In the heart of London, where history and innovation converge, lies Somerset House, an iconic venue that has witnessed centuries of artistic evolution. This year, it played host to the prestigious London Original Print Fair (LOPF), a celebration of printmaking’s rich heritage and contemporary relevance. Among the bustling galleries and exquisite artworks, Cubist Cloud, an innovative company offering an online gallery management database, visited making connections with clients and forging new partnerships.

Founded in 1985, LOPF has been a beacon for art lovers and collectors, showcasing original prints spanning five centuries. From the Renaissance masters like Dürer and Rembrandt to modern-day visionaries such as David Hockney and Grayson Perry, the fair encapsulates the evolution of printmaking as an art form. With its relocation to Somerset House in 2021, LOPF entered a new era, embracing the historical significance of its surroundings while embracing the possibilities of the future.

With a focus on connecting with existing clients and understanding the needs of potential ones, Cubist Cloud representatives navigated through the labyrinthine corridors of Somerset House, amidst the vibrant tapestry of prints and the hum of enthusiastic conversations.

At the core of Cubist Cloud’s mission is the belief that technology can enhance every aspect of gallery management. Our online database tool streamlines your inventory management, effortlessly automates tasks, links to your website to seamlessly manage online sales and provides enhanced security and control of artworks. As we engaged with gallery staff at LOPF, they highlighted the myriad benefits of their system, from simplifying administrative tasks to maximizing the reach and impact of exhibitions.
