ART BASEL PARIS 2025

Pace’s presentation at the fair will be anchored by two early 20th century masterpieces: a 1918 Amedeo Modigliani painting and an important Pablo Picasso work on paper that was once a touchstone of Gertrude Stein’s collection.

The booth will also reflect Pace’s history as a champion of Minimalism, featuring works by key artists associated with the movement: Mary Corse, Lee Ufan, Agnes Martin, Robert Ryman, and Jiro Takamatsu.

Three small-scale sculptures by Alexander Calder, who will be the subject of an exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York this fall to celebrate the centennial of Cirque Calder, which he began creating in 1926.

New and recent works by Yto Barrada, Nigel Cooke, Huong Dodinh, Torkwase Dyson, Pam Evelyn, Adrian Ghenie, Alicja Kwade, Li Hei Di, Robert Longo, Robert Mangold, Kylie Manning, Mao Yan, Adam Pendleton, Lauren Quin, and Arlene Shechet will figure prominently in the presentation.

Arlene Shechet’s large-scale sculpture Dawn (2024)—which she debuted in her sprawling 2024 exhibition Girl Group at Storm King Art Center in New York—will be exhibited outdoors along the city’s Avenue Winston Churchill as part of the fair’s public program.Highlights on Pace’s booth at Art Basel Paris include:
