The following is from the Olympic Sculpture Park's Website:
One of the first sculptors of her generation to be captivated by the possibilities of industrial materials and geometric forms, Beverly Pepper achieved a cool objectivity in Perre’s Ventaglio III, which reveals no trace of the artist’s hand or process, but possesses the sleek appearance of a manufactured object. Light heightens the optical effect of the sculpture, whose surface reflects the surrounding natural environment, a striking contrast with the opaque blue enamel paint on the interior of each cubic form.
Born in Brooklyn , New York , Beverly Pepper has exhibited internationally, including one-person shows at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, Ohio’s Columbus Museum of Art, The Albright Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo , and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Since 1951 she has divided her time between homes and studios in New York and Todi , Italy .
