The New York Art Book Fair

Pace Publishing’s booth (#J3) will spotlight new and recent titles released between 2022 and 2025, including publications highlighting the practices of Alexander Calder, Nigel Cooke, Pam Evelyn, Robert Frank, Adam Pendleton, and Joel Shapiro, along with signed editions by David Byrne, Maysha Mohamedi, Kohei Nawa, and Paolo Roversi. On the occasion of the fair, Pace Publishing has also created its first-ever, limited-edition artist tote bag, featuring Yto Barrada’s artwork How to Pronounce Artists' Names (2019).

For over six decades, Pace Gallery has been publishing books in collaboration with and in support of its artists, establishing Pace Publishing as one of the longest standing gallery imprints and a pioneer in art bookmaking.

Over 500 titles have been created under Pace Publishing, with an enduring focus on original scholarship and innovative design, underpinned by a rigorous and creative approach. Today, Pace Publishing remains dedicated to working closely with artists, commissioning writing that introduces new voices to the art historical canon, and creating lasting resources for understanding each artist’s unique practice. Pace Publishing draws on the expertise of the gallery’s tenured in-house design team, who have been at Pace for nearly 30 years, to creatively direct every publication, as well as its in-house curators to identify leading thinkers in the field.

New titles from Pace Publishing include Adam Pendleton: An Abstraction (2025), featuring text by Pace CEO Marc Glimcher, and Nigel Cooke: Paintings 2019-2025 (2025), the gallery’s first monograph dedicated to Cooke’s practice. Among the other recent books available on the booth at the fair will be Alexander Calder: Un effet du Japonais (2024), Pace Publishing’s first bilingual title, produced on the occasion of a landmark exhibition of Calder’s work co-presented by Pace and Azabudai Hills Gallery in Tokyo last year; monographs on Huong Dodinh, Pam Evelyn, and Kylie Manning, all released in 2024; Robert Frank: Hope Makes Visions (2024), which features an essay by Ocean Vuong; Joel Shapiro: Out of the Blue (2024), which accompanied Shapiro’s exhibition of large-scale sculptures with Pace in New York last year; and Torkwase Dyson: A Liquid Belonging (2023), comprising texts and experimental writing by Dionne Brand, LeRonn P. Brooks, Saidiya Hartman, Jaleh Mansoor, and Mabel O. Wilson as well as a conversation with Christina Sharpe.
