art christine berry martha campbell gallery

Gallerists Christine Berry and Martha Campbell, founders of Berry Campbell gallery, have spent 13 years rediscovering and championing overlooked 20th-century female artists such as Ethel Schwabacher, Judith Godwin, Bernice Bing, and Lynne Drexler. They will present works by these artists at Art Basel Miami Beach for the second consecutive year, following a record-breaking $2 million sale of Drexler's painting at Christie's in 2025. The duo, who previously worked under Ira Spanierman, launched their gallery in 2013 and have since built a market for artists whose careers were marginalized by gender bias.

art arne glimcher pace 125 newbury interview

Arne Glimcher, the 87-year-old founder of Pace Gallery, opened a satellite gallery called 125 Newbury in Tribeca in 2021 after his son Marc, Pace's CEO, told him he would have to wait three years for a show slot. The gallery, named after Pace's original Boston address, operates under Pace's umbrella but focuses on experimental, scholarly exhibitions that often feature artists not represented by Pace. Glimcher recently mounted a Kiki Smith show pairing her 1990s paper mannequins with bronze birds, and he continues to take risks, such as funding a pond for Max Hooper Schneider's exhibition. Despite the gallery not being self-sustaining, Glimcher remains committed to supporting original art and connoisseurship.

Webster, who worked as Michael Heizer's studio assistant in her late 30s, has spent decades creating intimate, urban-sited Land art in downtown Manhattan, challenging the movement's reputation as a macho, remote, monumental practice.

Ambera Wellmann is preparing for two concurrent New York exhibitions opening on September 5, one at Company gallery and her debut at Hauser & Wirth's Wooster Street space. The shows mark a new joint representation model where the artist works with both a smaller, queer-focused gallery and a mega-gallery simultaneously. Wellmann's hallucinatory, collage-like paintings feature bodies, sex vignettes, and semi-mythic imagery, though she recently considered moving away from figuration due to frustrations with the "queer figuration" trend and its market co-optation.

art nathaniel mary quinn gagosian interview

Nathaniel Mary Quinn is preparing for his fifth solo exhibition with Gagosian, titled “ECHOES FROM COPELAND,” opening September 10. The show is inspired by Alice Walker’s 1970 novel *The Third Life of Grange Copeland*, which Quinn read twice and found deeply resonant. The works continue his signature style of fragmented, abstract-figurative portraits using oils, pastels, and charcoal, while also incorporating influences from Francis Bacon exhibitions he saw in London. Quinn’s practice draws heavily on his own traumatic upbringing—his mother died when he was 15 and he was abandoned by other family members—and his compositions evoke fragmented memories.

Marder, who co-founded an eponymous Bridgehampton nursery with his wife Kathleen—dubbed 'a horticultural MoMA' by the New York Times—has assembled a sprawling field of massive geological specimens across from the nursery. The rocks, some weighing 10 tons, are salvaged from development sites and quarries. Standefer, who purchased one of Marder's boulders for her birthday, discusses with Marder the ethics of placement, the personalities of stones, and the human urge to give new life to ancient matter.
