This selection of Asian photography was drawn from the booths at Paris Photo 2023. For further background on how and why this “collection” was formed, and the structure of the resulting slideshow, visit the introductory page (here). This collection consists of 20 works made by Asian photographers between roughly 1930 and the present. Competition was similarly tough to join this group, with well recognized names like Nobuyoshi Araki, Shin Yanigasawa, Shohei Nishino, Eikoh Hosoe, Miho Kajioka, Pixy Liao, and others ultimately left off the team, but the overall “collection” feels somewhat more uneven than the other three, perhaps in terms ...

It’s been a year of consolidation for the annual AIPAD Photography Show in New York. This 2018 edition marks the fair’s second year at the Pier 94 site (after many years at the Park Avenue Armory), and to a large extent, the organizers have built on the successes that came with the dramatic venue switch last year and have improved many of the short term weaknesses that were exposed during the initial transition. The main body of the fair once again houses roughly 100 gallery booths, in spacious confines that give the dealers more freedom to show both bigger work ... Read more at Collector Daily.

When I first started to actually take real written notes at art fairs, more then a decade ago now, I began with the idea that it would be interesting to simply tally everything (all the photography that is) that was on view at a place like the Armory Show. This way, we could get an aggregate view of what was being offered, and then use that data to potentially discern some high level patterns, in the vein of more Shermans and less Germans in a given year for example. And while that statistical analysis did provide some insights into the bulk ... Read more at Collector Daily.

While it is certainly possible to jump into the middle of our Paris Photo 2016 summary reports and find your way directly to your favorite galleries, starting at the beginning and working through the booths systematically may make the most sense. Part 1 of our report can be found here, and along with one group of booth reports (the center section), it includes some general background on the fair and the outline of the slideshow format. This Part 2 of the report covers the section immediately to the left of the central section, as seen from the main entrance. It might also be ... Read more at Collector Daily.
