Pace is pleased to present a new body of work by Robert Mangold at its 540 West 25th Street gallery in New York from May 9 to August 15. This exhibition—Pace’s fifteenth presentation dedicated to a new body of work by Mangold since 1991—will span the gallery’s second and seventh floors. It will feature paintings, including three multi-panel works, and works on paper created by the artist between 2022 and 2024.

This show is organized on the occasion of Pace’s 65th anniversary year, during which the gallery is mounting exhibitions of work by major 20th century artists—with whom it has maintained decades-long relationships—at its spaces around the world. It will be accompanied by a new catalogue, with an essay by Dieter Schwarz, from Pace Publishing, which has produced 16 books on each new body of Mangold’s work since his first exhibition with the gallery in 1992.

Mangold has been a key figure in painting since the 1960s. Exploring the fundamental elements of composition, he has created boundary-pushing geometric abstractions on shaped canvases that charted new frontiers within the medium. Mangold is part of a legacy forged with other major figures of Conceptualism and Minimalism, including his close friends Sol LeWitt and Robert Ryman and his wife Sylvia Plimack Mangold.

Mangold is a true believer when it comes to the force that can be exerted by an artwork without an obvious figural reference point, what he called ‘a physical power that creates its own reality.’
