The London Print Fair takes place at the Royal Academy in London every year and is always worth a visit for either buying or browsing. Here are a few of the pieces that stood out for me this time.
If you’re over 50 years old this may remind you of your youth: “Unknown Pleasures” a sensual print by Peter Saville seen on the Paul Stolper stand.
Pratt Contemporary showed these Alison Lambert monotypes. When looking at her portraits it’s easy to forget that they are not of a particular person.
Alan Cristea showed a series of polymer photogravure etchings by Cornelia Parker, the glass imagery flat reminding me of her steamrollered silverware pieces
Dublin gallery Stoney Road Press had a huge Donald Teskey print as the centrepiece of their display; so heavily textured and painterly it did make me want to see his painting.
This intaglio print by sculptor Ellis O’Connell on the same stand from an MRI scan intrigued me as it’s like a cyanotype of a piece of coral.
