Pace Gallery cuts 50 artists and staff; Penn Station redesign features Trump's name

other · 2026-06-10

Pace Gallery has made significant cuts, removing 50 artists from its roster and laying off 50 employees, a move described by CEO Marc Glimcher as a 'model correction.' Concerns have arisen regarding the Penn Station redesign, which prominently displays Trump's name. A fire in Long Island City forced two Queens artists to urgently save years of their work. The New School has terminated 19 full-time faculty and 68 staff members due to a $160 million budget shortfall. Starting Thursday, the Guggenheim will showcase Douglas Gordon and Philippe Parreno's film on Zinedine Zidane. Pride Month includes an interview with Jamie Nares by Senior Editor Di Liscia. Upcoming reviews feature Danielle Mckinney's 'Forest for the Trees' at Boesky Gallery and Sanford Wurmfeld's 'Squares 1971-74' at Ceysson & Bénéthière. Planned Parenthood will present a free immersive exhibition on reproductive healthcare on June 12-13. On June 15, NYPL will host a discussion between Hyperallergic contributor Alexis Clements and Tillie Walden about 'Charity & Sylvia.' Brooklyn Creative Reuse is organizing an art supply swap on June 13, while Art Retail Therapy in Jackson Heights will open 'HOP ON!' focused on NYC trains the same day.
