Formed in 1979, the Association of International Photography Art Dealers is, per its mission statement, “dedicated to creating and maintaining high standards in the business of exhibiting, buying, and selling photographs as art.” The next year, AIPAD organized its inaugural AIPAD Photography Show; the 2014 edition will be held April 10-13 at the Park Avenue Armory, preceded on April 9 by a gala benefit for Her Justice, a nonprofit consisting of lawyers and law firms that help facilitate life-changing results for women facing poverty and abuse. The fair features more than eighty galleries from around the world exhibiting solo, group, and thematic displays; you’ll find works by Stan Douglas, Philip diCorcia, Thomas Ruff, and James Welling at David Zwirner; Richard Renaldi at Bonni Benrubi; William Eggleston’s Memphis series at Catherine Edelman; Jim Campbell at Bryce Wolkowitz; Robert Heinecken at Robert Koch and Stephen Daiter (as well as a terrific show at MoMA), Jen Davis at Lee Marks; Robert Frank’s Peruvian images at Alan Klotz; Matthew Brandt’s “Dust” at Yossi Milo; Debbie Grossman’s “My Pie Town” at Julie Saul; Zhang Bing at 798; Richard Misrach at Etherton; Teikoh Shiotani at Taka Ishii; Charles Marville at Charles Isaacs, Hans B.
