iPace Gallery
Founded by Arne Glimcher in Boston in 1960, Pace has grown into one of the world's leading contemporary and modern art galleries. Its New York flagship at 540 West 25th Street, opened in 2019, is a purpose-built eight-story tower clad in matte-black volcanic stone quarried from Sicily's Mount Etna. Inside, six floors of light-filled galleries stage major exhibitions alongside Pace Live, a program of music, dance, film, and conversation. The gallery represents leading modern estates and living artists, from David Hockney and Julian Schnabel to Emily Kam Kngwarray.
