This location will feature focused recreations of some of the gallery’s most significant historical shows, including Pablo Picasso: The Avignon Paintings, 1981, one of the first exhibitions devoted to the master’s late works; The Sculpture of Picasso, 1982; and Coenties Slip: Robert Indiana, Ellsworth Kelly, Agnes Martin, James Rosenquist, Jack Youngerman, 1993. Exhibitions that illuminated the relationships between artistic sensibilities, such as De Kooning/Dubuffet: The Women, 1991; Bonnard/Rothko: Color and Light, 1997; and Mondrian/Reinhardt: Influence and Affinity, 1997, will be represented with rarely seen works on loan from a number of public and private collections. Other highlights include Giacometti’s “The Women of Venice,” reunited in New York five years after The Women of Giacometti, 2005, and Pablo Picasso’s Portrait of a Woman, 1910 (Museum of Fine Arts, Boston), a work integral to the groundbreaking exhibition Picasso, Braque and Early Film in Cubism, 2007 (made into the documentary Picasso and Braque Go to the Movies, produced by Martin Scorsese in 2010). Rare archival materials, such as letters and telegrams between artists, vintage gallery announcements, and historical installation photography will help bring the gallery’s rich history to life.
50 Years at Pace will be on view at 32 East 57th Street, 534 West 25th Street, and 545 West 22nd Street from September 17th through October 23rd. The exhibition will also be
on view at The Pace Gallery’s new location at 510 West 25th Street through October 16th.
Opening receptions will be hosted in each gallery from 5:30-9 p.m. on Thursday, September 16, 2010.
