AIPAD Attraction
Come April, photography blossoms in New York City like buds on the trees. For those who like a little competitive action, Christie's, Phillips de Pury and Sotheby's all hold their big photography auctions. For a more relaxed experience, it's off to the annual AIPAD Photography Show, Apr. 10-13, 2008, at the New York Armory on Park Avenue. Sponsored by the Association of International Photography Art Dealers, the show, now in its 28th edition, presents more than 75 dealers from the U.S., Canada, Europe and Japan.

Art in Review: THE AIPAD PHOTOGRAPHY SHOW NEW YORK
If you are a traditionally minded photography collector, you should spend this weekend at the Aipad Show, the annual fair by and for members of the Association of International Photography Art Dealers. With more than 75 dealers from around the world, this elegant expo presents thousands of pictures representing nearly the full range of the history of photography. At the early end there are mysteriously spectral mid-19th-century prints at Hans P. Kraus Jr. and Galerie Daniel Blau. Many galleries are showing works by canonical 20th-century figures like Edward Weston, Walker Evans and Diane Arbus.

Breaking Out at the AIPAD Photography Show
There was "great energy" at last night's sold-out gala preview for this year's AIPAD Photography Show, according to the three ladies manning Pace/MacGill's booth today, and they'd be the ones to know. The 57th Street gallery boasts one of the best locations at the fair (it's the first booth you'll see), which they've filled with a selection of images by the late MoMA curator John Szarkowski as well as a few other vintage treasures.

AIPAD Photography Show Preview
Even though it's only been a couple of weeks since the Armory Show hitched up its wagons and left New York City, there's a real sense of anticipation about the AIPAD Photography Show happening this week. Partly this is due to New Yorkers' seemingly insatiable appetite for art fairs, but it's also because – despite the burgeoning presence of photographic work in contemporary art practice – the show's concentration on photography, both historical and contemporary, gives it a unique flavor.

Review: Keeping His Eye on the Horizon (Line) at Yossi Milo Gallery
The soft-colored photographs of Sze Tsung Leong capture contrasting landscapes: the verdant green of Germany; the mirage of shimmering towers in Dubai; the urban geometry of Amman, Jordan; the red tiles roofs of Italy. But always the eye is drawn to the distinct line where sky meets earth.

Review: Michael Kenna at Robert Mann Gallery
In this recent body of work, photographer Michael Kenna takes on New York City at its most remote and dazzling. These black-and-white toned silver prints present an almost otherworldly metropolis, emptied of humans and therefore of some its more unsavory aspects.

Review: Amy Stein in Los Angeles, at Paul Kopeikin Gallery
New York–based photographer Amy Stein has enjoyed a glittering career since completing her MFA at the School of Visual Arts in 2006. She appeared in a number of group shows immediately after graduating, won the 2006 Saatchi Gallery/Guardian Prize, has been named one of the world's top 15 emerging photographers by American Photo magazine, and won the Critical Mass Book Award. Now, Paul Kopeikin Gallery in Los Angeles is hosting Stein's first solo show, "Domesticated," which runs through April 26.

Review: Mark Riboud at Howard Greenberg Gallery
Only Paris can compete with New York as a center for photography. In the middle years of the 20th century, many photographers came to Paris from abroad – Man Ray, Brassai, Lee Miller, Robert Capa - but a remarkable cohort of native Frenchmen added to a tradition that went back to Louis Daguerre's discovery of photography in 1839.

Review: Tsuchida's Camera Changes its Focus at Michael Dawson Gallery
In spite of Japan's long and rich photographic history, barely a handful of the country's practitioners are widely known in the U.S.: Eikoh Hosoe, Shomei Tomatsu, Daido Moriyama, Hiroshi Sugimoto and perhaps a few more. The Michael Dawson Gallery introduces another, Hiromi Tsuchida. Tsuchida (b. 1939) has chronicled Japanese culture through numerous projects, focusing on gay men, identical twins, the survivors and landscape of Hiroshima, traditional costumes and people at parties.

Review: Midcentury Experimental Photos at 'Texas Bauhaus' at PDNB
Ten years ago, Burt Finger, the owner of Photographs Do Not Bend Gallery, received a phone call from a woman who invited him over to see her mother's photographs. Art dealers often receive such calls, and the prospects are not often very promising. But when Mr. Finger arrived at the woman's home, he found the walls filled with remarkable abstract photographs taken mostly in the 1950s.

Review: Bertien Van Manen at Yancey Richardson : A Hundred Summers, A Hundred Winters
Traveling through the former Soviet Union between 1990 and 1994, the Dutch photographer Bertien van Manen used an automatic camera to snap pictures of people in and around their homes. The photographs were collected in a book of the same title as this show (now out of print), but they were never exhibited in New York. Viewed today, her portrait of a society in transition is a welcome counterpoint to the oligarch-dominated public image of the New Russia.

Review: Bertien Van Manen at Yancey Richardson : From the Soviet Fray
How depressing. "A Hundred Summers, A Hundred Winters," the exhibition of Bertien van Manen's photographs at the Yancey Richardson Gallery, portrays life in the territories of the former Soviet Union. Ms. Manen shoots in color, in contrast to Jason Eskenazi, whose "Wonderland: A Fairytale of the Soviet Monolith," seen last year, covered much the same material in black-and-white, but both bodies of work expose the awfulness of three-quarters of a century under Communist rule: Every physical object is worn, and the people — not all, but most — appear spiritually depleted. Mind you, it is the subject matter that is depressing; the photographs are exemplary.

Review: Pieter Hugo's The Hyena and Other Men at Yossi Milo Gallery
When I came across, in a recent art magazine, Pieter Hugo's photograph of a muscular African man in a tank top and a raggedy skirt of cloth and leather holding a muzzled hyena by a heavy chain, I thought it had to be a digitally synthesized image. It's not. It's from a series of portraits the Johannesburg-based Mr. Hugo made while traveling in Nigeria with a group of entertainers and animal handlers known as the Hyena Men.

Review: Kenro Izu at Rubin Museum of Art and Howard Greenberg Gallery
"Traveling many years, I have not yet seen a place as peaceful as Bhutan, or a place affecting such peacefulness within myself," the photographer Kenro Izu writes. "If there is a place indeed named Utopia, this place may come the closest to it." Mr. Izu has been taking photographs of sacred places since the late 1970s, but Bhutan, a Buddhist country of about 2.3 million people nestled in the Himalayas, has become his personal Shangri-La.

Review: Untitled: Jill Greenberg at Fahey/Klein
Art thrives on contrast, as the old saw goes, which gives it tension and momentum. With that in mind, photographer Jill Greenberg couldn't have picked a better subject: bears.

Review: Chip Hooper at Joseph Bellows
Beginning in 2003, Chip Hooper spent three years in and near New Zealand, making pristine black-and-white seascapes with a large-format camera. The photographs shown here were transporting; the viewer could almost hear the distant sound of the Tasman Sea and sense how the water at certain spots wavers like a shifting mirror.

Review: Czech Vision at Howard Greenberg Gallery
"Czech Vision" at the Howard Greenberg Gallery pursues one of the many leads tossed out by "Foto: Modernity in Central Europe, 1918-1945," the revelatory overview of interwar photography on view at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. The photographers working in Czechoslovakia are especially tantalizing at the museum. At Greenberg, with 63 early prints by 21 of them, they seem to form a nearly complete microcosm of modernity.

Review: Sex in the Park, and Its Sneaky Spectators at Yossi Milo Gallery
Why are the Japanese couples in Kohei Yoshiyuki's photographs having sex outdoors? Was 1970s Tokyo so crowded, its apartments so small, that they were forced to seek privacy in public parks at night? And what about those peeping toms? Are the couples as oblivious as they seem to the gawkers trespassing on their nocturnal intimacy?

Review of Developing Greatness: The Origins of American Photography,
1839 -1885
In late 2005, Hallmark Cards donated its remarkable, choice, and extensive collection of photographs (some 6,500 in all) to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City. With the opening of the new Bloch wing on June 9th, and Keith F. Davis's formidable show "Developing Greatness: The Origins of American Photography, 1839 -1885," the geography of photographic collections has been redrawn. Kansas City is no longer a "fly-over" city for students and lovers of photography. In fact, if you're interested in understanding the origins of photography, or American art history, "Developing Greatness" is a "must see" show.
