Celebrating its 36th edition, The Photography Show, one of the world's most highly anticipated annual photography events, will be held April 14-17, 2016, at the Park Avenue Armory in New York. Presented by the Association of International Photography Art Dealers (AIPAD), the fair is the longest-running and foremost exhibition dedicated to the photographic medium.

Eighty-six of the world's leading fine art photography galleries will present a wide range of museum-quality work, including contemporary, modern, and 19th-century photographs as well as photo-based art, video, and new media.

The Show will commence with an opening night preview on April 13, 2016.

The Photography Show presented by AIPAD attracts the largest group of collectors interested in photography in the U.S.," said Catherine Edelman, president of AIPAD and director of the Catherine Edelman Gallery. "They rely on AIPAD for exposure to the most talented artists working in photography today as well as important photography from all time periods."

The Photography Show will feature galleries from across the U.S. and around the world, including Europe, Asia, Canada, Mexico, and South America.

I Photo Central dealers will be exhibiting at the show:

Charles Schwartz Ltd., (Booth 415) will show a photograph of the moon from the Lunar Orbiter project in 1966, which enabled NASA to determine where it would be possible for man to land on the moon. The image shows the crater Copernicus, one of the most prominent features on the face of the Moon. This print is from the collection of George Keene, who headed the team responsible for visually mapping the moon during the Apollo program. Keene's work on the Lunar Orbiter project yielded images of the moon's surface that were unprecedented in their precision and sharpness. A number of other NASA-related images will be available in the booth.

Contemporary Works/Vintage Works (Booth 307) will feature a number of large and important daguerreotypes, including two spectacular and iconic full-plate Southworth & Hawes portraits; two half-plates dags by Charles Negre—the only two known to be on the market; and three stereo daguerreotypes of nudes by or attributed to Bruno Braquehais. The company will also show a group of 16x20 inch contemporary dags by Jerry Spagnoli.

Other 19th-century work includes a wonderful genre image by Oscar Rejlander, entitled Reverie Roses; an early and important photograph of Pompeii by Le Gray/Le Dien; two of Julia M. Cameron's fine portraits of women; several of Henri Le Secq's studies of plaster casts and cathedral details; and a pair of large images of Hanging Game by Charles Negre (as well as numerous city and landscape photographs by this master).
