Pace Gallery, Acquavella Galleries, and Gagosian are pleased to announce a joint exhibition of works on paper from the Donald B. Marron Collection, belonging to one of the 20th and 21st centuries’ most passionate and erudite collectors. The exhibition will be on view August 12 to 20, at Pace’s recently opened gallery, located at 68 Park Place in East Hampton village.

The exhibition will feature almost 40 works on paper, including sketches and studies as well as fully realized paint and pastel pieces — many of which are being exhibited publicly for the first time since their acquisition.

In a continuation of the three galleries’ partnership with the Marron family to handle the sale of the private collection of the late Donald B. Marron, this intimate presentation offers a glimpse into the estate of over 300 masterworks acquired over the course of six decades. Works on view range from early modern masterpieces by Henri Matisse, Raoul Dufy, and Fernand Léger, to nature studies by Ellsworth Kelly and an exemplary acrylic from Paul Thek’s final series; to contemporary pieces by Mamma Andersson, Leonardo Drew, Damien Hirst, Jasper Johns, and Brice Marden, among others. A focused presentation on Ed Ruscha’s typographic and image-based drawings and a selection of his inventive artist’s books will round out the exhibition.

The collaboration between the three galleries is the first of its kind, and signals a new way for families to handle the sales of their collections. The East Hampton gallery will be open to the public with a limited capacity, from Tuesday to Sunday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Pace is taking all necessary precautions to ensure the safety of visitors, including measures to manage the number of visitors in the space at any given time. Hand sanitizer and masks will be provided for visitors, as well. For details, visit pacegallery.com.
