AIPAD Photo Show, Feb. 10-13

The Association of International Photography Art Dealers' annual show starts tomorrow, Feb. 10. I attended the show last in 2003 and am considering another visit this weekend. As has been discussed elsewhere, shows like these are great opportunities to quickly introduce yourself to a ton of great work. Plus, you get a fat, 360-page exhibitor guide full of high-quality glossy reprints of a range of photographers' work being shown by the 70+ galleries in attendance, more than half of which are from outside New York. Three lectures/panels will be held over the weekend, one on the great photography collections in the mid-west (where a lot of great photography is coming from these days), and tributes to Henri Cartier-Bresson and Hellen Gee, both of whom died last year.

It's $30 for the whole shebang, $20 for one day only (probably all you'd need.)
