Art on Paper Amsterdam

Each year, Onderneming & Kunst organizes the premier fair for art on paper. In 2025, the fair took place at a new location: De Kromhouthal, situated along the IJ. More than 40 galleries from the Netherlands and abroad showcased modern and contemporary art made from, with, or on paper.

Paper is naturally delicate, yet it is also an expressive and experimental material. It plays an essential role in every artist’s studio, where sketches and drawings on paper often mark the beginning of the creative process. Whether it is detailed pencil drawings, vibrant screen prints, or fragile collages, the galleries at Art on Paper Amsterdam highlight the versatility and uniqueness of this medium. Paper serves not only as a carrier of ideas but also as an artistic material in its own right.

In addition to its distinctive and diverse character, art made from, with, or on paper is often accessible in both size and price. This makes it appealing to both first-time art buyers and seasoned collectors.

One of the pillars of the event was the important role of the gallery in the purchase of an artwork. For example, a good gallery sifts the large selection for its visitors and customers and only shows what it considers valuable, fascinating and beautiful. In many cases, a gallery owner will share the story behind the artwork to the interested visitor, whose appreciation for the artwork will be even greater.

Its diverse character provided visiters to the Open Art Fair an excellent opportunity to become acquinted with many art forms and to be introduced to a large number of galleries, allowing them to make a well-considered choice for a work of art that appealed to them most.
