AIPAD’s Photography Show returns to the Park Avenue Armory from April 22–26. Now in its 45th edition, the fair moves beyond the traditional art fair format, positioning itself as a dialogue between historical photographic practices and more experimental, contemporary approaches.
Across several standout presentations, this year’s fair brings together historic and contemporary voices from Argentina, Mexico, Brazil, Peru and Colombia, offering a rare opportunity to see how photography from the region has shaped - and continues to shape - global visual culture.
Galería Vasari (Buenos Aires) will bring together works by Julio Le Parc and AnneMarie Heinrich, continuing its long-standing commitment to Argentina’s modern photographic legacy and the foundations of the region’s visual language.
ROLF ART (Buenos Aires) will present works by Alicia D’Amico and Sara Facio, pioneers of Argentine photography whose collaborative and independent practices documented gender, identity and urban life through series such as Retratos y Autorretratos and Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires, alongside works by Adriana Lestido (Argentina).
Toluca Fine Art (Paris) will highlight several key artists, including Facundo de Zuviría, whose photographs of Buenos Aires examine storefronts, façades and urban textures; Johanna Calle (Colombia), whose photographic drawings explore disappearing vernacular architecture; and Miguel Rio Branco (Brazil), whose celebrated carnival series centers Afro-Brazilian culture and social life. The presentation also includes works by Graciela Iturbide (Mexico) and Eduardo Longoni (Argentina).
Ruiz-Healy Art (San Antonio / New York) will present works by Graciela Iturbide (Mexico), Kati Horna (Hungary / Mexico) and Cecilia Paredes (Peru), exploring themes of identity, memory and cultural hybridity that have been central to Latin American photographic practice.
Taken together, these presentations trace a lineage from early modernist and documentary traditions to experimental and socially engaged practices today, positioning Latin American photography as one of the fair’s most compelling throughlines.
