I guess Soth too has shot better, but I still think this is a really nice group. The head shot on the left maybe a bit too fashion magazine for my tastes, but it does balance out the photography of mid-west life, which is, well, ubiquitous.

How did you miss the 2 entire walls of Andre Kertesz polaroids?? Silverstein had a huge wall of Kertesz Polaroids..actually it was right next to the Bonni Benrubi gallery booth!! Plus there were a few Large Chuck Close polaroids around as well. Sadly.. I thought the new Soth magazine work was his "lightest" to date...Alec is super nice & was a great blogger, but I just wonder if his 5 minutes of fame have past already? You saw no polaroids???

You know.. when you're charging $2,000+ for a tiny Polaroid.. they may actually throw the frame in for free!! By the way.. all the Polaroids I saw at AIPAD were framed!!

I really have a hard time picking anything out of that fair. It all looks the same to me - so much more so than at fairs like Pulse or the Armory. Re Soth: It is weak compared to other series, but I liked the booth as a show space. Also, as far as the magazine series goes, as I recall there's far weaker work in that group than what was showed, so at least some editing went on. I missed the high school girls, and say, Moujik IV, but most of the shots he took of people who were used to being shot seemed like throw aways to me. As a disclaimer I should say that I do my best to keep up with photography and am learning a lot in an effort to get caught up, but it's not my area of expertise.
