The art fair that improves each year, and is reasonable to navigate, AIPAD New York, mixes contemporary fine art photography with vintage work (although it’s getting more and more contemporary-based).

Here are a few highlights that I came across, although there are many more.  Don’t forget to look in the “bins” where other older Modern or Ninetieth Century photos can be hidden.

Or, a quick six second summary.

 

Katy Grannan, Kopeikin Gallery


An earlier black and white, in modest size.

 

Thomas Roma, Howard Greenberg


There are a handful of these dog/shadow images (full disclosure: Thom Roma was a graduate school teacher at Yale University).

 

Eugene Atget, Edwynn Houk Gallery


There usually are a several more Atget’s, but this is a classic.

 

Sally Mann, Edwynn Houk Gallery


Also at Houk Gallery, an older Sally Mann.

 

Scott Conarroe, Stephen Bulger Gallery


Traveling through North America with a view camera following ribbons of rail and rivers, Canadian Scott Conarroe produced some great work (and a book).

 

Lois Conner, Gitterman Gallery


From about 1988 I think, a beautiful platinum print by Lois Conner, also from the Yale University MFA program.

 

Jen Davis, Lee Marks Fine Art


I think Lee Marks Fine Art has been showing Jen Davis’ photographs for a number of years–perhaps five or ten?

 

Mike Smith, Lee Marks Fine Art


Mike Smith also is a favorite of mine, and this large print proved popular with two red dots.

 

Nikolay Bakharev, Julie Saul Gallery


Who is Nikolay Bakharev? I’m not really sure but I like him.  I know he’s from Siberia and this image, along with a few others, are from the late 70’s and 80’s and capture a raw beauty. An Aperture book is in the works.

 

Alec Soth, Weinstein Gallery


Nice Alec Soth, who usually has interesting photos at AIPAD.

 

Simone Kappeler, Galerie Esther Woerdehoff


Striking color by Simone Kappeler at Galerie Esther Woerdehoff’s booth.

 

Jerome Liebling, Steven Kasher Gallery


Speaking of color, this Jerome Liebling was luscious.

 

John Chiara, Yossi Milo Gallery


Yossi Milo seems to have been veering towards unique works over the last few years, such as this one by John Chiara.

 

J.D. Okhai Ojeikere, Gallery Fifty One


Striking black and white by Nigerian artist J.D. Okhai Ojeikere.

 

Olaf Otto Becker, Galerie f5.6


This is a booth at the fair that I usually seek out, and find interesting work, like this image by Olaf Otto Becker at Galerie f5.6.

 

Helen Levitt, Laurence Miller Gallery


A lesser known but nice Levitt.

 

Sofia Valiente, Daniel Blau


An interesting series of several dozen photos of a sexual predator residence.

 

Margaret Bourke-White, Daniel Blau


I think this was one of the most interesting series at the fair.  Here Margaret Bourke-White, at Daniel Blau, focused on theatre and dancers–an amazing collection.

 

Paul Haviland, Lee Gallery


A beautiful gravure print.

 

Robert Adams, Lee Gallery


An enchanting and slightly mysterious classic Robert Adams.

 

Jaqueline Hasseink, Benrubi Gallery


Strikingly large print by at Jaqueline Hasseink at Benrubi Gallery
