""I feel fortunate to present the works I will be creating under the guidance of a gallerist who, though born and raised in a different place, shares the same generation and the spirit of the era we both lived through-including its subcultures," Nara said in a statement. "I am also aware that this good fortune rests upon the many layers of good fortune that have carried me this far.""
""We are so proud of everything we have done for Yoshitomo Nara," Marc Glimcher, Pace's president, said in a statement shared with The Art Newspaper. "Looking back on our 14 years of working together, we would not do anything differently and as such this development is a little surprising, but we understand that in this environment things happen. We remain undying fans of the work and look forward to collaborating with the artist on future projects. We wish for a great relationship between him and David.""
Yoshitomo Nara is now represented by David Zwirner, which will stage his first solo show in New York at an unspecified future date. David Zwirner will collaborate with Nara's international agent, Equivalence Art Agency, founded by Joe Baptista. Nara had been represented by Pace Gallery for more than a decade, and Pace will continue to maintain a relationship with him. Pace's president Marc Glimcher expressed pride in their 14-year collaboration and goodwill toward Nara's new representation. Nara trained in Japan and Germany, earning a BFA and MFA and studying at Kunstakademie Düsseldorf.
