NEW YORK—Silverstein Photography has announced an expansion to a second gallery space several blocks from its flagship 24th Street space. The new location, on 20th Street, will open in April with an exhibition of work by Maria Antonietta Mamelli and will be devoted to showing work by emerging contemporary photographers, with the intention of "reinforcing our commitment to the future of the medium and the notion that significance is not restricted by exposure," according to gallery owner Bruce Silverstein.

In addition, the gallery has announced its representation of Aaron Siskind and the Aaron Siskind Foundation. The foundation celebrates the late Abstract Expressionist photographer's legacy — he served as an educator in the New York City public school system for 25 years — by providing grants that support artists working in still photography and photography-based media.
