"It is said that the future is female, and one can only hope. But it is important to remember that the past, through continuous excavation, is becoming more female all the time."
– Roberta Smith, The New York Times, 2021
Berry Campbell is pleased to announce its participation in the Art Dealers Association of America's 2024 The Art Show. Since its founding in 2013, Berry Campbell has been dedicated to bringing underrepresented artists to prominence, most notably the 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. Featured artists include Mary Abbott, Alice Baber, Janice Biala, Bernice Bing, Elaine de Kooning, Dorothy Dehner, Lynne Drexler, Perle Fine, Judith Godwin, Nancy Graves, Ethel Schwabacher, and Yvonne Thomas.
The perception of women’s place within Abstract Expressionism is changing at an extraordinary rate, and gender is becoming viewed as merely a fact and not a concern. This presentation is an extension of our gallery program, dedicated to the rediscovery and advancement of significant women artists.
