New York City Photo Show March 31, 2012


The New York City Photo Show was much anticipated and it lived up to its expectations. Dealers expanded into two rooms displayed a diverse selection of 19th and 20th century photographs. The early buying crowd included a few luminaries from the photographica world as well as numerous dealers exhibiting at AIPAD. And the attendance remain lively throughout the day, right up to closing time. A great day, solidifying a place for the show among the events taking place in the city during "photo week".

Thanks again to Steve Yeager (and friends) for making it happen!
