Pace Gallery is closing its exhibition space at H Queen’s in Hong Kong later this month, with its final show—featuring Alejandro Piñeiro Bello—ending on October 18. The gallery chose not to renew its lease, citing that the location was no longer serving its needs. Pace will maintain its Hong Kong and Beijing offices and remains open to finding new spaces, signaling it is not fully exiting the city.
Emmanuel Perrotin announced that his gallery is relocating from K11 Atelier Victoria Dockside back to Central, Hong Kong’s business district, where it first opened in Asia in 2012. The gallery vacated Dockside on October 1 after six years, citing the need to better serve its community, enhance accessibility, and reduce operational costs. The move follows Pace Gallery’s announcement that it will close its H Queen’s location by the end of October, and comes amid a broader shake-up in Hong Kong’s gallery scene, with other blue-chip dealers like Lévy Gorvy Dayan also shuttering spaces.
