Exhibition Catalogue

“I create work to discover it. To make its acquaintance. To sculpt a space. A sudden, energetic space.”

Beverly Pepper

“I’m the first person—the first artist in America—to use Cor-Ten. US Steel said to me—because, you know, they liked me. I was this good-looking kid—‘Beverly, why don’t you try this new material we have. It’s Cor-Ten.’”

Beverly Pepper

“The bold emergence of the curve in Pepper’s most recent work reaches across time to her earliest sculptural endeavors... this is a bridled monumentality wherein movement breaks through the stoicism of the monument. It recalls beyond reinvention. This is lyricism earned.”

Joseph Antenucci Becherer
