Queens of infinite space
Christine Berry and Martha Campbell started the Berry Campbell Gallery in New York in 2013. Their mission is to actively seek out and promote works by women artists, especially underrepresented ones. Co-founder Berry says, “Many of the women we’ve been showing — like Alice Baber, Bernice Bing and Lynne Drexler — are now sought-after artists.”
For their ABHK debut this year, the co-founders have put together a selection of abstract paintings in warm colors and with celebratory overtones. They seem to resonate with each other.
Berry agrees that “many of the paintings we are showcasing exude joy with bright and colorful compositions”. “All of these artists had different backgrounds with varying personal journeys, but the one thing they all have in common is that they are able to create exactly what they want,” she adds. “These women artists are not pressured by patronage or market concerns.”
