Balasz Takac reviews Lynne Drexler: The First Decade for Whitehot Magazine.
Takac writes, "In joined efforts, Sukanya Rajaratnam, Partner at Mnuchin Gallery, Christine Berry, and Martha Campbell, co-owner of Berry Campbell, are revisiting the oeuvre of Lynne Drexler to give the nod to a woman artist who has been marginalized for decades. The exhibition will bring a selection of paintings and works on paper the artist made between 1959 and 1969, including loaned works from public and private collections and those from the Estate of Lynne Drexler that have never been seen before.
At Mnuchin Gallery on the Upper East Side, visitors can see the works created between 1959 and 1964, including the immaculate Rose Nocturne (1962), marked by highly concentrated pink shades. Berry Campbell showcases the works Drexler made between 1965 and 1969, among them Smoked Green (1967), a painting that encapsulates how her abstract imagery moves toward more defined blocks of color."
