Lucia Wilcox at Berry Campbell

Throughout WAAWWorld Week and Beyond (Hours: Tuesday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.)

As part of the WAAW Week programme, the work of Lucia Wilcox is on view at Berry Campbell Gallery in New York City. An important yet often overlooked figure in American Postwar and Contemporary art, Wilcox was born in 1901 and worked during a time of seismic shifts in modern painting. Her practice is marked by a quiet intensity, balancing gestural abstraction with compositional restraint.

Wilcox’s paintings invite close attention, offering a nuanced interplay of colour, texture, and form. Though she remained somewhat under the radar during her lifetime, her contributions have increasingly drawn recognition, with institutions and collectors alike reappraising her role in the broader narrative of 20th-century American art.

This exhibition at Berry Campbell not only showcases Wilcox’s singular voice but also underscores the gallery’s ongoing commitment to revisiting and reviving the legacies of historically significant women artists. The show remains on view during and beyond WAAW World Week, offering a valuable opportunity to engage with Wilcox’s quietly radical vision.
