works including by the likes of Damien Hirst, Tom Hammick and Grayson Perry as well as emerging talent and up-and-coming names from around the world.
The fair, which launched in June 1985 with 16 exhibitors, has long offered fans the chance to view and buy prints, considered more affordable than paintings and sculptures.
"Prints have become much more widely trusted," director Helen Rosslyn told Reuters.
"I think people are realizing that print is not just a reproduction, it's something that's made in collaboration with the artist and a printer."

Thunderbolts' Kicks Off US, Canada Summer Box Office with $76 Million
Marvel movie "Thunderbolts" opened Hollywood's summer movie season with an estimated $76 million in US and Canadian ticket sales over its first three days, distributor Walt Disney said on Sunday. The returns were in line with pre-weekend forecasts, though below the $88.8 million opening of Marvel's "Captain America: Brave New World" in February, Reuters reported. "Thunderbolts" added $86.1 million in international markets for a global total of $162.1 million, Disney said in a statement. "Thunderbolts" stars Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan and David Harbour as anti-heroes who are forced to work together to fight a supervillain. It is the 36th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The movie business is still hovering below pre-pandemic levels, and a healthy summer is key to that effort. Hollywood brings in about 40% of the year's box office receipts during the summer season, which the industry measures from the first weekend in May through Labor Day, the first Monday in September.
