Aipad: The Photography Show is taking place at the Park Avenue Armory in New York from April 22-26, 2026, featuring works from over 70 galleries. The exhibition highlights include Bill Brandt's 1952 nude, Rania Matar's portrait of a young woman in Lebanon, and Zanele Muholi's 2009 portrait of a lesbian pageant queen, alongside works by Tania Franco Klein, Ruth Thorne-Thomsen, and others that explore themes of identity, anxiety, and alternative realities.
The show serves as a major marketplace and survey of contemporary and historical photography, bringing together a diverse range of artists and galleries. It underscores the medium's ongoing evolution and its power to address personal, social, and political issues, from feminist perspectives and queer visibility to the psychological impacts of digital life.
