It was a busy year for Pace, where Glimcher is CEO and president: it expanded its gallery in Seoul and opened a new 1,020sqm space in London, to join real estate holdings in New York and East Hampton, on the West Coast, and in Hong Kong and Geneva. Meanwhile, Glimcher, together with former Pace London president Mollie Dent-Brocklehurst, inaugurated Superblue centres in Miami and London, institutionalising the immersive art experience they cofounded and which has now drawn over 25,000 visitors in its itinerant form, here with the likes of A.A. Murakami and Es Devlin providing the crowd-pleasing ambience. Yet bricks and mortar are only part of the picture for Glimcher: he has also set up an NFT platform and will take payment in cryptocurrency, strategies rumoured to be among the reasons Jeff Koons joined Pace. This year wasn’t all plain sailing, though: in March Glimcher saw the departure of two senior staffers, Douglas Baxter and Susan Dunne, following bullying claims against them.
