WHEN THE ARTIST Judith Godwin died on May 29 in her ninety-second year, the art world lost the last living member of a generation of women Abstract Expressionists, a group of artists largely overlooked in favor of their male peers. I lost a dear friend. My connection with Judith came about through our mutual friend Julie Lawson, a London art-world personality and assistant to Sir Roland Penrose, one of the founders of the city’s Institute of Contemporary Arts. Years later, when I was living in New York, Julie introduced me to Judith, who struck me as a delightful and irreverent Southern lady.
Berry Campbell is pleased to present its first exhibition of Edward Zutrau (1922-1993) since announcing the representation of his estate in 2019. After studying and reviewing this important oeuvre, the gallery decided to dedicate its first exhibition to his abstract expressionist paintings from the 1950s. This will be the first exhibition held of Zutrau’s work since his death in 1993.
Edward Zutrau: Mandarin (Paintings from the 1950s) opens at Berry Campbell, New York, on June 3, 2021 and continues through July 2, 2021.

The older was the Bloomsbury painter Duncan Grant, then 84. The younger, halfway through his tenure as the university’s first artist-in-residence, was Mark Lancaster, who has died aged 82.
It was, variously, an unexpected pairing. Lancaster, at the time, was painting works such as Cambridge Green, now in the Tate collection – resolutely modernist, grid-based acrylics, seemingly derived from American minimalism. The resemblance was not coincidental.
Five years earlier, while still a student at Newcastle University, Lancaster had gone to New York. While there, he had taken up an introduction from his teacher, the pop artist Richard Hamilton, to meet Andy Warhol. Warhol, captivated, offered the young Englishman both casual work at the Factory and an introduction to Henry Geldzahle
