Pace Gallery is pleased to announce the third iteration of Pace: 65 Years , from November 7 until December 19, 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, Huong Dodinh, Latifa Echakhch, Louise Nevelson, Richard Pousette-Dart, Robert Rauschenberg, Kiki Smith, and Antoni Tàpies, 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. At the South London Gallery, Thrill, Fill and Spill, a solo exhibition of works by Yto Barrada—who will also represent France at the 2026 Venice Biennale—is now on view through early next year. Louise Nevelson is currently the subject of The Poetry of Searching at Museum Wiesbaden, on view through March 2026, and in January the Centre Pompidou - Metz will open Mrs. N’s Palace, a presentation devoted to her immersive approach to sculptural space. On November 7 in New York, the gallery will open a major exhibition of drawings by Antoni Tàpies at its 540 West 25th Street location . The Moon Watches the Earth—Kiki Smith’s first solo show in the city in six years—will open the same day at 125 Newbury, Pace’s project space in Tribeca, helmed by Arne Glimcher.

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.
