AIPAD Photography Show Returns to Park Avenue Armory for 45th Edition
The 45th annual photography fair organized by the Association of International Photography Art Dealers (AIPAD) took place at New York's Park Avenue Armory from April 22 to 26, 2026. As the longest-running photography fair in the U.S., it showcased 77 exhibitors from various regions including North America, South America, Asia, Europe, and Australia. A significant emphasis was placed on Latin American photography, featuring Graciela Iturbide's works at Ruiz-Healy and a diverse collection of female Latin American artists at Throckmorton Fine Art, highlighted by a quickly sold portrait of Frida Kahlo by Lucienne Bloch. Noteworthy pieces included Edward Burtynsky's 'Vale Tailings' at Robert Koch Gallery and Sally Mann's 'Twelve' series at Jackson Fine Arts.
