The acclaimed international art fair, long a meeting place for knowledgeable curators and connoisseurs, blossoms this year with more new editions than ever and a stunning array of old master, modern and contemporary works that are among the highest achievements in this art form. While rare impressions from artists such as Rembrandt, Cassatt, Picasso, and Lichtenstein will command five and six figure prices, there will be a multitude of choices in the affordable range for collectors seeking blue chip names and newly emergent artists.

The Fair will open with a Preview Party on Wednesday, October 31 to benefit the Department of Prints and Illustrated Books of The Museum of Modern Art. This year’s benefit print, a striking color screenprint, has been created by artist Ryan McGinniss (subject to limited availability). Tickets are required for this event and can be purchased online at http://www.moma.org/events/special.

Exhibitors at the Fair are all members of the International Fine Print Dealers Association, an organization of prestigious galleries, contemporary print publishers, and distinguished private dealers united by their expertise in this medium. This year’s Fair will feature 89 exhibitors in various specialties.

The juxtaposition of many periods and movements throughout the Fair illustrates the enduring commitment of artists to printmaking as part of their artistic practice. Exhibitors at the Fair also include the IFPDA’s contemporary print publishers who work with internationally renowned artists to produce ambitious new projects. These new projects are often astonishingly complex and show how contemporary artists are pushing the boundaries of the medium with new and innovative methods. This year, collectors will have a first look at new prints by Polly Apfelbaum, David Bates, Mel Bochner, Claudio Bravo, John Buck, Francesco Clemente, Chuck Close, Richard Estes, Pia Fries, Don Ed Hardy, Yvonne Jacquette, Chris Johanson, Robert Kushner, Bruce Nauman, Ana Maria Pacheco, Marcus Rees Roberts, Ed Ruscha, Soledad Salome, Richard Serra, Donald Sultan, and Betty Woodman, among others.
