Berry Campbell presents an exhibition of paintings by the renowned Abstract Expressionist painter, Perle Fine (1905-1988) newly acclaimed for her inclusion in the 9th Street Show (1951). Recently, Richard Prince chose Movement Left and Right (1947) from the vaults of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum for his curated section of the exhibition, Artistic License: Six Takes on the Guggenheim Collection. This exhibition at Berry Campbell focuses on Perle Fine’s Accordment Series (1969-1978) and includes several prominent examples that have not been exhibited since the artist’s 1978 exhibition at Guild Hall Museum, East Hampton. Inspired by the artist’s time on the Eastern End of Long Island during winter, Fine described her Accordment grid paintings as ”in tune with nature and the universe,” and through them she expressed the underlying structure and order that superficial depiction often disguises.[1] Perle Fine: The Accordment Series (1969-1978).
