The Photography Show presented by AIPAD will take place April 22-26, 2026
at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City. Featuring exhibitors from around the world bringing historically significant and formally innovative work, the fair will continue the Photography Show's longstanding commitment to deepening the collective understanding of photography's history while spotlighting some of the most dynamic examples of contemporary experimentation.

The Photography Show showcases exceptional presentations by members of the
Association of International Photography Art Dealers (AIPAD), along with guest
exhibitors and galleries new to the fair. The 2026 iteration of the fair marks the
solidification of AIPAD's status as the market leader in photography and the
crystallization of The Photography Show as a benchmark event for the exhibition of
photography. After several years of refinement, The Photography Show has now
reached its optimal size, one that allows it to most effectively shape, support, and
advocate for the field of photography in all of its historical and contemporary
permutations.

AIPAD is excited to welcome new exhibitors, such as Galerie Sophie
Scheidecker, Paris, France; Ruiz-Healy Art, New York, NY and San Antonio, TX;
and Leica Gallery New York, alongside those returning to the fair, such as
Augusta Edwards Fine Art, London, United Kingdom; IBASHO, Antwerp,
Belgium in partnership with their new gallery IN-DEPENDANCE by IBASHO; ALTA
from Andorra will take two exhibition spaces; and Rolf Art, Buenos Aires,
Argentina. A defining feature of this year's fair is the increasing gender parity among
new and established galleries alike, with over a third of all exhibitors being
women-led, founded or both. Regularly overlapping with this growth and
diversification in exhibitors is the prominence of Latin American photography in the
programs of member galleries, something that will be reflected in the programming
of the fair.

AIPAD is proud to welcome back Lead Cultural Partner MUUS, whose partnership
will allow The Photography Show to feature an eclectic mix of illuminating and
celebratory events. Four days of AIPAD Talks, hosted by thought leaders in the
arts and culture space, will be accompanied by insightful walkthroughs and
educational events. The celebration of the prestigious AIPAD Award, presented
annually to a pioneer in the community, recognizing them for changing the ways we
perceive photography, as well as the AIPAD Lifetime Achievement Award,
honoring the legacies of photographic icons, will take place during the new Opening
Night Party on Wednesday, April 22. For the first time, the Aperture Portfolio
Prize will be awarded at the fair, with all five finalists participating in a group
exhibition organized by Aperture at AIPAD, as well as an AIPAD Talks program
featuring the finalists.

FOCAL POINT SECTOR

AIPAD is excited to introduce Focal Point, a new solo presentation sector for The
Photography Show 2026. Focal Point will highlight galleries and artists focused on
lens-based photography and is designed to showcase how artists have historically
expanded our collective understanding of what photography is and how
contemporary artists continue to show us what it can become. Designed in a
dynamic layout to create fresh sightlines and conversations by Oficina.la, the
renowned woman-led Mexico City and Los Angeles based architecture firm, Focal
Point is a revelatory way to exhibit powerful ideas and artistic practices in the iconic
Park Avenue Armory. By promoting singular and vital voices in an inventive way,
AIPAD affirms its commitment to supporting the next generation of galleries and
photographers, while offering collectors, curators and the public the opportunity to
discover the individuals who are shaping both the past, present and the future of
the medium.
