One of the most important international photography events, the AIPAD Photography Show New York, will be presented by the Association of International Photography Art Dealers (AIPAD) from March 18-21, 2010, although a gala preview on March 17th will give an earlier sneek peek.

More than 75 of the world's leading fine art photography galleries will present a wide range of museum-quality work including contemporary, modern and 19th-century photographs, as well as photo-based art, video and new media, at the Park Avenue Armory at 67th St. in New York City.

The 30th edition of the AIPAD Photography Show New York will kick off early with a Gala Preview on March 17 to benefit the John Szarkowski Fund, an endowment for photography acquisitions at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. The AIPAD Photography Show New York is the longest running and foremost exhibition of fine art photography.

A representative from the Office of the Mayor of New York City will help kick off the Gala Benefit Preview, and Mayor Michael Bloomberg has declared March 14-21 “Photo Week” to coincide with The AIPAD Photography Show New York.

"We are pleased and proud to mark the 30th anniversary of the AIPAD Photography Show in 2010," noted Stephen Bulger, president, AIPAD, and president, Stephen Bulger Gallery, Toronto. "AIPAD dealers have stood the test of time, which underscores their extraordinary knowledge, experience and connoisseurship. In addition, it is a great pleasure to work with our corporate partner AXA Art, with its global presence and art world expertise."

To commemorate the 30th anniversary of AIPAD, the 2010 Show will feature Celebration, an exhibition-within-an-exhibition, and a number of special events including panel discussions with leading curators, dealers, artists and critics.

A wide range of the world's leading fine art photography galleries will exhibit at the show, including a number of international galleries from Paris, London, Berlin, Buenos Aires, the Czech Republic and Japan.

Several special events are planned for Saturday, March 20th and Sunday, March 21st. Six panel discussions bringing together leading curators, dealers, artists and journalists are planned during the AIPAD Photography Show New York in the Veteran's Room at the Park Avenue Armory. The AIPAD programs are free with that day's admission to the AIPAD Photography Show New York. Seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.

NEW TOPOGRAPHICS: Landscape Photography Then and Now

STREET SEEN: The Psychological Gesture in American Photography, 1940-1959

This new exhibition, on view at the Milwaukee Art Museum from January 30 through April 25, 2010, examines a unique and pivotal moment in American photographic history. The first major examination of street photography of the 1940s and '50s in nearly 20 years includes work by Lisette Model, Robert Frank, Louis Faurer, Ted Croner, Saul Leiter, and William Klein – and uncovers a crucial time in American art, when global media was in its adolescence and photography was just beginning to achieve recognition in the contemporary art world. A highlight will be the New York debut of Time Capsule, a recently discovered short film by Louis Faurer.

A CONVERSATION WITH MEMBERS OF THE PHOTO LEAGUE

In the critical years leading up to World War II, the Photo League flourished as a progressive center for American photography in New York City. In 1947, the League was listed as a "subversive" organization, leading to its demise in 1951. The panel presents a rare opportunity to hear first-hand accounts from the artists themselves during this turbulent period.

Moderators:

Catherine Evans, Chief Curator, Columbus Museum of Art, Ohio

Mason Klein, Curator of Fine Arts, The Jewish Museum, New York

Artists/Speakers: Vivian Cherry, Sonia Meyer, Arthur Leipzig, Jerome Liebling, Rebecca Lepkoff, Marvin E. Newman, Erika Stone, and Ida Wyman
