Report on the Spring Art Week in New York
May 29, 2022
For a change of medium, however, you had to go to The Photography Show presented by AIPAD, Association of International Photography Art Dealers that this year debuted in a new location in Midtown. The fair, now in its forty-first edition, has gathered forty-nine galleries from nine countries around the world, offering a broad look at contemporary photography, as well as the past of this medium. Inevitably, current events have also entered the images on display, such as in the photographs of Ukrainian refugees by Daniel Butow or those depicting the New York of the pandemic taken by Ashley Gilbertson. But there has also been a lot of history, especially American, with photos of Gordon Parks, Helen Levitt, Diane Arbus, Weegee, Tony Vaccaro.

New York Times: From Sandy Hook to Uvalde, the Violent Images Never Seen
May 30, 2022
"For a culture so steeped in violence, we spend a lot of time preventing anyone from actually seeing that violence. Something else is going on here, and I’m not sure it’s just that we’re trying to be sensitive.”
--Nina Berman, a documentary photographer, filmmaker and Columbia journalism professor.

Anna Boyiazis' In World Press Photo Exhibition: Resilience – Stories Of Women Inspiring Change
Via World Press Photo
Gender equality and justice is a fundamental human right critical in supporting cohesive societies. Yet women around the world face deeply entrenched inequality and remain underrepresented in political and economic roles. Worldwide in 2021, women represented just 26.1% of some 35,500 parliament seats, only 22.6% of over 3,400 ministers, and 27% of all managerial positions. Violence against women prevails as a serious global health and protection issue. An estimated one in three women will experience physical or sexual abuse in her lifetime.
This joint exhibition conveys the commitment of the Netherlands to women’s rights and gender equality and justice. Multiple voices, documented by 17 photographers of 13 different nationalities, offer insights into issues including sexism, gender-based violence, reproductive rights, and access to equal opportunities. The selection of stories explores how women and gender issues have evolved in the 21st century and how photojournalism has developed in the ways of portraying them.

Anecdotes and curiosities about the famous Italian-American photographer who became a living legend
Francesca Magnani Francesca Magnani
These days, at the AIPAD Photography Show in New York, one of the major international art fairs dedicated to photography, there is a white chair near the wall on which a living legend sits, the centenary Italian-American photographer Tony Vaccaro. Between one work and another, some visitors kneel before him to exchange a few words with him.
Tony is happy to tell anecdotes about his shots and take a selfie with his admirers.

He always sits in the same place and behind him there is a post-war photo taken in Venice. "One of my favorite images – explains the artist – I was walking in Venice after the end of the war, photographing the whole city. Suddenly I heard the violin playing. In the picture you do not see the man's daughter, she was three years old, and she was sitting next to him to collect the money of passers-by in a hat".
The AIPAD Photography Show brings together 49 galleries from 9 countries and 23 cities in the United States. The exhibitors are all members of the prestigious Association of International Photography Art Dealers which includes the world's leading art photography galleries. This year it takes place in conjunction with Frieze New York, Volta New York and other fairs; Now in its 41st edition, the AIPAD Photography Show is the longest-running exhibition dedicated to the photographic medium and presents to the public a range of works ranging from specimens just offered to the market to museum-quality prints, including contemporary, modern photographs and works of the nineteenth century.

AIPAD : The Photography Show 2022 : Monroe Gallery of Photography
May 20, 2022
L'Å’IL DE LA PHOTOGRAPHIE
MAY 20, 2022
Monroe Gallery of Photography, Santa Fe, will present two distinct exhibitions exemplifying the power and immediacy of photojournalism. The first recognizes the new wave of independent photojournalists who are battling situational danger amidst growing public skepticism of the media. The second exhibition features the work of Tony Vaccaro, who has survived the Normandy Invasion and Covid-19, and just recently celebrated his 99th birthday. A highlight is the art-fair premier of Anna Boyiazis‘ World-Press award winning series “Finding Freedom in the Water,” featuring a stunning large format print of “Kijini Primary School students learn to float, swim and perform rescues in the Indian Ocean off of Muyuni, Zanzibar, 2016”. Traditionally, girls in the Zanzibar Archipelago have been discouraged from learning how to swim, largely due to the absence of modest swimwear. But in villages on the northern tip of Zanzibar, the Panje Project (panje translates as ‘big fish’) is providing opportunities for local women and girls to learn swimming skills in full-length swimsuits, so that they can enter the water without compromising their cultural or religious beliefs.
