New fair coming in June! There will be lots of photos!

To our dealers and clients, As many of you already know, we have been contemplating postponing the NYC Vintage Photo Fair for a few weeks now. Yesterday, after Paris Photo New York postponed their inaugural spring fair, we decided to do the same. Of course, also yesterday, the WHO designated the coronavirus outbreak a worldwide pandemic, which meant that our already constant calls to each other transitioned from what are we going to do? nature to a what kind of statement d...o we want to put out? nature. The choice was already made. Obviously, Paris Photo and AIPAD felt the same way. In times like these you have to do what is right and this is right. Our collective health is of the utmost importance to us. We want our dealers and our customers to be safe. There will be other shows and we promise, as we have in the past, to bring you the best, most diverse array of photographs available during photo week in New York at the most well-attended shadow fair. We ask you help us spread the word about the show by sending this notice or your own to your client list. We will be in touch as soon as possible with a rescheduled date. All the best, Mary Martin, Joe Russell, Dennis Waters, Erin Waters, & Casey Waters

We are one month away from the fair and our dealers are already deciding what to bring to share with you. What kinds of images do YOU want to see on their tables?

It's hard to believe that it's February and that fair is just a few months away now! I've posted the dealer list at the top of the page and will update it if necessary. Looking forward to seeing you at the Watson on Friday, April 3rd!

A simple yet elegant folder photo portrait. While often overlooked by collectors, the photo waiting when opening up the cover of a folder, can be quite lovely. Find stunning examples at the fair. Soon, we’ll be posting what should be (barring last minute changes) the final list of dealers, so keep your eye out for that. As in prior years, we’ll also be posting photos that dealers will bring to the show as we get closer to the event.

Many people in the US have been cleaning up after snowstorms last week. Hopefully they were having as much fun as this boy and his kitty cat!
