AIPAD’S NEW MEMBERS
Beetles+Huxley, London, founded in 2010 by Chris Beetles and Giles Huxley-Parlour, maintains a vibrant exhibition program focusing on artists who have played a significant role in the history of photography, and those who continue to shape the field in the present day. The gallery has presented exhibitions by artists as diverse as Cecil Beaton, Bruce Davidson, Edward Weston, Joel Meyerowitz, Sebastião Salgado, Steve McCurry, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Wang Qingsong, Berenice Abbott, Bill Brandt, Vivian Maier and Ruud van Empel, and maintains a range of work by photographic masters from Edward Steichen to Irving Penn.

Gilles Peyroulet & Cie, Paris, was established over 30 years ago, and shows early photography from the 19th century through the late 1930s along with contemporary artists, juxtaposing work from different periods around specific themes. The gallery also represents classics of the avant-garde, especially from Italy and the U.S.

Holden Luntz Gallery, Palm Beach, founded in 1999, exhibits vintage and contemporary American and European photography, with a mission of acquiring and presenting the work of significant photographers whose work has either defined or is expanding the parameters of fine art photography. With a broad focus on the genres of portraiture, photojournalism, fashion, ethnography, still-life, landscape, figurative, conceptual and alternative process photography, exhibitions have ranged from classical photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Brassai, Andre Ketresz, Berenice Abbott, Horst P. Horst, and Jacques Henri Lartigue to contemporary photographers such as Harry Benson, John Dugdale, Elliott Erwitt, Sheila Metzner, Bruce Davidson, and Bruce Weber.

IBASHO, Antwerp, established in 2015, shows fine art Japanese photography ranging from works by well-known photographers to younger contemporary artists as well as works from Western photographers who were inspired by Japan. IBASHO hopes to show the versatility and beauty of Japanese photography in its many guises, from the raw and unpolished to the minimalist and still. As photo books are an important medium for presenting photography in Japan, IBASHO also deals in new and antiquarian photo books.

Photographica FineArt Gallery, Lugano, was founded by Marco Antonetto in 2009 with the purpose of creating an exhibition space that conceives photography as a means of artistic expression. Alternating exhibitions of great masters of photography with young contemporary artists, the gallery endeavors to train collectors in the concept of photographic aesthetics from the 1940s to today.
