Paris+ par Art Basel

In celebration of this landmark exhibition, Pace’s booth will pay homage to the Abstract Expressionist painter, whose estate the gallery has had the honor of exclusively representing since 1978.

On view 19 – 22 October, Pace’s booth will examine the legacy of Rothko’s artistic influence on the generations of artists in the gallery’s roster. The presentation will trace a line from Rothko to his contemporaries, such as Richard Pousette-Dart and Adolph Gottlieb, to some of the most exciting artists working today, including Torkwase Dyson, Kylie Manning, and Mika Tajima. Several artists from Pace’s contemporary program will present new work made in direct response to the presentation’s concept. Bringing together an array of practices that span painting, work on paper, light installation, and sculpture, Pace’s booth considers the vast reach of Rothko’s ideas around abstraction, color, and luminosity.
