HIGHLIGHTS
Dawoud Bey’s new series, Night Coming Tenderly, Black, will be featured for the first time in New York City at AIPAD at Stephen Daiter Gallery, Chicago.

The work is currently on view at the Art Institute of Chicago and will be seen next year at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
 
The photographer duo Cortis and Sonderegger build elaborate sets and re-create famous photographs. One from 2016, depicting Ansel Adam’s Moon and Half Dome, will be on display at Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery, New York.
 
Etherton Gallery, Tucson, will present a solo exhibition of the work of the influential documentary photographer Danny Lyon, including a monumental collage that provides a visual narrative of Lyon’s many influences. Contemporary Works/Vintage Works, Chalfont, PA, will present iconic photographs from Robert Frank and Man Ray and devote a project space to the work of André Kertész. Howard Greenberg Gallery, New York, will show important photographs by Bruce Davidson, Louis Faurer, Saul Leiter, Ray K.

Most of the photographs come from a private collection acquired directly from a member of Lange’s immediate family and include fine prints of rarely seen images. These discoveries will be on view alongside examples of some of her most iconic images.
 
Architecture
The Paramount Theater in Brooklyn was famous in its day, hosting such artists as Ella Fitzgerald, Miles Davis, and Frank Sinatra. Closing in 1962, the magnificent building has served as a gymnasium for Long Island University, but will be restored to its former glory and reopened later this year. With its spectacular ceiling intact, it can be seen in a 2008 photograph by Yves Marchand & Romain Meffre at Polka Galerie, Paris.
 
Joseph Bellows Gallery, La Jolla, CA, will feature photographers from the mid-1970s to the present—including Lewis Baltz, Frank Gohlke, and George Tice—who depict contemporary American landscapes and architecture that defines a specific sense of place. William Henry Fox Talbot, the inventor of photography on paper, was inspired by his home, Lacock Abbey in Wiltshire, England. Many of the photographs he made there using his new technology will be on view at Hans P. Kraus Jr. Fine Photographs, New York.
 
Lewis Hine’s iconic image of New York’s Empire State Building under construction in the early 1930s will be a highlight at Joel Soroka Gallery, Aspen. HackelBury Fine Art, London, will feature the American debut of British photographer Oli Kellett. His photographs show individuals and small clusters of people dwarfed by urban landscapes that appear to be part of a film set. VRG, Hong Kong, will show the work of architectural photographer William Furniss. The performative architectural work of Reine Paradis will be on view at Galerie Catherine etAndré Hug, Paris.

New portraits by Lissa Rivera, an artist and curator whose work challenges ambiguities of sexual identity, will be on view at ClampArt, New York.

Borders, Social Justice, Travel, and More
In 2014 two artists, Marcos Ramírez ERRE and David Taylor, one Mexican and one American, set out to reframe the history of the U.S.-Mexico border with a 2,400-mile-long site-specific installation, DeLIMITations. Using photography, video, and maps, the artists collaborated to trace the boundary as it existed in 1821, when Mexico encompassed all of present-day California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas, as well as portions of four other states. The work will be on view at Rick Wester Fine Art, New York, and will be discussed in an AIPAD Talk on Friday, April 5.
 
Alejandro Cartagena removes figures from vernacular photography to create unique works that comment on the current socio-political status of Latin America; these can be seen atKopeikin Gallery, Los Angeles. As the artist notes, his new body of work “connotes larger issues in my Latin America, where we have become ‘no one’ in the midst of our social and political crisis. In the end, it seems anyone can disappear, and no one will ever give us answers.”
 
Ryan Vizzions, known for his powerful photographs examining the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation and the controversial Dakota access pipeline, will have his work exhibited byMonroe Gallery of Photography, Santa Fe.
