NYC Print Week and The IFPDA Print Fair
We just returned from New York City and the amazing 2026 IFPDA Print Fair. In honor of the long-running fair’s importance and stature among the print cogniscenti, New York City designates the week of the fair as Print Week. The international array of exhibitors, the diversity and quality of prints and drawings on display- from ancient to contemporary- and the eager crowds of collectors again demonstrated that the annual IFPDA fair is the largest and most important art fair for prints globally. Manneken Press’s booth showcased our newest publications alongside a special focus on copperplate photogravures.
The Brooklyn Fine Art Print Fair, in its second iteration at Powerhouse Arts, also took place during print week. The fair offered print enthusiasts who ventured to the wilds of Gowanus a distinctive and hip alternative to the IFPDA fair.

Chicago Gallery News Article Focuses on the Print Market
The Chicago Gallery News Spring/Summer 2026 issue includes a timely article about prints, the print market, and art fairs. With input from Chicago and Illinois-based print publishers (including Manneken Press), workshops and galleries, the article touches on the current state of the print market and changes that affect it, These include recent choices by Frieze, the new owner of Expo Chicago, to discontinue the Edition section of the fair, which supported print dealers, and the tensions arising from their decision to schedule EXPO 2026 with dates that overlap with the New York print fair sates.
