Pace Gallery will open ‘Arlene Shechet: She Said She Said’ in New York on September 11, with an opening reception the previous evening from 6 to 8 p.m. The exhibition is scheduled to run through October 24 at 508 and 510 West 25th Street, and Pace’s announcement describes it as Shechet’s first show with the gallery in New York since February 2020.
The presentation will feature new monumental sculptures in metal alongside ceramics described by the gallery as intimately scaled yet equally powerful. According to Pace, the exhibition follows Shechet’s critically acclaimed 2024 presentation ‘Girl Group’ at Storm King Art Center, placing the New York showing in direct relation to a recent high-profile outdoor project rather than framing it as an isolated return.
Shechet’s exhibition is part of Pace’s broader September program in New York and Los Angeles, which the gallery highlighted in a newsletter announcing several fall openings across its US spaces. In New York, the gallery is also preparing exhibitions by Lynda Benglis and Torkwase Dyson at 540 West 25th Street, while the Shechet show is set for the neighboring Pace addresses at 508 and 510 West 25th Street.
The gallery’s announcement emphasizes the range of scale in Shechet’s new work. The metal sculptures are identified as monumental, while the ceramics are presented as compact works with a similar force. That pairing suggests a focus on material contrast and physical presence, both central to the exhibition’s description.
Arlene Shechet has shown frequently in major institutional and gallery settings, and Pace’s note underscores the significance of this return to New York after more than six years without a New York exhibition with the gallery. The announcement does not list additional works, themes, or installation details beyond the sculptural and ceramic focus, leaving the fall presentation defined by medium, scale, and venue.
‘Arlene Shechet: She Said She Said’ will be on view from September 11 to October 24, 2026, at Pace Gallery, 508 and 510 West 25th Street, New York.
