Education

Glimcher was born in New York City. He is the second son (his brother is neuroscientist Paul W. Glimcher) of Mildred “Milly” and Arnold “Arne” Glimcher, an art historian and art dealer respectively, who together founded Pace Gallery in Boston in 1960. He graduated from Harvard University in 1985 with a degree in biological anthropology, and from 1989 to 1991 studied biochemistry and immunology at Johns Hopkins University.[5]

Art world career

Glimcher joined Pace Gallery in 1985 as Associate Director, and was named President and CEO in 2011. In his more than 30 years with the gallery, Glimcher has bolstered Pace's roster of artists to include established artists such as Michal Rovner, Julian Schnabel,[6] and as well as rising artists such as Loie Hollowell.[7] Glimcher has also broadened Pace's representation of artist estates, including the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation[8] and Vito Acconci Studio.[9]

Glimcher oversees the gallery's global activities from its headquarters in New York City, including international expansion to Beijing,[10] London,[11] Palo Alto,[12] Seoul,[13] Geneva,[14] and, most recently, Hong Kong.[15] In 2008, Glimcher founded Artifex Press, the first digital, online catalogue raisonné publishing company.[16]

He has also curated a number of thematic exhibitions including Jean Dubuffet: A Retrospective; Je Suis le Cahier, The Sketchbooks of Picasso (1986),[17] the only comprehensive exhibition of Picasso’s sketchbooks; Mark Rothko: The Last Paintings; Earthly Forms: The Biomorphic Sculpture of Arp, Calder, and Noguchi; Alexander Calder: From Model to Monument; and Logical Conclusions: 40 Years of Rule-Based Art, for which he authored the catalogue essay (2005).[18]

Glimcher is married to Fairfax Dorn, the co-founder and artistic director of Ballroom Marfa. The couple resides in New York City.[19]
