During Berlin Gallery Weekend, Pace Gallery will host a pop-up exhibition by the Los Angeles–based artist Maysha Mohamedi, known for gestural abstractions created using fine lines and paint applied directly with her hands. The exhibition, titled “Mute Counsel,” will run from April 26th to June 26th at Mercator Höfe on Potsdamer Straße in Berlin-Tiergarten.
The event is part of Pace’s efforts to strengthen its presence in Berlin following the opening of a private office in the German capital in 2023. “This marks the beginning of Pace’s presence in Berlin, and there will be much more to come,” Laura Attanasio, the senior director of Pace in Berlin, said in a statement sent to Artsy.
“Berlin is a city that is not only accepting of new ideas, it encourages different ways of thinking and celebrates innovation,” said Attanasio. “Pace represents a number of extraordinary artists who live and work in this city, and many more from around the world who want to be showing in Berlin and connecting with its institutions and collectors. Our decision to establish a presence here emphasizes our commitment to both our artists and the singular cultural community that makes Berlin so important.”
“Mute Counsel,” which features nine new abstract paintings, marks Mohamedi’s debut exhibition in Germany and her second show with Pace since joining the gallery’s roster in 2022. The artist hosted her first solo exhibition with the gallery, titled “Gamebreaker,” in New York last summer.
