It’s appropriate that Marc Glimcher go up this year. After all, the Pace Gallery did take on representation of the de Kooning estate (from Gagosian, no less), which was nicely timed with the major – major – retrospective of the artist at MoMA; the London showroom is on schedule to open soon; more Chelsea real estate was purchased adjacent to the gallery’s newest space, on 25th Street, which will soon squeeze into the empty lot (just as David Byrne’s big squishy globe, the project that inaugurated the land deal, did back in September); and in a unilateral bid to reverse the US trade deficit, Sterling Ruby, a cornerstone of Pace’s rejuvenation programme, wraps up a major show this month at the gallery’s monster space in Beijing. Up indeed.
