The AIPAD Photography Show at the Park Avenue Armory

THE AIPAD PHOTOGRAPHY SHOW NEW YORK
APRIL 4 – 7, 2013
PARK AVENUE ARMORY

The AIPAD Photography Show is one of the world’s most important annual photography events, presented by The Association of International Photography Art Dealers (AIPAD). The fair is the longest-running and foremost exhibition of fine art photography. This year, my expectations for this exhibition are running high, and I’m particularly looking forward to attending the show, and getting acquainted with more than 80 of the world’s leading fine art photography galleries that will present a wide range of museum-quality work including contemporary, modern, and 19th-century photographs, as well as photo-based art, video, and new media. The 33rd edition of the show will commence with an opening night gala on April 3, 2013, to benefit inMotion, which provides free legal services to low-income women.

“AIPAD continues to be at the forefront of the photography market,” noted Catherine Edelman, President, AIPAD, and Director, Catherine Edelman Gallery. “Known for their scholarship and expertise, AIPAD galleries are shining light on extraordinary photographs by modern masters and emerging artists, images made in the past year by some of the most important artists working today, as well as relatively unknown work that is ripe for public exhibition. New and established photography collectors are anticipating another extraordinary exhibition.”
