Robert Koch Gallery, a founding member of AIPAD, will present a group exhibition at The Photography Show 2026, held at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City from April 22–26. The gallery's booth B6 will feature the premiere of key early Edward Burtynsky images in a larger 48 × 60–72 inch format, previously unavailable at that scale, along with recent mine tailing images shown for the first time. Also on view will be photographs from Matt Black's American Geography and New World Atlas series, works by Mimi Plumb, whose retrospective is currently at the High Museum of Art, and pieces by historic photographers including Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Frank, Helen Levitt, and Man Ray.
This announcement matters because it highlights a major gallery's curated selection at one of the most important photography fairs in the United States, showcasing both newly available legacy works by a renowned contemporary photographer (Burtynsky) and emerging talent recognized by prestigious grants (Matt Black's MacArthur Fellowship). The exhibition bridges 19th-century, modern, and contemporary photography, underscoring the enduring market and institutional interest in the medium while offering collectors access to rare, larger-format prints.
