Arnold Glimcher founded The Pace Gallery in Boston in 1960. In 1963, The Pace Gallery moved to New York City. Pace established itself as a major contemporary gallery at the start of the 1980s, adding artists Chuck Close and Jim Dine to its stable and representing artists from all periods of the 20th century. Around this time, the gallery began representing the estates of Ad Reinhardt, Pablo Picasso, Mark Rothko and Alexander Calder. Today, PaceWildenstein maintains three gallery locations in Manhattan and represents a stable of international artists and Estates. The umbrella of PaceWildenstein also includes galleries Pace/MacGill, Pace Prints & Pace Master Prints, and Pace Primitive.
Pace Beijing is being designed by Richard Gluckman, a famous New York architect. The bauhaus-style site is in the heart of the 798 Art District. Critic and curator Leng Lin, the founder of Beijing Commune, is the president of Pace Beijing.

Inaugural exhibition: "Encounters"
Pace Beijing’s inaugural exhibition "Encounters" features paintings by the following artists: Georg Baselitz, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Chuck Close, George Condo, Marlene Dumas, Fang Lijun, Tim Eitel, Alex Katz, Jeff Koons, Li Songsong, Liu Wei, Ma Liuming, Takashi Murakami, Yoshimoto Nara, Richard Prince, Qi Zhilong, Cindy Sherman, Wang Guangyi, Andy Warhol, Yang Shaobing, Yue Minjun, Zhang Huan, and Zhang Xiaogang.
“The exhibition is an assembly of all kinds of cultural power. Portraits are often a reflection of the most sensitive parts of different cultures in different eras. In the process of learning about art, Chinese contemporary artists begin with portraiture. This approach is very different from the traditional Chinese teachings. Since the 1990s, when Chinese contemporary art was forming its own cultural identity, portraiture has been held in the highest esteem.”
