London Original Print Fair | Booth S10: Ken Kiff
Booth S10
14 – 17 May 2026
Somerset House, Strand, London
Hales is delighted to exhibit a solo presentation of prints by major British artist, Ken Kiff (b. 1935, Dagenham, Essex – d. 2001, London, UK). Spanning forty years of printmaking, the presentation highlights key woodcuts, etchings, lithographs and large-scale monotypes. Kiff made prints throughout his career and his range of media expanded to include almost every printmaking technique.
Kiff has described his attitude to printmaking as: "Respect for the medium, I suppose that's the obvious starting-point...It does feel, in stroking a stone with litho-pencil, or cutting into copper or wood, as though you're listening to what the wood, or copper or stone is saying; it may sound fanciful, but I think printers do tend to feel that. That is a kind of deep response to printmaking."
The presentation comes ahead of Thames & Hudson publishing Ken Kiff: The Complete Prints, the first survey of Kiff’s prints.
