Celebrating 65 Years at Pace

Throughout 2025, Pace is celebrating its 65th anniversary year with a series of exhibitions of work by artists who have been central to its program for decades. Presented around the world, these exhibitions are odes to some of the gallery's longest-lasting relationships with artists including Jean Dubuffet, Sam Gilliam, Robert Indiana, Robert Irwin, Robert Mangold, Agnes Martin, Louise Nevelson, Kenneth Noland, Claes Oldenburg, Joel Shapiro, and James Turrell. Over the course of their careers, these figures, with Pace's support, charted new courses in the history of art. Learn more about these shows and explore films, interviews, archival materials, and publications related to Pace's history on this continually updated hub.

Robert Irwin's Art of Feeling and Experience

This new film—produced on the occasion of Robert Irwin in Los Angeles, on view at our LA gallery through June 7, 2025—sheds light on Irwin's monumental impact on the California Light and Space movement. Here, Arne Glimcher, who maintained a close friendship with the artist for almost 60 years, shares memories of his early experiences with Irwin and his work, including the gallery's 1974 presentation of Robert Irwin: Soft Wall in New York.

Robert Indiana's Prescient Reflections on the American Dream

This film centers on Robert Indiana's critique of the American Dream—both its promise and its privations—through his work across painting and sculpture. Here, insights from Pace's co-founder Milly Glimcher, Pace's CEO Marc Glimcher, and Pace's Chief Curator Oliver Shultz situate Indiana's work from the 20th century in the context of America's political environment today.

Sam Gilliam and Kenneth Noland: Celebrating Color

Produced in conjunction with our presentations of work by Sam Gilliam and Kenneth Noland at our Seoul and Tokyo galleries in 2025, this film sheds light on the two artists' monumental contributions to postwar American painting and their impact on the global history of art, featuring commentary from Pace Founder and Chairman Arne Glimcher; Senior Vice President Youngjoo Lee, who leads the Seoul gallery; and Vice President Kyoko Hattori, who helms the Tokyo gallery.

Artists on Artists: Robert Nava x Jean Dubuffet

In this film, Robert Nava steps inside Jean Dubuffet's uncanny world at our New York gallery. Nava—whose New York exhibition After Hours runs concurrently with our Dubuffet presentation—speaks about the "play and obsessiveness" in the paintings, sculptures, and architectural models of the Hourloupe cycle, the longest lasting series of Dubuffet's career.

Films

Beyond LOVE: Rediscovering Robert Indiana

In this film, Pace CEO Marc Glimcher discusses the cultural impact of Robert Indiana's LOVE image, a globally-recognized icon that in many ways eclipsed his role in the Pop Art movement of the 1960s and the history of art itself. On the occasion of our exhibition of Indiana's work in Hong Kong—and ahead of another presentation of his work at our New York gallery this May—Glimcher offers a more well-rounded picture of the artist, his work, and his legacy. "This is Robert Indiana's moment to emerge out from behind the LOVE sculpture," he says.

Inside Jean Dubuffet's Alternate Reality

On the occasion of our New York exhibition of work from Jean Dubuffet's Hourloupe cycle, Pace Founder and Chairman Arne Glimcher recounts his early experiences with the artist in the 1960s and looks back on the gallery's first exhibition of his work in 1968. In this film, featuring rarely seen archival photographs and footage, Glimcher also sheds light on the significance of the Hourloupe—Dubuffet's longest lasting series, comprising painting, drawing, collage, sculpture, and architecture—in the context of the artist's practice. "The grotesque becomes beautiful, the beautiful becomes banal—the work is dancing," he says.

Arne Glimcher on Louise Nevelson's Experimental Late Works

Pace Founder and Chairman Arne Glimcher speaks about his decades-long friendship with Louise Nevelson and discusses her impact on the history of art. Interviewed on the occasion of Shadow Danceour New York exhibition of Louise Nevelson's sculptures and collages from the 1970s and 1980s—Glimcher also sheds light on the nuances of Nevelson's late works, in which she explored a new vocabulary of robust, muscular, and often minimal forms.
