‘Berry Campbell was honored to be included for the first time in the 20th anniversary of Art Basel Miami Beach. The Survey section was an ideal way to introduce a solo presentation of works by an overlooked artist like Lynne Drexler. We had a flurry of activity and sold out our booth on the first day. The market continues to be strong for artists that were left behind due to age, race, geography, and gender.’Christine Berry, Co-owner, Berry Campbell (New York)

‘We have taken part in Art Basel Miami Beach since its inception, and it is always one of our annual highlights at Sean Kelly. This year the first day was remarkable.

The appetite and resilience of the market is unparalleled and extraordinarily strong. We sold to people from all over the world.’Sean Kelly, Owner, Sean Kelly (New York)
