Pace is a leading international art gallery representing some of the most influential artists and estates of the 20th and 21st centuries, founded by Arne Glimcher in 1960. Holding decades-long relationships with Alexander Calder, Jean Dubuffet, Agnes Martin, Louise Nevelson, and Mark Rothko, Pace has a unique history that can be traced to its early support of artists central to the Abstract Expressionist and Light and Space movements. Now in its seventh decade, under the leadership of CEO Marc Glimcher and President Samanthe Rubell, the gallery continues to nurture its longstanding relationships with its legacy artists and estates while also making an investment in the careers of contemporary artists, including Torkwase Dyson, Loie Hollowell, Robert Nava, Adam Pendleton, and Marina Perez Simão. Pace advances its mission to support its artists and share their visionary work with audiences and collectors around the world through its exhibitions of both 20th century and contemporary art and scholarly projects from its imprint Pace Publishing. Today, the gallery has eight public locations globally, including New York, Los Angeles, London, Berlin, Seoul, and Tokyo, as well as private offices in Beijing, Hong Kong, and Geneva.
