Art Basel Miami Beach

– Gertrude Stein

 

Berry Campbell is pleased to announce its participation in Art Basel Miami Beach 2024. Since its founding in 2013, Berry Campbell has been dedicated to bringing underrepresented artists to prominence, most notably women of Abstract Expressionism. Not so long ago, many of these artists were still relegated to the margins of art history; however, through collective efforts of research and promotion, there has been a resurgence of interest in the work of women artists of this time. In this presentation, we will highlight the work of postwar women artists from the gallery’s primary and secondary market program who have received recent acclaim in the form of museum exhibitions, high-profile articles and books, and record-breaking sales. Although gender disparity in the art world still exists, the rate of change in female acceptance is as Gertrude Stein said, “startling.”

 

Featured works include a significant Alice Baber triptych from 1972, which was first exhibited at the A.M. Sachs Gallery in 1973 and has been in the same private collection since then. The gallery will also present a Lynne Drexler painting from 1969 that was recently released by The Lynne Drexler Archive, a powerful work by Sonia Gechtoff from 1960, and a portrait of artist, Aristodimos Kaldis by Elaine de Kooning, who was one of Elaine de Kooning's favorite portrait subjects with his colorful scarves and larger than life personality.

 

Other featured artists include Mary Abbott, Janice Biala, Bernice Bing, Lilian Thomas Burwell, Niki de Saint Phalle, Dorothy Dehner, Lynne Drexler, Perle Fine, Judith Godwin, Nancy Graves, Grace Hartigan, Beverly McIver, Ethel Schwabacher, and Yvonne Thomas.
