This is Part 2 of our 2014 AIPAD Photography Show summary. For more general background information on the fair and further information on the structure of these slideshows, please return to Part 1 (here).
This report covers the booths in the middle left aisle of the show floor, as seen from the entrance. The only booth not included is Jenkins Johnson Gallery, where photography was not allowed; this was too bad, as there was a surprising Roy DeCarava image of a crushed can that I would have like to have featured.
M97 Gallery (here): Chinese memories, elusively recreated. Wang Ningde, priced at $5000.
Photography at Quaritch (here): Tumbling, hair twirling curls in a richly toned 1843 portrait by Hill and Adamson. Priced at $50000.
