Bernice Bing: BINGO
September 12 - October 12
Berry Campbell is proud to present the first New York solo exhibition of Bernice Bing (1936 – 1998), a foundational figure among the Bay Area Abstract Expressionists. While she was largely underrecognized during her lifetime, Bing’s importance has recently been acknowledged on the West Coast through several museum exhibitions. As the exclusive representatives of Bing’s estate, Berry Campbell mounts a survey of work created between 1961 and 1996, bringing together seminal large-scale paintings and works on paper, many which have not been seen for decades. The exhibition is accompanied by a 72-page fully illustrated catalogue featuring an essay by the renowned critic and poet John Yau and a remembrance by Flo Oy Wong, cofounder of the Asian American Women Artists Association.
