Monroe Gallery of Photography specializes in 20th- and 21st-century photojournalism and humanist imagery—images that are embedded in our collective consciousness and which form a shared visual heritage for human society. They set social and political changes in motion, transforming the way we live and think—in a shared medium that is a singular intersectionality of art and journalism. — Sidney and Michelle Monroe

Santa Fe, NM - Monroe Gallery of Photography is
honored to announce exclusive representation of acclaimed photographer Mark
Peterson for fine art print sales.
Mark Peterson is a photographer
based in New York City. His work has been published in the New York Times
Magazine, New York Magazine, The New Yorker, Time, Fortune, National
Geographic, Geo Magazine and other national and international publications. In
2018 he was awarded the W. Eugene Smith grant for his work on White
Nationalism. His many awards include a first place Feature Picture Story in the
Pictures of the Year International Competition. Peterson’s work has been
featured in numerous exhibitions including his pictures of lowriders shown in
“Museums Are Worlds” at the Louvre in 2012.
He is the author of two books:
Acts Of Charity published by Powerhouse in 2004 and Political Theatre,
published by Steidl in the fall of 2016. His work is collected in several
museums including The National Gallery of Art in Washington DC and the Museum
Of Fine Arts, Houston. In 2024 Steidl will publish his book The Fourth Wall.
Although often not beautiful, or
easy, Peterson’s images shake and disquiet us; and once seen are etched in our
memories forever. “I like a lot of chaos
in my pictures. I do like to be close to the action. It gives me a feeling of
what is happening. I want to pull back the curtain and show these politicians
as they really are.”
Monroe Gallery will exhibit several examples
of Peterson’s work at the 2024 Photography Show presented by AIPAD in booth
#A52, April 25 – 28, 2024 at The Park Avenue Armory in New York City. On
Thursday, March 21st at 7pm Eastern, The Griffin Museum hosts Mark Peterson for
an on-line conversation about his creative path, his pull to politics and what
it takes to frame his vision as part of the museum’s current focus on power and
perception, democracy and how we see and envision our elected leaders.

It goes without saying that one of the pandemic’s effects has been a lingering disruption of the art world: over the past few years, galleries, artists, and even the industry’s flagship fairs have grappled with the challenges posed by the black swan event of the century. But slowly, the industry is righting itself, and for some, the quest is no longer just to make it through another year—or day—but to recommit to serving artists and collectors in impactful, future-facing ways. The Association for International Photography and Art Dealers’ (AIPAD) Photography Show is one such organization, led by executive director Lydia Melamed Johnson, cautiously emerged from the pandemic years with its 2022 edition.

For a change of medium, however, you had to go to The Photography Show presented by AIPAD, Association of International Photography Art Dealers that this year debuted in a new location in Midtown. The fair, now in its forty-first edition, has gathered forty-nine galleries from nine countries around the world, offering a broad look at contemporary photography, as well as the past of this medium. Inevitably, current events have also entered the images on display, such as in the photographs of Ukrainian refugees by Daniel Butow or those depicting the New York of the pandemic taken by Ashley Gilbertson. But there has also been a lot of history, especially American, with photos of Gordon Parks, Helen Levitt, Diane Arbus, Weegee, Tony Vaccaro.

The Association of International Photography Art Dealers (AIPAD) will hold the 41st edition of The Photography Show May 20-22, at Center415. Forty-nine of the world’s leading fine art photography galleries will present a range of museum-quality work including contemporary, modern, and 19th century photographs, photo-based art, video, and new media. The opening preview of the Show will take place on May 19.
Monroe Gallery of Photography, Santa Fe, will exhibit in booth #113 on the main level of the Show, and will present two distinct exhibitions exemplifying the power and immediacy of photojournalism. The first recognizes the new wave of independent photojournalists who are battling situational danger amidst growing public skepticism of the media. The second exhibition features the work of Tony Vaccaro, who has survived the Normandy Invasion and Covid-19, and just recently celebrated his 99th birthday.

Bands of Jan. 6 rioters roamed the Capitol in a menacing hunt for Congressional adversaries of President Trump. Some were thwarted by a Capitol Police officer, Eugene Goodman, who—after being chased up a stairwell—diverted them from a hallway where senators and staff members were scurrying to safety. Throughout the tense encounter, Officer Goodman never drew his gun. (January 6, 2021/Ashley Gilbertson for The New York Times)
