THE PHOTOGRAPHY SHOW PRESENTED BY AIPAD
APRIL 5-8, 2018 | PIER 94, NEW YORK CITY
SPECIAL EXHIBITIONS
NEW YORK – Three special exhibitions will be on view at The Photography Show, presented by
AIPAD, April 5-8, 2018 at Pier 94 in New York City. Sir Elton John will curate an exhibition on the
theme of reflection. Collector Joe Baio's photographs will be the focus of an exhibition
exploring childhood and adolescence. Work influenced by the Black Panthers will be on view in
an exhibition from the Photographic Center Northwest.
Featuring 96 of the world’s leading fine art photography galleries, the 38th edition of the Show
will open with a vernissage on April 4, 2018. One of the world’s most important annual
photography fairs, The Photography Show is the longest running and foremost exhibition
dedicated to the photographic medium and is organized by the Association of International
Photography Art Dealers (AIPAD).
Sir Elton John: A Time for Reflection
Sir Elton John has invited exhibiting
AIPAD member galleries to submit
work for an exhibition around the
theme, A Time for Reflection.
Photographs that Sir Elton John finds
inspiring and relevant to the theme
will be featured at The Photography
Show in a special exhibition. The
works will be available for purchase
and participating galleries will donate
a percentage of the sales to The Sir
Elton John Charitable Trust.
Forever Young: Selections from the Joe Baio Collection of Photography
Selections from the Joe Baio Collection of Photography will be exhibited publicly for the first
time at The Photography Show. The Baio Collection, built
around the themes of childhood and adolescence, spans
the history of the medium from the 19th century to the
present. Nearly every medium and movement in
photography’s history is represented, with vernacular
photography hanging democratically beside related
images by famous photographers. On view at The
Photography Show will be work by many of today’s
significant photographers including Elinor Carucci, Larry
Fink, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Nan Goldin, Emmet Gowin,
Pieter Hugo, Ryan McGinley, Vik Muniz, Nicholas Nixon,
Hellen van Meene, and Bjørn Sterri. Classic work by Diane
Arbus, Richard Avedon, Brassäi, Henri Cartier-Bresson,
Roy De Carava, Charles Dodgson (aka Lewis Carroll),
Robert Frank, Lewis Hine, André Kertész, Dorothea Lange,
Saul Leiter, Helen Levitt, Ray Metzker, August Sander, and
Garry Winogrand will also be shown. Culled from his collection of 6,000 images, the selection
for The Photography Show, curated by Mr. Baio and Anne Griffin, will be installed salon-style to
echo the collection as it is displayed in their home.
All Power: Visual Legacies of the Black Panther Party
Launched in 1966, and active for less than 20 years, the
Black Panther Party for Self-Defense indelibly pierced the
public consciousness. All Power: Visual Legacies of the
Black Panther Party, curated by Michelle Dunn Marsh,
Executive Director and Curator at the Photographic
Center Northwest, is drawn from a book of the same
name (Minor Matters Books, 2016). The exhibition
showcases a select group of contemporary black artists,
including emerging and internationally-acclaimed
practitioners, from 22 to 70 years of age, who have been
informed or influenced by the Panthers. Exhibiting artists
include Maikoiyo Alley-Barnes, Endia Beal, Bruce
Bennett, Howard Cash, Kris Graves, Ayana V. Jackson,
Kambui Olujimi, Lewis Watts, Carrie Mae Weems, Hank
Willis Thomas, and Robert Wade. After The Photography
Show, the exhibition will be on view through June 10 at
the Photographic Center Northwest in Seattle, in
conjunction with the 50th anniversary of the founding of
the Seattle chapter of the Black Panthers.AIPAD TALKS
A program of more than 12 talks and panel discussions will feature daily sessions with leading
