EssaysA Letter from Arne Glimcher"As I look back on 65 wonderful years of Pace Gallery, I am amazed and grateful for the extraordinary artists who have shaped my life, the adventures we have shared, and the marvelous projects we have realized together."Read Now FilmsClaes Oldenburg's This & That: Sculptures You Can HearIn this new series of films produced on the occasion of This & That—an exhibition of Claes Oldenburg's work on view at our Tokyo gallery through August 23, 2025—the artist's daughter Maartje Oldenburg discusses the themes and subjects that inspired her father’s lively sculptures. Here, she discusses the artist’s ability to use everyday materials to realize intricate musical instruments as animated sculptural entities. “Depicted in transition, the instruments imply sound while signifying through silence renewal in death,” she says. Stay tuned for one more installment from this film series, coming to our digital channels this summer. Read More FilmsHow Claes Oldenburg Redefined What Sculpture Can BePace Founder and Chairman Arne Glimcher recounts memories of his first encounters with Claes Oldenburg—with whom he would maintain a 60-year friendship—in the early 1960s. Oldenburg’s first solo exhibition with Pace, which took place in Boston in 1964, featured works from his sculptural installation The Store. Here, Glimcher discusses Oldenburg’s radical and uncanny ability to transform everyday objects into animated sculptural entities, and how the artist changed “the history of what sculpture can be.” Read More FilmsArtists on Artists: Hank Willis Thomas x Robert IndianaAs part of our Artists on Artists series, Hank Willis Thomas visits our exhibition Robert Indiana: The American Dream, on view at our 540 West 25th Street gallery in New York through August 15, 2025. Reflecting on his experiences of Indiana’s work during his childhood, Thomas discusses the layered references embedded in the paintings and sculptures in the show. With a particular focus on the “subtle political intonations in the work,” he takes us on a short tour through the presentation, sharing and discussing his favorite Indiana artworks along the way. Read More FilmsClaes Oldenburg's This & That: Animating the Ice Cream ConeClaes Oldenburg's daughter Maartje Oldenburg discusses the subjects and themes that inspired her father's lively sculptures. Here, she shares insights on Oldenburg's long-lasting experimentations with the formal possibilities of ice cream. With his depictions of decadent desserts, Maartje says, the artist engaged the viewer in "disguises of representational art." Read More FilmsJames Turrell's Art of Opulence and Light“It was one of those religious moments—it was an astonishing occurrence, a magic act,” Pace Founder and Chairman Arne Glimcher says of his first encounter with James Turrell's work some 60 years ago. On the occasion of The Return—Turrell's first solo exhibition in Seoul since 2008—Glimcher shares his memories of Turrell's early work and reflects on the evolution of the artist's practice over the years.

Read More FilmsRobert Indiana's Prescient Reflections on the American DreamThis 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. Read More FilmsSam Gilliam and Kenneth Noland: Celebrating ColorProduced 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. Read More FilmsArtists on Artists: Robert Nava x Jean DubuffetIn 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. Read More FilmsBeyond LOVE: Rediscovering Robert IndianaIn 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. Read More FilmsInside Jean Dubuffet's Alternate RealityOn 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. Read More FilmsArne Glimcher on Louise Nevelson's Experimental Late WorksPace Founder and Chairman Arne Glimcher speaks about his decades-long friendship with Louise Nevelson and discusses her impact on the history of art.
