The representation deal was brokered through Nara's international agent Joe Baptista and his Equivalence Art Agency. Baptista was previously a partner at Pace Gallery, Nara's longtime representative, and his departure from Pace had not been publicly announced. Nara was also long represented by Blum Gallery, which closed earlier this year after its final Nara show in Los Angeles. Pace Gallery CEO Marc Glimcher expressed surprise but said Pace will continue to have a relationship with the artist.
