“I was thinking predominantly about the triangle, surfaces, and a greater dynamic in the ratio of weight to rise, to heft... There is no doubt large expanses and great swathes of time were in my mind in those years and affected the form. Dallas Pyramid is another that works against gravity.”
Beverly Pepper
Dallas Pyramid is one of a number of steel pyramids Pepper created in the early 1970s, most of which are permanently installed in public collections. The work relates to Dallas Land Canal and Hillside at NorthPark Center in Dallas, a large scale work commissioned by Patsy and Raymond Nasher that is considered the first commissioned site-specific land sculpture by any artist.
