Photography buffs crowded into the massive Park Avenue Armory this weekend for AIPAD, The Association of International Photography Art Dealers’ 33^rd presentation of one of New York’s biggest photo events. If you wanted to catch up with people from all over that you only see a few times a year, all you had to do was hang out near the entrance to the hall for fifteen minutes.

A series of panel discussions ran all day Saturday at the nearby Hunter West Auditorium. For Color Rush: 75 Years of Color Photography in America, the hall filled up with people wanting to hear from John Pfahl, Barbara Kasten and Andy Grundberg in a discussion moderated by Katherine Bussard of the Princeton University Art Gallery and curator Lisa Hostetler, who jointly organized an exhibition of the same title currently on view at the Milwaukee Art Museum.

With seven new galleries showing this year at AIPAD (Brancolini Grimaldi, London; ClampArt, New York; Fifty One Fine Art Photography, Antwerp; Klompching Gallery, Brooklyn; M97 Gallery, Shanghai; P.P.O.W., New York; and Sage Paris), the café was moved to one of the beautifully restored period rooms off the lobby to make way for more art than ever. Information.
