Our exhibition highlights two important Beverly Pepper works from the 1960s, which are among her earliest sculptures, as well as her later use of wood in her totemic plazas and Messengers from the 1980s.

"I was very lucky to see [Angkor Wat] in an incredible state. And I was haunted by it. When I got back to Rome... there were about 30-some-odd trees that had been cut down on the property... I started cutting up the trees. And the result of those cut-up trees was that I had my first show."
