Berry Campbell gallery in New York is presenting "Across the Bering Strait," a comprehensive exhibition of the late sculptor Mary Ann Unger, featuring the full 34-part installation of the same name for the first time in the city. The show, on view through May 17, 2025, revives Unger's meditation on human migration and includes an interview with her daughter, artist Eve Biddle, who discusses growing up in a family of artists and her mother's legacy.
The exhibition underscores the ongoing reevaluation of women artists in the art historical canon, highlighting Unger's visionary contributions to contemporary sculpture that were overlooked during her lifetime. By bringing her work back into public view, Berry Campbell and the Biddle family aim to ensure that Unger's powerful oeuvre gains the recognition it deserves, reflecting broader efforts to correct historical biases in the art world.
