Pace: 65 Years

On View
Sep 9 – Nov 7, 2025
Geneva

Pace is pleased to announce the second iteration of Pace: 65 Years, from 9 September until 7 November, 2025, at its gallery in Geneva. This group exhibition will delve into the past 65 years of Pace through a changing display of works that situates the gallery's contemporary program in the context of its 20th century history, cultivating a dialogue between the past and present.

Featuring works by Yto Barrada, Beatriz Milhazes, Hermann Nitsch, Kenneth Noland, Arlene Shechet, Antoni Tàpies, Richard Tuttle, and John Wesley, among other major figures, this focused, thoughtfully curated presentation will invite visitors to learn about Pace's legacy.

In 1960, Arne Glimcher and his wife, Milly—while still students—founded Pace Gallery on Newbury Street in Boston, Massachusetts. Over the decades, Pace has played a pivotal role in advancing the careers of some of the most significant artists of the 20th and 21st centuries, from its pioneering support of artists in the Abstract Expressionist and Light and Space movements to ongoing collaborations with leading voices in contemporary art. In March 2018, Pace opened a gallery in Geneva—its first permanent space in Switzerland, where it has since presented 33 exhibitions by artists including Sam Gilliam, Loie Hollowell, Yoshitomo Nara, and James Turrell.

Several artists featured in Pace: 65 Years are the focus of major institutional exhibitions around the world this year, in addition to shows presented across the gallery’s global locations. This fall, South London Gallery will present Thrill, Fill, Spill, a solo exhibition of works by Yto Barrada—who will also represent France at the 2026 Venice Biennale—on view from September 26 through early next year. Mika Tajima, represented in Pace: 65 Years by a work from her Negative Entropy series, will open her first-ever solo exhibition in the UK at Pace’s London gallery on September 3, and in November, the gallery will stage a major exhibition of drawings by Antoni Tàpies at its 540 West 25th Street location in New York.

Throughout 2025, Pace is celebrating its 65th anniversary year with a series of exhibitions around the globe of work by artists who have been central to its program for decades—Jean Dubuffet, Sam Gilliam, Robert Indiana, Robert Irwin, Robert Mangold, Agnes Martin, Louise Nevelson, Kenneth Noland, Claes Oldenburg, Joel Shapiro, and James Turrell. This special run of anniversary exhibitions is an ode to some of the gallery's longest-lasting relationships. Over the course of their careers, these figures, with Pace's support, charted new courses in the history of art.
