NEW YORK.- 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.
