Running April 25–28, 2024, the Photography Show presented by the renowned Association of International Photography Art Dealers (AIPAD)—the oldest fair devoted exclusively to the medium of photography—will return to its historic home at New York’s Park Avenue Armory. Bringing together 77 international exhibitors, the fair offers visitors the opportunity to explore and discover the myriad facets of photography, both historic and contemporary.

The forthcoming edition of the event is marked by a surge in young galleries and first-time participants, including Marshall Gallery, Scottsdale; Olivier Waltman, Paris; and the Third Eye Gallery Aya, Osaka; , alongside returning exhibitors—such as Bruce Silverstein Gallery, New York; Catherine Couturier Gallery, Houston; and Galeria Vasari, Buenos Aires. Returning and new visitors can expect a comprehensive and dynamic range of photography will be presented; archival and vintage photography will be juxtaposed by the work of recent, experimental works, emerging photographers alongside canonic names from the history of the medium.

Included in this are AIPAD Talks, taking place over the course of the weekend days, is organized by Chair of the Education Committee Andra Russek and will offer attendees insight into forthcoming exhibitions both in New York as well as across the East Coast.
