Art on Paper revolves around one simple idea: paper is not a \"study,\" but a finished work. This is immediately evident in the mix of techniques that hang and stand side by side here-pencil, charcoal, ink, watercolor, gouache, collage and editions-from classic to super contemporary. The fair describes itself as a gallery fair where art on, with or of paper is shown and sold, with a selection of about 45 modern and contemporary galleries<\/strong> from the Netherlands and abroad.<\/h2>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The edition of February 12 to 15, 2026<\/strong> takes place in The Kromhout Hall<\/strong>. Thursday is the afternoon\/evening opening, then the program runs for three days during the day-precisely the kind of rhythm where you can either make a quick round, or go back twice because with paperwork you often don't see the details until the second look. Tickets and times are already live on the site, including prices and free admission for accompanied children under 12.<\/p>\n

A good detail that says something about quality: participation is by invitation only<\/strong> and exclusive to galleries. That makes it less \"market with everything\" and more \"curated selection,\" which you especially notice in how consistently the medium is treated throughout the fair: paper is not the side dish here, but the starring role.<\/p>\n

\n

On paper, you can see the hand of the creator faster - and that is precisely what makes this fair so addictive.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

For those familiar with previous editions, Art on Paper has previously used large, industrial-monumental venues such as the Gasholder and the Transformer House<\/strong> on Westergas (for example, in 2024). The move to The Kromhout Hall fits the same logic: lots of space, raw industrial scale, but with enough light and air to keep work on paper from drowning in \"exhibition crowds.\"<\/p>\n

What you gain here as a collector (or aspiring collector) is that paper is often just a little more accessible than large canvases or objects-unless it's less serious. You'll find large works here, as well as editions and signed, numbered prints. As a result, Art on Paper feels like a fair where you not only come to look, but can start or expand realistically, with work that you actually keep seeing at home rather than \"pretty at the fair.\"<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
