The art fair that improves each year, and is reasonable to navigate, AIPAD New York, mixes contemporary fine art photography with vintage work (although it’s getting more and more contemporary-based).
Here are a few highlights that I came across, although there are many more. Don’t forget to look in the “bins” where other older Modern or Ninetieth Century photos can be hidden.
Or, a quick six second summary.
An earlier black and white, in modest size.
There are a handful of these dog/shadow images (full disclosure: Thom Roma was a graduate school teacher at Yale University).
There usually are a several more Atget’s, but this is a classic.
Also at Houk Gallery, an older Sally Mann.
Traveling through North America with a view camera following ribbons of rail and rivers, Canadian Scott Conarroe produced some great work (and a book).
From about 1988 I think, a beautiful platinum print by Lois Conner, also from the Yale University MFA program.
I think Lee Marks Fine Art has been showing Jen Davis’ photographs for a number of years–perhaps five or ten?
Mike Smith also is a favorite of mine, and this large print proved popular with two red dots.
Who is Nikolay Bakharev? I’m not really sure but I like him. I know he’s from Siberia and this image, along with a few others, are from the late 70’s and 80’s and capture a raw beauty. An Aperture book is in the works.
Nice Alec Soth, who usually has interesting photos at AIPAD.
Striking color by Simone Kappeler at Galerie Esther Woerdehoff’s booth.
Speaking of color, this Jerome Liebling was luscious.
Yossi Milo seems to have been veering towards unique works over the last few years, such as this one by John Chiara.
Striking black and white by Nigerian artist J.D. Okhai Ojeikere.
This is a booth at the fair that I usually seek out, and find interesting work, like this image by Olaf Otto Becker at Galerie f5.6.
A lesser known but nice Levitt.
An interesting series of several dozen photos of a sexual predator residence.
I think this was one of the most interesting series at the fair. Here Margaret Bourke-White, at Daniel Blau, focused on theatre and dancers–an amazing collection.
An enchanting and slightly mysterious classic Robert Adams.
Strikingly large print by at Jaqueline Hasseink at Benrubi Gallery
