Pace Gallery's newly opened research library at 540 West 25th Street, New York Library & Archives Agnes Martin and Arne Glimcher in front of the Airstream trailer enclosed in adobe © Estate of Agnes Martin / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York Mission and ScopePace’s Library is a non-circulating collection that encompasses over 12,000+ volumes of exhibition catalogues, monographs, catalogues raisonnés, specialized periodicals, artist books, and related publications that help document the gallery’s past and present roster of artists. At nearly 5,000 linear feet, Pace’s Archive is the single largest concentration of paper documents, electronic records, photographs, audiovisual materials, and memorabilia related to the gallery. The Archive’s mission has been to collect, appraise, organize, describe, preserve, and make available certain permanent records, regardless of format, from its founding in Boston in 1960 to the present. It also serves the scholarly community at large by promoting knowledge and understanding of the origin, programs, and goals of the gallery and its significance within the 20th- and 21st-century art world. Please note that Pace’s Archive is a corporate archive rather than a collecting archive. Although it contains some non-Pace generated materials from outside sources, Pace’s Archive does not collect the personal papers of artists nor the records of artist studios, estates, and foundations.
