International Fine Print Dealers Association - IFPDA

The International Fine Print Dealers Association (IFPDA) is a non-profit organization of leading art dealers, galleries, and publishers in the field of fine prints who are committed to the highest standards of quality, ethics, and connoisseurship, and to promoting a greater appreciation of fine prints among collectors and the public.

To achieve its mission, the IFPDA supports a wide variety of activities that foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of fine prints. Each year, the organization sponsors the IFPDA Print Fair in New York City, the largest and most celebrated art fair dedicated to fine prints. Through its Grants and Programs committees, the IFPDA provides funding for exhibitions, scholarly publications and catalogues, and lectures and symposia relating to prints and printmaking from its origins to its contemporary practice. The Annual IFPDA Book Award honors excellence in recently published books or catalogues in the field of fine prints and encourages original research, scholarship and the discussion of new ideas. Members of the Association also provide expert assistance to law enforcement agencies in their investigations of fraudulent or stolen art works. View our Code of Ethics.

The paper/ink committee, PIC, is a new committee consisting of young dealers, art advisors, collectors, museum curators, and artists who are all print enthusiasts. PIC was founded in 2009 and works in conjunction with members of the IFPDA to introduce a new audience to prints.

The IFPDA is proud to be a member of CINOA: Confédération Internationale des Négociants en Oeuvres d'Art.
