Pace Gallery

Announcing the inaugural exhibition at Die Tankstelle in #Berlin: "Reverse Alchemy" brings together works on paper by three artists of different generations who have transgressed the language of figuration: #JeanDubuffet, #JeanMichelBasquiat, and #RobertNava. Anchored in Dubuffet’s “anti-cultural” celebration of art brut, this exhibition focuses on the medium of paper to explore how these artists perform a reverse alchemy, transmuting the gilded surfaces of “high art” back into its base elements—the raw, crude, and unhewn matter of mark-making—dismantling and exploding the figure in the act of rendering it. On view from May 2 through June 14, 2025 "Reverse Alchemy" coincides with Gallery Weekend Berlin, and begins our new chapter in the city by reflecting on the outsized and profound influence of Dubuffet on both the history of art and the shape of contemporary practice. In a concurrent, complementary presentation, Galerie Judin will present an exhibition dedicated to Tom of Finland, an artist whose practice similarly challenged the distinctions between high and low art.

Works by #PeterHujar and #KikiSmith are featured in "A Rose Is," an expansive group exhibition at FLAG Art Foundation in #NewYork that examines the ubiquity and multivalent meaning of the rose throughout art history and visual culture. Equal parts glamorous and devastating is Peter Hujar’s photograph "Candy Darling on her Deathbed" (1973), made at the performer’s invitation on the occasion of her inevitable passing due to terminal illness. Surrounded by lavish flower arrangements—as if in her dressing room after a show—Darling is recumbent under dramatic lighting, wrapped in hospital bed sheets, her make-up just so, with a single long-stem red rose lying next to her failing body. Swipe to read a reflection on Hujar's photograph by Pace staff member Eli Coggin. Visit the Women's History Month tab at the link in our bio to read more reflections from staff members across the globe on art that has impacted them.

Watch now: Pace artist Leo Villareal discusses How light and code can transform a city in the artist's new TED Talk: https://lnkd.in/eRKXrhWr Leo Villareal is an artist, but his tools aren't paint and canvas; he manipulates light, color and computer code to create monumental works of public art. In a dazzling talk, he takes us inside his efforts to light up some of the world's most iconic bridges — including an installation of 25,000 LED lights on San Francisco's Bay Bridge and a piece uniting nine bridges along London's River Thames — and shows how public art can transform a city.

Opening tonight at #PaceNewYork: Kylie Manning's debut exhibition with us in New York, "There is something that stays," presents ten new, never-before-seen paintings of various sizes, including intimately scaled works and monumental triptychs. - 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. - The opening reception for "There is something that stays" is this evening, March 13, 2025 from 6–8pm ET at our 510 West 25th Street gallery. The exhibition continues down the block on the third floor of our 540 West 25th Street flagship.

JoAnn Verburg's "Looking into Italy" (2019) has been acquired by The Walker Art Center after her moving exhibition "Aftershocks," which ran from August 24, 2024 - January 12, 2025. In 2016, while working in Spoleto, Italy, Verburg experienced three major earthquakes. The aftershocks, which continued for months, unnerved her. With parts of buildings still falling around her, she couldn’t shake a sense of impending catastrophe. Her anxieties were enhanced by the major events that followed, from the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis to the global pandemic. For Verburg, as for so many others, the world felt dangerously out of balance. Learn more about JoAnn Verburg, including an overview of her recent exhibitions, on our website: https://lnkd.in/eyAbsRQM
