AIPAD

AIPAD is the Association of International Photography Art Dealers, currently hosting the Photography Show 07. In its 27th year, the show includes more than 90 of the top dealers from around the world who specialize in fine art photography, featuring the earliest to the most contemporary images. Photos from many of the biggest names in photography can be found for sale: Steichen, Weston, Ansel Adams, Minor White, Margaret Bourke-White, André Kertesz, Brassai, Cartier-Bresson, Berenice Abbott, Salgado and hundreds of others. I was accompanied by an artist and photographer - we were impressed and inspired by the quality presented. The show is a rare opportunity to see such a breadth of work all at one time under one roof. The show is held in the 7th Regiment Armory on Park Avenue and 67th Street, a great historic fortress (occupying a full city block) and a great space for this type of event. The exhibit runs from April 12 through the 15th - there is still time to catch it. The $20 admission (which includes a 360 page color catalog) is well worth it ...
