Description

"Beverly Pepper : Sculpture in Place surveys the artist's remarkable career from the time she walked in Angor Wat a painter . . . left a sculptor to the present. It is a career of marvelous conversions and stunning changes: from expressive wood carvings, to works that embody carved wood and cast metal elements, to large-scale foundry sculpture. In the 1960s Pepper worked with Cor-Ten steel, then with stainless, and with stainless variously painted. Into the 1970s she created serene earthbound sculptures and massive cantilevered works. She also began to explore the possibilities of combining tough abstraction with mythically evocative primal forms that have culminated in a series of totemic pieces and urban alters. Pepper has fashioned art of concrete, basalt, the sandscape of a Florida beach, and the earth itself."--BOOK JACKET.
