New York, NY – November 9, 2021 – In collaboration with Gary Nader of Gary Nader Art Centre, Pace Gallery is pleased to present “Wifredo Lam: The Imagination at Work,” an exhibition of paintings, works on paper, and rarely seen bronze sculptures from Gary Nader’s collection, including a significant loan from the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, at Pace’s 510 West 25th Street space in New York.

The Cuban artist, who early in his career associated with major European figures in the surrealist and cubist movements, invented a radically syncretic visual language that challenged the Eurocentricity of Modernism. Running from November 9 to December 21, the presentation traces the artist’s career from the late 1930s to the 1970s, exploring the influence of Lam’s heritage in his art. The exhibition is organized by Nader and Pace’s Senior Director and Curator Andria Hickey with curatorial contributions by Dr. Michaëla Mohrmann, a scholar and curator of Latin American art.
