Celebrating its 35th edition, The AIPAD Photography Show New York, one of the world's most highly anticipated annual photography events, will be held April 16-19, 2015, at the Park Avenue Armory (643 Park Avenue at 67th Street). Presented by The Association of International Photography Art Dealers (AIPAD), the fair is the longest-running and foremost exhibition dedicated to the photographic medium.

Eight-nine of the world's leading fine art photography galleries will present a wide range of museum-quality work, including contemporary, modern, and 19th-century photographs as well as photo-based art, video, and new media.
