AIPAD will honor Photograph Magazine with its inaugural Lifetime Achievement Award. Founded in 1988 by Bill Mindlin, Photograph Magazine began as the premier listings guide to photography shows across New York City. It evolved into a beautifully printed magazine, eventually adding a website and newsletter that introduced thousands of readers to photography and its dynamic community. For over thirty-five years the magazine covered countless talented photographers, committed curators, dealers, book publishers and era-defining exhibitions, all while publishing the work of many gifted and knowledgeable writers. The magazine’s final issue was published in July of 2024. Alongside Mindlin, Photograph Magazine’s core staff has consisted of publisher Anthony Beale, editor Jean Dykstra and designer Fabio Cutró.
“The impact and influence of Photograph Magazine, including its incredible staff, cannot be overstated,” said Lydia Melamed Johnson, Executive Director of AIPAD.
“In supporting photographers and writers, they introduced and educated countless enthusiasts, curators, collectors and artists to photography in all its forms. Their listings and reviews were a lifeline for an emerging gallery, with many an AIPAD Member among them. The Board and I are thrilled to honor Photograph and its incredible legacy with the inaugural AIPAD Lifetime Achievement Award.”
