125 Newbury is a gallery in Manhattan's Tribeca neighborhood. Founded by Arne Glimcher, it presents up to five exhibitions yearly, focusing on artists and specific aspects of their practice with historical depth.
125 Newbury is a project space helmed by Arne Glimcher at 395 Broadway in Manhattan's Tribeca neighborhood. Glimcher opened it to go full circle, back to being hands-on in every facet of making shows and working with artists—a deliberate return to the scale and intimacy he had running his first Pace Gallery on Boston's Newbury Street in 1960. The space presents up to five exhibitions per year, organizing shows of artists who inspire Glimcher and often highlighting a specific aspect or focused period of their practice. The gallery moves beyond the dealer model: exhibitions layer temporal depth—pairing David Byrne's contemporary drawings with Saul Steinberg's mid-century works to show artists separated by generations yet joined by wry humor and sharp observation, or taking the chair as subject across Lucas Samaras's fantastical constructions and Donald Judd's minimalism to reveal metaphysical questions about the body. Glimcher's curatorial eye pursues connections between practice and philosophy, not pedigree.
