Art On Paper

Art on Paper returns to downtown Manhattan's Pier 36 this March 5 — 8, with ninety-five galleries featuring top modern and contemporary paper-based art. Art on Paper's medium-driven focus lends itself to significant projects – unique moments that have set the fair apart and established it as an important destination for the arts in New York City. Art on Paper demonstrates the diversity of its medium with signifiant projects exploring, expanding, and re-imaging what a work on paper can be.

Special Installations & Focus Sections

Art on Paper’s public projects will return in 2020 with large-scale installations that push the boundaries of work on paper. The FLATFILES focus section highlights independent print dealers and publishers from across the country.

Maser | Presented by Tandem Press

Postage/storage tubes are the building blocks for this installation. Maser will create a 3d immerse space for the attendees of the art fair with a variety of different sized tubes (that will have his artwork pattern applied to them). Whoever buys a work at the art fair will get their piece shipped to them within a tube that has come from the installation. This will give the installation another purpose and with all hope leave no trace. Everyone is accountable and a collective community is created. A numbering system will be in place to put each element in its right location, this numbering system can them be the number of the edition, just like a fine art limited art piece on paper.

Maser is an artist originally from Ireland, now living in the USA. As early as 1995 under the moniker ‘Maser’, he began painting graffiti on the streets of Dublin, where he soon earned the respect of other graffiti artists in Ireland and throughout Europe for his unique abstracted style. After studying Visual Communication at Art School in his home city, he went on to establish himself as one of Ireland’s leading visual artist working in the urban environment.
