NEW YORK, NY.- The 34th annual AIPAD Photography Show New York garnered high praise from collectors, curators, critics, and exhibitors during its four day run April 10-13, 2014, at the Park Avenue Armory. Presented by The Association of International Photography Art Dealers (AIPAD), the Show is the longest-running and foremost exhibition of fine art photography.

AIPAD’s first-ever young collectors night on April 11 was also a marked success. The VIP program drew rave reviews and offered private access to talks by leading curators and the homes of important collectors.
