The experts have made their choices for June 2026.
Not an algorithm. Not a trend report. The real thing.
The prints on this page were chosen by galleries and studios who have spent careers developing one of the rarest skills in the art world: knowing what’s worth your attention. They’ve seen more work than most collectors will see in a lifetime. They’ve watched the market move, watched reputations build, watched certain prints become the ones everyone wishes they’d bought earlier.
Their selections this month aren’t safe choices or crowd-pleasers. They’re convictions. Works that a knowledgeable, passionate expert looked at and thought: this one matters.
That’s the best starting point for any collection.

Voilier VI
Jean Arp
The founding father of biomorphic abstraction at full confidence – forms that hover between the organic and the imagined, alive with quiet mystery.

A patient, luminous study of light at the moment it softens and loses its certainty – a print that rewards the collector who takes time to really look.
LeRoy Neiman Center for Print Studies

A meditative portrait suspended between presence and absence, carrying something undelivered – the kind of work that changes depending on where you stand in the room.
Sylvan Cole Gallery
Untitled
Jean Dubuffet
The father of art brut making his lifelong argument against polish with total conviction – raw, strange, and entirely on its own terms.
Michael Lisi/Contemporary Art

Dine’s most enduring symbol – the robe as costume, shelter, and self-portrait – rendered in commanding colour by one of the great printmakers of his generation.

Personage
Sheree Hovsepian
Photography, collage and mark-making layered into something that feels like recovered memory – an artist working at genuine originality, worth discovering now.
Vermillion Editions

Language arrives with total visual authority and then refuses to explain itself – Ruscha doing what only Ruscha can, making a single word change every room it enters.
Susan Sheehan Gallery
Boiling Blood, Fly
Ed Ruscha
Visceral heat and dark humour delivered with the calm of a master – Ruscha’s command of atmosphere and unease at its most controlled and most compelling.
Jan Johnson Old Master Modern Prints
Branches
Lionel LeMoine Fitzgerald
An act of sustained attention that turns the ordinary Canadian landscape into something contemplative and eternal – a print to live with rather than simply hang.

Urban Alphabet
Sandow Birk
Sharp, funny, and quietly profound – Birk reads the city as a language and finds twenty-six ways it talks back.
Christopher-Clark Fine Art
To Hit Without Hurting III
Joan Miro
Late Miró at full tilt – saturated, free, and joyfully strange, a master using a lifetime’s visual language purely for the pleasure of it.

James Tissot
A figure lost in thought, observed with devastating precision – Victorian social life at its most seductive, with a novel’s worth of unspoken feeling in a single composition.

Mathematical logic given hauntingly beautiful visible form – a print that will make anyone who sees it rethink the relationship between reason and wonder.

Hypnotic, rhythmic and rigorously made – Ferguson’s concentric forms in graphite have the quiet authority of something that took both enormous patience and complete conviction.
ebo Gallery
Window w/vase & trees
Robert Kipniss
Kipniss turns the domestic interior into something atmospheric and melancholic – a window, bare branches, soft light, and the feeling that something important has just left the room.
GallArt
Balloon Dog (Red)
Jeff Koons
The most recognisable sculpture of the last thirty years rendered in blazing red – Koons at his most seductive, asking whether something can be simultaneously hollow and completely irresistible.
Eric Gero Editions
St. Cado Giving the Devil a Cat in Exchange for the Construction of a Bridge
Matt Mullican
An obsessive, system-building artist presents the world as archive – this dense, cataloguing work is Mullican’s visual cosmology in miniature, strange and entirely his own.
PS Marlowe
Untitled
Linn Meyers
Thousands of hand-drawn marks accumulating into something that feels both mathematically precise and deeply human – a print that rewards the kind of close attention its making demanded.
Jonathan Novak Contemporary Art
Pink Venus, Sydney Close
Jim Dine
Dine claims the Venus de Milo as his own – dragging antiquity into hot pink and bold gestural mark-making with the confidence of someone who knows exactly what he’s doing.
Editions Graphiques
Gulliver
Roland Topor
Wickedly surreal and technically exquisite, Topor renders Swift’s satirical giant with the precision of an engraver and the dark imagination of someone who never quite trusted the world.
VanDeb Editions
Daphne Transformed
Audrey Flack
hotorealism pushed into something mythic and ecstatic – Flack transforms the classical subject into a blaze of colour and goddess-energy that stops the eye cold.
Krakow Witkin Gallery
Untitled
Tara Donovan
A mesmerising web of fracture and geometry that proves Donovan can find the infinite and the structural in the smallest, most everyday gestures.
Leslie Sacks Gallery
Rooster, from The Physiology of Taste
Wayne Thiebaud
Thiebaud brings the same tender, observational warmth to this strutting bird that he gives to his famous pastries – ordinary life made luminous through the sheer pleasure of looking.

Too Much Pain
Face Oka
Bold, graphic and quietly devastating – Face Oka wraps genuine emotional weight inside a visual language borrowed from the playful iconography of contemporary Asian pop culture.
InvesArt Gallery
Woody Bay, H13-8
Damien Hirst
A riot of colour that looks like chaos until you slow down and feel the painterly intelligence underneath – Hirst at his most gestural and least cynical.
Vogtle Contemporary
Dans le milieu
Antonio Saura
Saura’s furious, teeming forms collide and multiply across the surface like something between a carnival and a catastrophe – wild energy held together by ferocious compositional instinct.
Wetpaint Gallery
Lady Hare Holding Dog
Sophie Ryder
Ryder’s iconic hare-woman stands in quiet dignity, tender and strange at once – a mythological figure that feels more emotionally true than most straightforwardly human ones.
Galerie Raphael
Blue Poppies, Aug 17, 2022
Donald Sultan
Sultan’s monumental poppies reduce nature to its most primal geometry – that electric cerulean field cut through with black voids that feel less like flowers than forces.
GATE44
Untitled
Pauline D’Andigné
A tangle of calligraphic marks in mint, ochre, and earth hovers over a cool ground, conjuring the nervous energy of a city seen from above or a mind in full flight.
peacock: a workshop for art
Picasso 347 Suite Homage – Nimble Nudes
Ralph Steadman
Steadman pays tribute to Picasso’s late erotic drawings with his trademark ink-splattered wit, the figures tumbling across graph paper as if even the grid can barely contain them.
Emanuel von Baeyer – Cabinet
Christ. Self-portrait of the artist
Louis Legrand
A deeply unsettling act of devotional self-mythology, Legrand’s brooding mezzotint merges his own face with the crown of thorns in a work that sits somewhere between faith, vanity, and despair.
D&S Fine Art Editions
Big Time!
Kate McCrickard
A fever-dream banquet straight out of Ensor and Goya, this teeming lithograph packs its inky darkness with grotesque revellers locked in some unholy celebration – flesh, skulls, and ecstasy all pressed together until pleasure and dread become indistinguishable.
Sims Reed Gallery
Girl Holding Her Foot
Lucian Freud
With his characteristic etched scrutiny, Freud renders this figure not as an idealised nude but as a wholly inhabited body – every crosshatched shadow insisting on the weight, warmth, and unsentimental reality of flesh.
