Art Basel has launched its first edition in Doha, Qatar, with a deliberately small and tightly controlled format. The fair features only 87 galleries, all required to mount solo presentations, with strict limits on booth size, power sources, and rehanging of works. This creates a slower, calmer atmosphere distinct from its larger, more chaotic sister fairs in Miami and Paris.
The Association of International Photography Art Dealers (AIPAD) has announced the 77 galleries and dealers participating in its 2026 Photography Show, set for April 22–26 at New York's Park Avenue Armory. The exhibitor list includes established names like Edwynn Houk Gallery and Yancey Richardson, alongside first-time participants such as Ruiz-Healy Art and Leica Gallery New York. A new 'Focal Point' section for solo presentations will be introduced, and the fair aims for greater gender parity, with a third of exhibitors being women-led or founded.
