In celebration of #WomensHistoryMonth, we will be highlighting the work and achievements of artists and other major figures in the gallery’s history, from its founding in 1960 to the present.
“This month, we’re celebrating the many women who have shaped the gallery’s story over the past 65 years, from Agnes Martin, Louise Nevelson, and other pioneering figures of the 20th century to contemporary artists in our program—as well as all the incredible women who have been part of our staff, leadership, and community. Pace would not be what it is today without their voices and their creativity, contributions, and achievements.”
—Samanthe Rubell, President

There are just three more days to experience Paulina Olowska's multidimensional project, "The Mother: An Unsavory Monologue" at #PaceNewYork.
Set on the seventh floor of our 540 West 25th Street gallery, which features floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Chelsea skyline, this presentation is a bold reinterpretation of Polish artist, playwright, and theorist #StanisławIgnacyWitkiewicz’s 1924 play "The Mother (Matka)".
Over the course of the performance, three actresses have embodied different archetypal roles:
Nora Kryst (as The Witch): February 13–18
Myfanwy MacLeod (as The Artist): February 19–22
Monika Jac Jagaciak (as The Mother): February 25–March 1
Make sure to grab the printed pamphlet, produced by Olowska, that sheds light on the legacy of #Formism, formerly known as Polish Expressionism; Witkiewicz’s radical ideas; and Olowska’s reinterpretation of this historical material through a feminist lens. This pamphlet serves as both a guide to and an extension of the show, connecting historical contexts to the contemporary concerns that animate the artist’s practice.

Coming soon to #PaceNewYork: three new exhibitions will bring timeless, monumental, and deeply personal works by #JeanDubuffet, #KylieManning, and #RobertNava to the gallery in March.
"Jean Dubuffet: The Hourloupe Cycle" (March 13 – April 26) celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Fondation Dubuffet last year. It brings together a selection of important paintings, sculptures, and architectural models from public and private collections, including the monumental canvas Nunc Stans—among the largest paintings that Dubuffet ever created—on loan from the
"Kylie Manning: There is something that stays" (March 14 – April 19) is the artist's debut presentation with us in New York. Manning will present paintings forged in local minerals—tourmaline, calcite, and quartz—that pulse with the energy of the city and its people. In these works, she explores both personal and universal experiences of time, meditating on its rapidness and its inevitability. For the artist, this contemplation of time relates to her life as a new mother—particularly the ways that the brain is chemically changed during and after pregnancy.
"Robert Nava: After Hours" (March 14 – April 26) will span the gallery’s second and seventh floors, bringing together new paintings of various scales by Nava, including three monumental 8 x 13 foot canvases, and a selection of works on paper.

We're pleased to participate in the second-ever edition of MAZE Art Gstaad from February 14 – 16, 2025 with a solo presentation of new and recent works by New York–based artist Genesis Belanger.
The sculptures she has made for Art Gstaad explore the consequences of overwhelm, each work representing a mode of self-soothing that range from the quotidian to the hedonistic.
Belanger's recent practice has embraced formal reduction, exemplified in "Impolite to Look" (2025) which depicts various toiletries lined up in a bathroom cabinet. Inspired by overlaps between tromp l’oeil and Cubism, Belanger has cropped the view and flattened the picture plane by discarding with the shelves’ cavities altogether and rendering the cosmetics in relief. This pared-down approach sharpens the focus, allowing the artwork to deliver greater impact with fewer elements.

In this new film, Pace Founder and Chairman Arne Glimcher speaks about his decades-long friendship with #LouiseNevelson and discusses her impact on the history of art.
Interviewed on the occasion of Shadow Dance—our 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. "In the late work, there's that sense of ebullient freedom, ravishing beauty," Glimcher says, adding that her life and career ended "in a rapturous glory of experimentation."

Each morning during the first phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, photographer #RichardMisrach sat on the balcony of his apartment and watched massive cargo ships stalled in the harbor of the San Francisco Bay.
In March of 2020, Misrach and his wife, Myriam, reflected on what it meant to be in a partnership during this time of social distancing—and the role that art can play during a crisis—in our Artists Respond series. "My work gives me a way to address what’s going on, perhaps as a therapy of sorts," Misrach wrote. "On some small, personal level, I feel as though I am doing something."
The resulting photographs are now in Misrach's exhibition "CARGO" at #PaceNewYork, on view through March 1, 2025.

During the opening reception of Acaye Kerunen's solo exhibition "Neena, aan uthii" at #PaceLondon on January 14, 2025, the artist performed a selection of sound pieces composed to accompany her sculptural installations in the gallery.
In our new film, now available to watch on YouTube, Kerunen shares how climate-consciousness shapes her practice, and explores the radical possibilities of working in harmony with the seasons and the land. The natural materials in her installations—raffia, palm leaves, reeds, dry banana fibers, stripped banana leaves, sisal, and sorghum stems—root her work in Uganda’s heritage, natural environment, and the women’s communities whose livelihoods rely on these ecosystems.
"Neena, aan uthii" is on view at our 5 Hanover Square gallery through February 22, 2025.

"Widows of the Wind," #PaulinaOlowska's exhibition of paintings in dialogue with photographs by Deborah Turbeville at #PaceGeneva, can be read through the refractive distortion of a sheet of European winter ice.
Olowska has staged a tableau vivant which weaves together reflections on fashion, commerce, painting, photography, and the atmospheric forces that shape these realms. A dark, serrated floor installed five centimeters above the ground echoes Lake Geneva's reflective winter qualities, inverting interior and exterior space.
Drawing inspiration from Dehlia Hannah's "A Year Without Winter," Olowska symbolically resurrects the conditions under which Mary Shelley penned "Frankenstein" during the ‘year without a summer’ in 1816—also on the shores of Lake Geneva. Like Olowska, Shelley and Turbeville both created works infused with the environmental conditions of their making.
"Widows of the Wind" is on view at our Quai des Bergues 15-17, 1201 gallery through February 22, 2025. In February 2025, Olowska will present "The Mother: An Unsavory Dialogue"—her first solo exhibition at #PaceNewYork—a bold reinterpretation of Polish artist, playwright, and theorist Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz’s 1924 play The Mother (Matka).

Next week at #PaceHongKong: "Algorithms of Longing" is a group exhibition charting complex ideas, desires, and resonances in the Asian diaspora, situated in conversation with works that speak to post-Socialist and post-human longings.
Exhibition details:
Algorithms of Longing

Next week on January 14, 2025, #AcayeKerunen’s first exhibition with us since joining our program in 2022 will open at Pace London.
Titled “Neena, aan uthii,” the show will feature a new body of work that interlaces the living forms of knowledge embedded within Ugandan communities. The artist will activate the exhibition with a musical performance in the gallery during the opening reception on January 14, 2025.
Kerunen’s multidisciplinary practice—spanning visual and performance art, sound, film, movement, poetry, curation, activism, and therapy—investigates the impact of colonialism on African women’s artistry.
“Neena, aan uthii” will be on view through February 15 at our London gallery, located at 5 Hanover Square. Learn more: https://www.pacegallery.com/exhibitions/acaye-kerunen-neena-aan-uthii/
