AIPAD welcomes four new members this fall: Foto Relevance (Houston, TX) and Galerie XII (Santa Monica, CA) join as Members, and Assembly (Houston, TX) and Momentum (Miami, FL) as Associate Members.
Exposure spoke to several private dealers, whose expertise and knowledge is invaluable to the field. For this issue, we spoke to four more longtime private dealers, who talked about how they got their start in the field, what they’re working on, and what they love about the medium.
AIPAD’s Photography Show will return to the Park Avenue Armory next spring, April 25-28, 2024. After successful fairs at Pier 94 and then at Center415, AIPAD will be bringing the 43rd edition of the fair back to the historic venue it occupied from 2006 to 2016.
Private photography dealers may operate under the radar compared to galleries with public exhibitions and openings, but their expertise and knowledge is invaluable to collectors and institutions. Exposure spoke to three longtime private dealers about how they got their start in the field, the photographers they’ve worked with, and some of the collections they’ve built.
From idealized dream spaces to images by an artist in exile, from photographs made by the sun to pictures made after the sun has set, AIPAD member galleries are showing a rich variety of photographs in the month of May.
A Letter from the Executive Director regarding the 2023 edition of The Photography Show, a welcome to AIPAD's new President, Martijn van Pieterson, and spring preview highlights.

April 27, 2022 at 3:00 pm ET
Based in Beirut, Myriam Boulos, (left) now a Magnum-nominee, has created a searing, diaristic body of work portraying her friends, family, and her city’s society with startling energy and intimacy. Her series, “What’s Ours,” featured in Aperture magazine’s spring issue titled “Celebrations” casts an unflinching eye on the revolution that began in Lebanon in 2019, with protests against corruption and government austerity, as well as the aftermath of the devastating port explosion in August 2020. Of her approach to photography, Boulos states: “It’s more of a need than a choice. I obsess about things and I don’t know how to deal with these obsessions in any other way but photography.” The talk will be introduced by Michael Famighetti, editor, Aperture
