This selection of photographs made using alternative processes and techniques 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 featuring alternative processes and techniques made between roughly 1930 and the present. There were so many worthy options for inclusion in this collection that another 10 or even 20 works could easily been added without sacrificing much in the way of quality, but the curatorial limits of this exercise were fixed in ...

This selection of works by Black photographers 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 Black photographers between roughly 1950 and the present.

If there is an overly simple conclusion to be drawn from the sparse scattering of photography on view in the booths at this year’s Armory Show in New York, it is that contemporary gallery owners must think that they can’t sell much photography right now. A nearly endless sea of paintings filled the 200+ booths at the Javits Center this past weekend, with just three photography specialists devoting their booths to the medium (Bruce Silverstein, Edwynn Houk, and Yancey Richardson) and only small pockets of photography to be found elsewhere here and there. And when photography was present, there wasn’t ... Read more at Collector Daily.

As I walked in yesterday to attend this year’s AIPAD Photography Show, I was reminded of a small personal anniversary. I first visited this fair 15 years ago now, and aside from the interruptions of the pandemic years, I have consistently reported on what I have found at the fair over that entire period. At roughly 45 booths this year, hosted in a Midtown space on 5th Avenue (for the second year in a row), the AIPAD fair seems to be in an ebbing, transitional moment, where the tumults of the pandemic years and ongoing changes in tastes and interests ...
