Pace CEO Marc Glimcher expands gallery network and launches Superblue centers amid staff departures

Marc Glimcher, CEO and president of Pace, oversaw significant gallery expansion in 2023 with a new 1,020sqm London space and an expanded Seoul location, adding to existing properties in New York, East Hampton, the West Coast, Hong Kong, and Geneva. Together with former Pace London president Mollie Dent-Brocklehurst, he launched Superblue immersive art centers in Miami and London, institutionalizing their cofounded concept that previously attracted over 25,000 visitors in itinerant form. These centers feature installations by artists including A.A. Murakami and Es Devlin. Glimcher also established an NFT platform and began accepting cryptocurrency payments, strategies reportedly influencing Jeff Koons's decision to join Pace. The year presented challenges with the March departure of senior staffers Douglas Baxter and Susan Dunne following bullying allegations.
