The Association of International Photography Art Dealers (AIPAD) has announced the 45th edition of The Photography Show, scheduled to take place at New York’s Park Avenue Armory from April 22–26, 2026. The fair will feature 77 galleries, ranging from long-standing participants like Edwynn Houk Gallery to first-time exhibitors such as Galerie Sophie Scheidecker and Central Server Works. A significant addition to this year's programming is the debut of "Focal Point," a new sector dedicated exclusively to solo presentations that explore the experimental and evolving nature of lens-based media.
This event underscores the continued strength and specialization of medium-specific art fairs in a competitive global market. By bridging the gap between historic vintage photography and contemporary conceptual practices, the fair aims to solidify photography’s status as a fine art while fostering a new generation of collectors and dealers. The inclusion of the AIPAD Talks program further emphasizes the fair's role as a site for scholarly and cultural dialogue, reflecting broader shifts in how identity and history are captured through the lens.
