Pace Gallery operates three spaces in New York City, and others in California, in China, in London and in Paris.

In the 1960s, Glimcher and Irving Blum briefly operated a Pace outpost on La Cienega Boulevard in Los Angeles.[48] From 1995 to 1999, PaceWildenstein had a gallery in Beverly Hills, designed by architect Charles Gwathmey.[49][50]

From 1965 to 1982, Eva Glimcher maintained a Pace Gallery in Columbus, Ohio, downtown on Broad Street. After her death, the branch closed, with nobody to carry on her work.[51]

From 2008 until 2019, PaceWildenstein – and later Pace – maintained a 22,000 square feet (2,000 square metres) space gallery in the Factory 798 District of Beijing, China; it was the first major Manhattan art gallery with a presence in the city.[52] It opened in 2008, to coincide with the Summer Olympics in the city.[53] Under the direction of its president, Leng Lin, Pace Beijing showed a mixture of American, European, and Asian artists.[54]

Since 2012, Pace has been occupying the 9,000 square feet (840 square metres) west wing of the Royal Academy of Arts's 6 Burlington Gardens building in London, beginning with an exhibition that juxtaposed late paintings by Mark Rothko with photographs by Hiroshi Sugimoto.[55]

In April 2014, Pace used the former Tesla Motors building in Menlo Park, California as a 25,000 square feet (2,300 square metres) temporary exhibition space.[49] It later opened a permanent gallery in downtown Palo Alto in 2016.

Also in 2014, Pace operated a temporary space in Chesa Büsin, a historic 12th century house in Zuoz, Switzerland.[56] In 2018, it opened a permanent 3,700 square feet (340 square metres) gallery in Geneva.[57]

In 2019, Pace is scheduled to open its newest space, designed by Bonetti/Kozerski Architecture, spanning eight stories across 70,000 square feet (6,500 square metres) — 10,000 square feet (930 square metres) of which are outdoor exhibition space.[58] In addition to exhibitions, the building will feature Pace Live, a multidisciplinary program of music, dance, film and conversation with a full-time curatorial director at the helm.[59]

Pace is a partner in the Pace/MacGill, which specializes in photographs and is run by Peter MacGill.[60] In 2019, Pace/MacGill closed its standalone space at 32 East 57th Street after four decades to consolidate with Pace’s headquarters at 540 West 25th Street.[61]

Over the course of its first 50 years, Pace was involved in releasing some 450 catalogues for its shows and artists.[62] In January 2009, PaceWildenstein announced plans for an independent publishing company called Artifex press, dedicated to the creation of online artists' catalogues raisonnés.[63] In 2015, the company launched a unit specifically for digital catalogues raisonnés.[64]

In 2016, London art dealer James Mayor filed a lawsuit against Arne Glimcher and the Agnes Martin catalogue raisonné committee, arguing that they had hurt the value of 13 works of Martin he sold after they decided not to include them in their catalogue.[65] The New York Supreme Court dismissed the lawsuit in 2018.[66]
