Works on Paper, now in its 19th year, is the original “art on paper” fair. The show features almost eighty of the finest international exhibitors showing watercolors, fine prints, photography, drawings, posters, and illustrated books from old master to contemporary. Each year seasoned collectors and curators await Works on Paper as their chance to explore, admire, and purchase a wide range of works from expert dealers.
Roberta Smith of The New York Times noted, “As art fairs go, ‘Works on Paper’ must have one of the highest ratios of useful visual information to square footage.” Works on Paper offers a “mindboggling” range of prints and drawings from Rembrandt to Picasso to Warhol to ukiyo-e masters, as well as contemporary works,
photography, watercolors, and more.
Expect a diverse and exciting group of exhibitors.
New dealers include Alexander Gallery, Kraushaar Galleries,
and Michael Rosenfeld Gallery, all of New York; Acme
Fine Art (Boston) with Abstraction, American Surrealism
and Modernism; Sabine Vazieux (Paris) with works on
paper from 1890 to 1960 including pieces by Auguste
Chabaud and Aristide Maillol; Worthington Gallery (Chicago)

Szyk.

From 12:30-5:30pm, the symposium examines the dramatic shift in recent years as paper-based works have become dominant modes of expression in contemporary art practice on par with painting and sculpture. Curators from MoMA, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Morgan Library are among the panelists in this three-part discussion.
