Pace Prints will open a new 11,696 sq. ft. facility in Los Angeles in autumn 2026, marking a significant expansion of its presence on the West Coast. Located at 1130 Seward Street in Hollywood, the space is conceived as both a production hub and public-facing gallery, strengthening the publisher’s long-standing collaborations with Los Angeles–based artists.
Designed by Murdock Solon Architects, the facility centres on a 6,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art printshop dedicated to ink-based processes. An adjacent 5,696 sq. ft. gallery will present prints and editions produced in both Los Angeles and New York, creating a direct link between the two studios. Pace Prints President and CEO Jacob Lewis will oversee both locations.
Rather than operating solely as a technical workshop, the new site is intended as a shared working environment — a place where artists can experiment, exchange ideas, and develop ambitious projects with specialist support. Los Angeles’ distinctive creative ecology, Lewis notes, is expected to shape the work produced there.
Over the past decade, Pace Prints has collaborated with many leading LA-based artists, including Ross Caliendo, Brian Calvin, Elliott Hundley, Alex Israel, Friedrich Kunath, Shio Kusaka, Spencer Lewis, Jake Longstreth, Hilary Pecis, Blair Saxon-Hill, and Jonas Wood. The expanded facility will allow these relationships to deepen while opening access to a world-class printmaking studio for a broader community of artists.
For artists who have worked with the publisher, the move signals the arrival of an important new resource on the West Coast. Hilary Pecis describes Pace Prints’ collaborative approach as one that continually pushes artists to reconsider materials and process, while Elliott Hundley notes the generative impact of working closely with specialist printmakers. Jonas Wood, who has produced multiple editions with the studio since 2019 across techniques including lithography, etching, and woodcut, points to the opportunity to explore new methods as a key draw.
The announcement coincides with Pace Prints’ first participation in Frieze Los Angeles, where it is presenting a booth featuring prints and editions by LA-based artists produced in collaboration with its New York print and papermaking studios, a preview of the dialogue the new Hollywood space aims to sustain. @paceprints
