In 1960, at the age of 22, Arnold (Arne) Glimcher founded The Pace Gallery in Boston, running it with his wife, Milly, and his mother, Eva.

[7] In the 1960s, Glimcher and Irving Blum briefly operated a Pace outpost on La Cienega Boulevard in Los Angeles.

[11] Under the direction of its president, Leng Lin, Pace Beijing showed a mixture of American, European, and Asian artists.

[19] In addition to exhibitions, the building features Pace Live, a multidisciplinary music, dance, film and conversation program with a full-time curatorial director at the helm.

[22] In June 2022, Pace Gallery partnered with the NFT platform Art Blocks, with the intention of each organization giving access to each other's collectors bases.

[26] In 1993, after sales had slowed following the art-market crash of 1990, Arne Glimcher agreed to take up Daniel Wildenstein's long-standing merger offer; by 2010, the Glimcher family paid $100 million to buy back the Wildensteins' 49 percent share in Pace's assets, including an inventory of several thousand paintings.

[32] In January 2009, PaceWildenstein announced plans for an independent publishing company called Artifex Press, dedicated to creating online artists' catalogs raisonnés.

[36] In 2020, an investigation by Artnet News revealed allegations that two presidents at Pace, Douglas Baxter, and Susan Dunne, had physically and verbally abused employees for nearly two decades.

Former employees said that Baxter had thrown a phone at one employee's head, and an audio recording revealed him telling the Parrish Art Museum's director that a woman who accused Chuck Close of sexual misconduct "should go live in Puerto Rico and be a hurricane victim, or starve in Haiti or Ethiopia, or be a bomb victim in Aleppo.
