Berry Campbell is pleased to announce its second year participating in Art Basel Hong Kong, continuing the gallery’s commitment to championing historically underrecognized artists. This finely curated presentation reflects Christine Berry and Martha Campbell’s commitment to placing American women artists within a historical context and introducing them to an international art market. Building on the momentum of the gallery’s successful presentation at Art Basel Hong Kong in 2025 with press mentions in South China Morning Post, ChinaDaily, Travel + Leisure Asia, Associated Press, and Artnet, this year’s presentation extends the gallery’s broader program dedicated to advancing the careers of significant women artists.
This curated presentation features all women artists with a selection of works by artists whose contributions to postwar art history are now being reassessed. Through expanded scholarship, museum exhibitions, and growing market interest, these artists are increasingly recognized for their vital contributions that resonate within a contemporary context. Featured artists include Alice Baber, Janice Biala, Bernice Bing, Louisa Chase, Elaine de Kooning, Lynne Drexler, Mercedes Matter, Elizabeth Osborne, Yvonne Thomas, and Lucia Wilcox.
Highlights of the gallery’s stand include Alice Baber’s 1974 painting, The Mountain Ladder to the Sea, a luminous work that exemplifies Baber’s exploration of transcendental color and light. The presentation also includes an important 1974 painting by Lynne Drexler, directly from The Lynne Drexler Archive, underscoring renewed scholarly interest in her work. In addition, the gallery will present a fresh-to-the-market painting by Elaine de Kooning, an important Abstract Expressionist and one of the Ninth Street Women.
Other highlights include Ideograph #1 (1989) by Chinese American artist Bernice Bing. A powerful example of her calligraphic approach to abstraction, Ideograph #1, one that evokes what Jillian Steinhauer described in the New York Times as “an ever-shifting, perhaps uneasy coexistence between East and West.” Also featured is Peonies Dawn (2020), a still life by 89-year-old artist Elizabeth Osborne, whose meditative paintings focus on light, color, and calm, as well as a 2008 work by Neo-Expressionist painter Louisa Chase that engages the pictorial space through heightened color and gesture.
