BASEL.- Pace’s booth will showcase its robust contemporary program in the context of works by its 20th century artists, featuring Lynda Benglis, Alexander Calder, Agnes Martin, Louise Nevelson, Claes Oldenburg, Lauren Quin, and Anicka Yi, among other figures.

The presentation will spotlight works by artists with ongoing projects in Venice, including Yto Barrada, Nigel Cooke, Torkwase Dyson, Lee Ufan, and Trevor Paglen.

The gallery is also co-presenting a large-scale, immersive installation by Torkwase Dyson in the fair’s Unlimited sector.

Pace announced details of its presentation at the 2026 edition of Art Basel. The gallery’s booth, #A7, will reflect the strength of its contemporary program, spotlighting works by artists with ongoing projects in Venice and fall exhibitions at its galleries around the world.

Among the highlights in the presentation are recent textile works by Yto Barrada, who is representing France in the 61st Venice Biennale; a new painting by Nigel Cooke, whose first solo exhibition in Italy, Nigel Cooke: Bad Habits, is on view at the Fondazione Querini Stampalia in Venice; new painting and sculpture by Torkwase Dyson, whose work is featured in the Venice Biennale’s 61st International Art Exhibition, In Minor Keys; a 2024 painting by Lee Ufan, whose solo exhibition presented by the Dia Art Foundation across eight of SMAC Venice’s galleries at the Procuratie Vecchie is an official Collateral Event of the 61st International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia; and a 2026 photograph by Trevor Paglen, who is debuting new multimedia work in the exhibition Strange Rules at Palazzo Diedo – Berggruen Arts & Culture.

The booth will include works by artists who will open solo exhibitions at Pace’s New York, Los Angeles, and London galleries this fall: Lynda Benglis’s reflective, coiling Everdur bronze sculpture Power Tower, 2019; Speed, 2026, a new bronze and lacquer installation by Elmgreen & Dragset; three new sculptures created this year by Arlene Shechet; a new large-scale charcoal drawing by Robert Longo; and a new painting by Kylie Manning titled The temperature of memory.

Dyson — whose monumental, immersive installation, co-presented by Pace and GRAY in the fair’s Unlimited sector, is inspired by the Great Migration and comprises steel, glass, and aluminum trapezoids — will also mount a solo exhibition at Pace in New York this fall. Through January 3, 2027, she is showing a new animated work at the 59th Carnegie International at the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh.

Pace will also exhibit works by Lauren Quin and Anicka Yi, both of whom recently joined the gallery’s program, on its booth at Art Basel. Quin’s 2025 painting Second Silk speaks to her interest in dynamic, intensely chromatic forms that explore the mutability of language and symbols, and Yi’s 2019 sculpture Releasing the Human From The Human reflects her ability to incorporate unconventional and unexpected organic and human-made materials in her works. Yi is presenting her first large-scale outdoor project, Message from the Mud, at Storm King Art Center in New York through November 9.

On its booth, Pace’s contemporary program will be presented in dialogue with marquee 20th century works: a 1976 hanging mobile by Alexander Calder; a 1984 painting by Agnes Martin; Night Sound, a 1964 painted wood sculpture by Louise Nevelson; and Soft Baked Potato, Open and Thrown, Scale A, 1970, a canvas and wood sculpture by Claes Oldenburg.

Across Europe, beyond Basel, exhibitions by Elmgreen & Dragset at the Städel Museum in Frankfurt, David Hockney at the Serpentine Galleries in London, Adam Pendleton at the Langen Foundation in Neuss, Germany, and Mark Rothko at the Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi in Florence continue through the run of the fair.
