Printed Matter's Virtual Art Book Fair

Pace Publishing is pleased to participate in Printed Matter’s inaugural Virtual Art Book Fair (PMVABF), on view on Printed Matter’s custom-built digital platform February 25–28, 2021.

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 draws on the expertise of its 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 curatorial team to identify the leading thinkers in the field.

Pace’s illustrious publishing history includes the first English-language publication on Jean Dubuffet with a text by art historian and Pace Gallery co-founder Mildred Glimcher, one-of-a-kind artists' books such as Kiki Smith’s The Fourth Day: Destruction of Birds (1997) and Yto Barrada’s Tree Identification for Beginners (2017), which was awarded one of the Most Beautiful Swiss Books of 2018 by the Swiss Office of Culture, and sought-after titles made to complement seminal exhibitions, such as Mark Rothko: Paintings 1948–1969 (1983) and Grids: Format and Image in 20th Century Art (1978), which features a text by renowned art theorist Rosalind Krauss.
