Pace is pleased to present a focused survey of Tara Donovan’s work from the last 20 years at its Tokyo gallery. On view from May 17 to June 28, this presentation—marking the American artist’s first solo exhibition in Tokyo—will bring together sculptures and installations she created between 2003 and 2024.

Known for her process- and system-based work across multiple mediums and dimensions, Donovan began her career in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Drawing on the formal languages of the California Light and Space movement, Minimalism, and Postminimalism, she deftly manipulates and transforms everyday materials and objects—from buttons, plastic straws, Styrofoam cups, pencils, CD-ROM discs, and pins to readymade screens and Slinky toys—into shapeshifting sculptures, installations, drawings, and prints that explore the possibilities and limits of human perception. Her phenomenological works both use and misuse nontraditional materials, turning them into visually dazzling compositions without obliterating their fundamental essences or histories as objects from daily life.
