Beverly Pepper

the long version

Beverly Pepper has long been internationally known for her cast-iron, stainless steel, and Cor-ten steel sculptures of colossal scale and immense power. Since the 1970s, she has also made landscapes that exert a spiritual force, transcending artistic style. Examining three site-specific sculptures created by Pepper between 1989 and 1996, art historian Barbara Rose documents the development of Pepper's designs on the land, exploring both their resonance with their locales and their timeless quality.
