Berry Campbell
Opening Reception: Thursday, September 10th, 2026🥂

Berry Campbell is pleased to announce 𝙋𝙚𝙧𝙡𝙚 𝙁𝙞𝙣𝙚: 𝙉𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙝 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙩 𝙒𝙤𝙢𝙖𝙣, an exhibition of paintings by the pioneering Abstract Expressionist Perle Fine (1905-1988). Spanning the 1940s through the early 1960s, the artist’s most celebrated period, this exhibition explores an important but long-underrecognized artist from the New York School and a woman who stood at the center of Abstract Expressionism.

This marks Perle Fine’s third exhibition at Berry Campbell, and brings together fifteen of her most rare, important, and coveted paintings and works on paper. The exhibition highlights Fine’s remarkable ability to balance gesture, color, and structure in a purely abstract language.

Forthcoming in December 2026, Berry Campbell is producing a fully illustrated 98-page hardcover monograph featuring color reproductions and an essay by art historian and former Director of the Po***ck-Krasner House, Helen A. Harrison.

UPCOMING FAIR

September 24 — 27, 2026
The Breuer, New York City
Independent Berry Campbell

Berry Campbell is pleased to present Stable Gallery: The Women at Independent 20th Century, marking the gallery’s inaugural participation in the fair. This presentation examines Abstract Expressionism through the Stable Gallery’s founder Eleanor Ward and the women artists she championed. For decades, Abstract Expressionism has been mythologized through the figure of the heroic male painter, yet at the movement’s formation, its members were far more plural than later histories would suggest. This presentation further corrects the art historical record, demonstrating that women artists were always active participants in Abstract Expressionism and that these artists are not new discoveries but long-overdue acknowledgments.

East of the Pacific: Making Histories of Asian American Art explores how the migration of people across the Pacific Ocean, from Asia to the United States, has profoundly shaped our nation’s cultural and artistic landscape. By reframing the geography of the U.S. as not only west of the Atlantic but also east of the Pacific, the exhibition shifts our perception of American art and its key contributors, revealing histories shaped by contact, exchange, and collaboration.

Berry Campbell is pleased to present an “In Focus” exhibition of Susan Vecsey. Vecsey has been recognized for her evocative paintings that often explore lyrical and poetic themes through nature-derived imagery. Her work is characterized by the subtle interplay of color and form. Vecsey has become widely recognized for her unique technique of pouring oil paint on to a textured linen.

This exhibition will run concurrently with the Po***ck-Krasner House and Study Center’s solo exhibition of Susan Vecsey putting her work in context in the home of Lee Krasner and Jackson Po***ck.

Berry Campbell is pleased to announce 𝙋𝙚𝙧𝙡𝙚 𝙁𝙞𝙣𝙚: 𝙉𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙝 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙩 𝙒𝙤𝙢𝙖𝙣, an exhibition of paintings by the pioneering Abstract Expressionist Perle Fine (1905-1988). Spanning the 1940s through the early 1960s, the artist’s most celebrated period, this exhibition explores an important but long-underrecognized artist from the New York School and a woman who stood at the center of Abstract Expressionism.

This is Berry Campbell’s third exhibition for the artist, and it brings together fifteen of her most rare, important, and coveted paintings and works on paper. The exhibition highlights Fine’s remarkable ability to balance gesture, color, and structure in a purely abstract language.

Fine joined the American Abstract Artists group in 1946 and was among the eleven women included in the landmark 1951 Ninth Street Exhibition, the groundbreaking exhibition that brought together the artists who would define the New York School. She was also one of the first women admitted as a voting member of the 8th Street Club, “The Club,” the influential gathering place for the downtown avant-garde.

Perle Fine exhibited extensively during her lifetime, including at Peggy Guggenheim’s Art of this Century, Betty Parsons Gallery, Stable Gallery, Tanager Gallery, and Graham Gallery. She is in numerous museum collections, including the Brooklyn Museum; the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; the Metropolitan Museum of Art; the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum; and the Whitney Museum of American Art.

Bringing together transdisciplinary works from across a 70-year period, the show centered on an approach that moves beyond the historization of graffiti as an “outsider” practice. Beginning with pre-graffiti spray paintings from the 1950s and 1960s, the exhibition unfolded through works by renowned graffiti writers of the 1980s and contemporary artists who implement graffiti into their diverse practices.

RECAP

Berry Campbell & Sargent’s Daughters: Leitmotif
Summer 2026

Yevgeniya Baras, Bernice Bing, Nanette Carter, Lynne Drexler, Yaron Michael Hakim, Gianni Politi, Carlos Rosales-Silva, and Lucia Wilcox

This collaboration also reflects a more personal continuity, as gallery owners Christine Berry, Martha Campbell, and Allegra LaViola are connected by a shared history. They first worked together over twenty years ago at Spanierman Gallery, a historical American art gallery, and have since forged successful careers as gallery owners in their own right. Leitmotif marks a renewed partnership grounded in shared history, admiration, and mutual respect. Bringing together artists from Berry Campbell and Sargent’s Daughters, the exhibition pairs contemporary artists with those who came before them to illuminate lines of shared influence. Leitmotif is a testament to the enduring relationships between artists and gallerists that shape and sustain the art world.
