Marking the opening of Robert Irwin in Los Angeles—the first posthumous exhibition of the artist’s work in California—this live event, taking place in the gallery’s courtyard, will bring Pace CEO Marc Glimcher, LACMA Director Michael Govan, and collector and philanthropist Jarl Mohn into conversation about Irwin’s legacy and his enduring impact on the arts in LA. On view at Pace in LA through June 7, Robert Irwin in Los Angeles features historic works created by the artist between 1960 and 1970, the most prolific decade of his career, and celebrates his many contributions to Southern California cultural institutions. Event Details: Saturday, April 5 4:30 – 5:30 PM Doors Open at 4 PM Location: Pace Gallery 1201 South La Brea Ave Los Angeles In advance of the opening reception from 5:30 – 7:00PM Robert Irwin in Los Angeles will be on view April 5 – June 7. Seating will be first come , first served. Please reach out to RSVP@pacegallery.com with any questions. Marc Glimcher has served as CEO of Pace Gallery since 2011, now working alongside President Samanthe Rubell, whom he appointed in 2022. Under his leadership, Pace has greatly expanded its international scope. Over the past ten years, with Glimcher’s direction, Pace has opened new spaces across Los Angeles, London, Hong Kong, Seoul, Geneva, and Palo Alto (which operated from 2016–2022), as well as an office in Berlin. In 2024, Pace began welcoming visitors to its new gallery in Tokyo’s Azabudai Hills complex, and this year the gallery will open a new space in Berlin. Glimcher has also introduced major international contemporary artists—including Torkwase Dyson, Marina Perez Simão, Beatriz Milhazes, Sonia Gomes, Elmgreen & Dragset, Adrian Ghenie, Robert Longo, Robert Nava, and Trevor Paglen—into the gallery’s program. Throughout his tenure, Glimcher has sought to upend traditional systems within the industry, creating a visionary model for collaboration. In February 2020, he spearheaded a collaboration between Pace, Gagosian, and Acquavella Galleries to sell the distinguished collection of Donald Marron in a deal that disrupted the precedent of auction house collection sales. He has also curated dozens of exhibitions, including Picasso: 14 Sketchbooks, 1900–1959, mounted in 2023 in New York; Seeing Picasso: Maker of the Modern (2019–20), the first monographic Picasso exhibition to be presented in the Bay Area in nearly a decade; and Agnes Martin: The Distillation of Color (2021) in New York. Michael Govan is the CEO and Wallis Annenberg Director of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). Since coming to LACMA in 2006, he has overseen the transformation of the 20-acre campus with buildings by Renzo Piano and monumental artworks by Chris Burden, Michael Heizer, Robert Irwin, Barbara Kruger, and others. At LACMA, Govan has pursued his vision of contemporary artists and architects interacting with the museum’s historical collections, as evidenced by exhibition and gallery designs, as well as programming in collaboration with artists and architects. Currently, the museum is in the process of building a new, state-of-the-art permanent collection building designed by Pritzker Prize–winning architect Peter Zumthor. Jarl Mohn is President Emeritus of NPR having served as CEO from 2014 to 2019. Previously he ran MTV/VH1 and E! Entertainment Television before a 16 year career in venture capital. He and his wife Pamela collect Minimalism and California Light, Space and Surface works. They recently gifted 300 works of emerging and under recognized LA artists to be shared by LACMA, MOCA and The Hammer in an initiative called MAC3, The Mohn Art Collective. ArtNews includes them on their list of top 200 international collectors. They live in LA. Information Source: Pace Gallery | eventbrite

Charles Gaines, an 80-year-old artist and educator from Los Angeles, is widely acclaimed for his contributions to the development of conceptual art and the formation of the Los Angeles art scene. This exhibition, the artist's first solo exhibition in Los Angeles since 2019, will present a series of new acrylics and watercolors as an elaboration of his iconic series "Numbers and Trees". Trees have been central to Gaines's work since the mid-1970s. He first painted trees through a numbered grid system in the "Walnut Orchard" series. This methodological experimentation continued in the "Numbers and Trees" series, which began in 1987, hinting at the arbitrariness of other manufactured systems in our society - such as politics, gender, race and class.

American artist Woody De Othello is known for his diverse artistic practices that span sculpture, painting, and drawing. Using a variety of media including glazed ceramics, wood carvings, bronze, ink, and oil painting, he transforms everyday objects into vessels of personification and spirituality. Upon entering the exhibition hall, visitors are greeted by three bronze sculptures composed of hands, ears, feet, horns, and speaker cones. Othello advocates for the collapse of boundaries between vision, hearing, and feeling. Just as Wassily Kandinsky linked color, music, and spirituality in his abstract paintings, Othello seeks to externalize inner emotions.

Louis Stern Fine Arts presents Gabriele Evertz: Colors Make Light, the Brooklyn-based artist’s first solo presentation with the gallery.Born and raised near Berlin, Germany, Evertz (b. 1945) identifies as a color painter, and wields her extensive historical and theoretical knowledge of the subject in pursuit of sensorially joyous outcomes. Despite a precise and disciplined methodology, which fuses the scientific order of the color wheel with the exacting geometry of angle and line, her paintings are not dispassionate in intent or effect but are instead deeply concerned with emotional response. The relationship between the painter and her canvas, and in turn between the painting and the viewer, is a private exploratory experience focused around the pleasures of being a living, sensing creature.

Xiao Jiang's oil paintings are mostly based on his daily life scenes - mainly landscapes and interior landscapes - and unfold the narrative through the silent language of colors and shapes. In the exhibition "By the Window", the artist continues his consistent method of transcending time and depicting eternal landscapes, while adding attention to the fleeting moment - the light and shadow of the moment flash by, but are captured by the picture.

From the bestselling author of Why We Swim comes a mind-expanding exploration of muscle--from our ancient obsession with the ideal human form to the modern science of this amazing and adaptable tissue--that will change the way you think about what moves us through the world. In On Muscle, Bonnie Tsui brings her signature blend of science, culture, immersive reporting, and personal narrative to examine not just what muscles are but what they mean to us. Cardiac, smooth, skeletal--these three different types of muscle in our bodies make our hearts beat; push food through our intestines, blood through our vessels, babies out the uterus; attach to our bones and allow for motion. Tsui also traces how muscles have defined beauty--and how they have distorted it--through the ages, and how they play an essential role in our physical and mental health. Tsui introduces us to the first female weightlifter to pick up the famed Scottish Dinnie Stones, then takes us on a 50-mile run through the Nevada desert that follows the path of escape from a Native boarding school--and gives the concept of endurance new meaning. She travels to Oslo, where cutting-edge research reveals how muscles help us bounce back after injury and illness, an important aspect of longevity. She jumps into the action with a historic Double Dutch club in Washington, D.C., to explain anew what Charles Darwin meant by the brain-body connection. Woven throughout are stories of Tsui's childhood with her Chinese immigrant artist dad--a black belt in karate--who schools her from a young age in a kind of quirky, in-house Muscle Academy. On Muscle shows us the poetry in the physical, and the surprising ways muscle can reveal what we're capable of. Information Source: Book Soup | eventbrite

In the tradition of classic collections of observations and musings such as Christopher Isherwood's I Am a Camera and Truman Capote's The Dogs Bark , Waiting on the Moon is a treasure trove of vignettes from a legendary musical figure whose career spans more than six decades and is still going strong. Peter Wolf grew up in the Bronx, a child of "fellow travelers" whose artistic inclinations influenced both his love of music and his initial desire to become a painter. Stories of his loving and sometimes eccentric parents complement scenes depicting a very young Bob Dylan as he arrived on the Greenwich Village folk scene. Reflections on Wolf's studies in Boston--where he shared an apartment with David Lynch--are braided with accounts of first love, an untraditional literary education, and early musical influences such as Muddy Waters. After Wolf joined the J. Geils Band as their front man and his musical fame grew, he rubbed shoulders with other notables who left significant impressions on him, including members of the Rolling Stones, Sly Stone, Tennessee Williams, Alfred Hitchcock, and Van Morrison. Wolf's marriage to Faye Dunaway is presented in a clear yet balanced and nuanced light. Told with gentle humor and often heart-rending poignancy, the word portraits in Waiting on the Moon provide a revealing glimpse of artists, writers, actors, and musicians as they work--the creative forces that drive them to achievement; the demons they battle; the patterns of their human relationships. They are meant to inspire not only empathy but also admiration. Like Isherwood, Wolf remains "a camera with its shutter open." Eddie Gorodetsky is an acclaimed Emmy Award winning television writer and producer who’s numerous credits include, to name just a few, Co-Creator of the TV show Mom, Co -creator of Theme Time Radio Hour with Bob Dylan and former disc jockey at WBCN with Peter Wolf.
