"Works on Paper" Art Fair
Park Avenue Armory
This event has ended.
In 1988, art and antiques fair producer Sanford Smith noticed a trend, "Almost every gallery I visited had a closet full of works on paper; drawings, prints, watercolors…Works that could not compete with more expensive artworks for wall space."
Inspired by this often overlooked art, Smith invited a selection of the finest international dealers to open their closets at Works on Paper--giving art on paper the spotlight for a weekend at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City. When it began, no other show in the world covered such a range of material, and 21 years later, Works on Paper is still the finest show of its kind.
A stellar roster of galleries from around the world will bring together their finest drawings, prints, watercolors, photography, architectural renderings, illustrated books, and posters for exhibition and sale. Reflecting the show's own evolution and the development of the art on paper market over the years, the material will span from old master to contemporary works.
