Observer recently caught up with Berry and Campbell, two visionaries with a flair for rewriting art history, to better understand how they’ve courted success in a market that too often prizes spectacle over scholarship.
“It’s already eleven years that we have had this gallery, and we have known each other for even longer—time flies,” said Berry, smiling. “We’ve worked together for 17 years? Wow!” continues Campbell. Both seem somewhat surprised at how long and solid their partnership has been. Although women’s business relationships often outlast those of their male counterparts, the synchronicity and seamless complicity between Campbell and Berry—evident in the way they finish each other’s sentences and weave their thoughts together—makes it crystal clear why their partnership has endured for so long.
