art arne glimcher pace 125 newbury interview

Arne Glimcher, the 87-year-old founder of Pace Gallery, opened a satellite gallery called 125 Newbury in Tribeca in 2021 after his son Marc, Pace's CEO, told him he would have to wait three years for a show slot. The gallery, named after Pace's original Boston address, operates under Pace's umbrella but focuses on experimental, scholarly exhibitions that often feature artists not represented by Pace. Glimcher recently mounted a Kiki Smith show pairing her 1990s paper mannequins with bronze birds, and he continues to take risks, such as funding a pond for Max Hooper Schneider's exhibition. Despite the gallery not being self-sustaining, Glimcher remains committed to supporting original art and connoisseurship.

Florence Bonnefous, co-founder of Air de Paris gallery, is profiled in a feature that traces the gallery's 35-year history from its founding in Nice with poet Edouard Merino to its current industrial space in Romainville, a northern Paris suburb. The gallery, named after Marcel Duchamp's readymade, launched with a legendary 1990 exhibition featuring Philippe Parreno, Pierre Joseph, and Philippe Perrin, and has since become known for championing underground conceptual and challenging art. Bonnefous is described as a preeminent gallerist-curator who prioritizes artistic integrity over profit, representing estates of avant-garde female artists like Sturtevant and Dorothy Iannone, and maintaining close bonds with artists such as Liam Gillick and Flint Jamison. The gallery is exhibiting at Art Basel Paris but recently withdrew from Art Basel in Basel over a booth placement dispute.

The shows mark a new joint representation model where the artist works with both a smaller, queer-focused gallery and a mega-gallery simultaneously. Wellmann's hallucinatory, collage-like paintings feature bodies, sex vignettes, and semi-mythic imagery, though she recently considered moving away from figuration due to frustrations with the "queer figuration" trend and its market co-optation.

Nathaniel Mary Quinn is preparing for his fifth solo exhibition with Gagosian, titled “ECHOES FROM COPELAND,” opening September 10. The show is inspired by Alice Walker’s 1970 novel *The Third Life of Grange Copeland*, which Quinn read twice and found deeply resonant. The works continue his signature style of fragmented, abstract-figurative portraits using oils, pastels, and charcoal, while also incorporating influences from Francis Bacon exhibitions he saw in London. Quinn’s practice draws heavily on his own traumatic upbringing—his mother died when he was 15 and he was abandoned by other family members—and his compositions evoke fragmented memories.
