Plus, a terrible movie about Kate Moss and Lucian Freud, and honoring the giant behind “Persepolis.” - Author: Hyperallergic - Tags: Daily Newsletter, Newsletter Workers and artists at Pace Gallery were having a beer in celebration of the Knicks’ historic finals win, or just waking up yesterday morning, when they heard the news via friends, coworkers, even push notifications. The mega gallery is laying off 50 workers and cutting 50 artists from its roster. That’s about a fifth of its staff and a third of its artists. CEO Marc Glimcher calls it a “model correction”; I call it workers and artists once again paying for the boardroom’s bad bets. If you need an escape into a different but possibly equally stupid world, go see *Moss & Freud*, about supermodel Kate Moss and painter Lucian Freud’s tumultuous artist-muse relationship, filled with gems of dialogue like “paintings are very meaningful.” Better yet, read Eileen G’Sell’s wickedly entertaining review — I can promise you, it’s better than the movie. Also today, we honor Marjane Satrapi, the comic artist behind *Persepolis*, about growing up during and after the Islamic Revolution, who passed away at 56\. Her work is a lesson in the expressive and empathetic potential of drawing — and a reminder of why we in the art world do what we do, despite it all. *—Lisa Yin Zhang, associate editor* --- [![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/51/f8/51f871d8-b6be-4a73-b958-0ca4fff0110a/content/images/2026/06/pace-newsletter.jpg)](https://hyperallergic.com/pace-cuts-50-workers-and-50-artists-citing-a-broken-gallery-model/) [ Pace Cuts 50 Workers and 50 Artists, Citing a “Broken” Gallery Model ](https://hyperallergic.com/pace-cuts-50-workers-and-50-artists-citing-a-broken-gallery-model/) Just years after inaugurating its $100 million flagship building in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood and positioning itself as a leader in the crypto art space, Pace Gallery has cut 50 artists from its roster and laid off 50 staff members in what CEO Marc Glimcher characterized as a “model correction.” In a statement shared with Hyperallergic, Glimcher claimed that “the current gallery model isn’t only broken, it’s unfixable.” | Valentina Di Liscia and Rhea Nayyar [Read More ](https://hyperallergic.com/pace-cuts-50-workers-and-50-artists-citing-a-broken-gallery-model/) ## Obituary [![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/51/f8/51f871d8-b6be-4a73-b958-0ca4fff0110a/content/images/2026/06/marjane-newsletter.jpg)](https://hyperallergic.com/marjane-satrapi-persepolis-author-and-human-rights-fighter-dies-at-56/) [ Marjane Satrapi, “Persepolis” Author and Human Rights Fighter, Dies at 56 ](https://hyperallergic.com/marjane-satrapi-persepolis-author-and-human-rights-fighter-dies-at-56/) Marjane Satrapi, the Iranian-French artist, director, and author of the graphic novel *Persepolis*, has died at 56\.
