Overview:
The IFPDA Print Fair returns to the historic Park Avenue Armory as the world's preeminent fair for prints and editions. Established in 1987, this vetted event brings together international dealers and galleries to showcase exceptional works spanning from old master prints to contemporary editions. Beyond the main fair, the 2026 edition features an extraordinary lineup of satellite programming at NYC’s top institutions, including The Met, The Frick, and Hauser & Wirth.
Key Takeaways:
World-Class Selection: Access to a globally vetted collection of prints, drawings, and editions.
Institutional Access: Exclusive curator-led tours at The Drawing Center, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and The Hispanic Society.
Philanthropic Impact: Ticket sales directly benefit the IFPDA Foundation’s grantmaking and educational programs.
Collectors Coffee: Enjoy complimentary espresso and pastries on Sunday morning at the Armory.
An Insider’s Tip:
The "Collectors Coffee" on Sunday morning is the perfect time to browse the aisles in a more relaxed atmosphere before the final afternoon rush. It’s a great opportunity to have deeper conversations with dealers while enjoying fresh pastries.
A Note for Our Inner Circle:
The private satellite events—like the Goya Center tour at The Hispanic Society or the wine reception at Hauser & Wirth—are high-demand and offer a much more intimate look at the print world than the main hall. Check the IFPDA website early to secure your spot for these specific tours.
Who You May Spot: Museum curators from the world’s leading institutions, serious private collectors, interior designers seeking rare editions, and art aficionados appreciating the meticulous craft of printmaking.
