logotype_ny

Well.. I already saw AIPAD. There are some really beautiful gems. Also, a good splash of color and very of the moment contemporary photography, contrasting with the traditional classic black and white photos expected at this type of fair. Go and see the fair!

Special thanks to Margery Newman for her hospitality during the AIPAD opening!

The weather will be gorgeous all weekend and there is plenty of photographs on the walls, that will make you smile and try to seduce your wallet to come home with you !

Here are some of the many highlights of the fair:

Walking in , the very first thing that welcomed me @ The Stephen Deiter Gallery from Chicago, was the beautiful Street photography of Paul D'Amato . Loved it!

Size DOES not MATTER when it comes to Project 5 Gallery booth, quality does~!
Sasha Wolf, Brian Clamp. Michael Foley, Dan Cooney and Paul Amador have a very compact but very efficient booth that deliver the goods. Not only each gallerist is show casing the works of all the artists part of project 5 , the limited edition portfolio is also available as well for only $2,500.00. A real bargain!

@ Robert Burge , the work of Kendall Messick is worth looking at. I heard from it first from Art Consultant, John Bennette months ago but seeing in person and meeting Kendall really made a big difference. Great photo series called Impermanence, will not say more about it because YOU are supposed to go and find out for yourself.

At Lawrence Miller Gallery booth the photography work of Denis Darzacq will make you float and gravitate at the supermarket. Love the contemporary feel of the HYPER series.
