Founded by Christine Berry and Martha Campbell, the New York-based gallery is redefining curatorial excellence through scholarship-driven exhibitions, a commitment to legacy-building, and a spotlight on historically overlooked artists and estates.
Opening an art gallery is not a task for the faint of heart. The complexities of artist management, significant operating costs, and the ups and downs of the economy make for a challenging market to navigate over many years. However, this hasn’t stopped the many trailblazing dealers who have shaped the art world and market into what it has become today. Notable figures like Barbara Gladstone, Marian Goodman, and Paula Cooper have been instrumental in demonstrating the influence a strategic and thoughtful partner has on shaping the course of an artist’s career. Berry Campbell is continuing upon this legacy, and is making waves for its unique approach.
Founded in 2013 by Christine Berry and Martha Campbell, the gallery has distinguished itself through its thoughtfully assembled roster of artists and estates that demonstrate a unique place within the realm of modern and contemporary art galleries. Having worked across a range of arts institutions before opening their own gallery, Berry and Campbell brought together an impressive mix of experiences and aesthetic interests into the program they are continuing to build. Whitewall sat down with Berry Campbell on the occasion of their recent and first exhibition with the estate of Mary Ann Unger, one of the newest estates to join the gallery’s roster, as well as how they began their journey as gallerists and what makes them unique in the marketplace.
