The international art scene is abuzz as Pace Gallery announces the grand opening of its latest venue – a breathtaking new space in Tokyo. This fall, art enthusiasts will be treated to an inaugural exhibition showcasing a selection from Los Angeles-based artist Maysha Mohamedi. This will be Mohamedi’s first-ever solo show in Asia, followed by New York sculptor Arlene Shechet’s first solo show in Japan, commencing in November.
The Grand Opening: Celebrating the New Age of Artistry
Pace Tokyo will be unveiled to the public in September, highlighting new paintings by Maysha Mohamedi in the gallery’s Sou Fujimoto-designed space located in the Azabudai Hills.
