Beverly Pepper’s Curvae in Curvae
2025-01-19 - 2025-10-31 | Amon Carter Museum of American Art, 3501 Camp Bowie Blvd., Fort Worth, TX, 76107, United States
Beverly Pepper’s Curvae in Curvae is the fourth installation of the Carter’s outdoor sculpture initiative, a program launched in 2022 to activate the Museum’s grounds. Known for her monumental sculpture, Pepper made history in 1965 as the first artist to use Cor-Ten steel, a natural weather-resistant material. In Curvae in Curvae, Pepper evokes growth and transformation through circular Cor-Ten bands. Gazing through the center of Curvae in Curvae, viewers see a reframed view of the land, inspiring us to meditate on our connection with the surrounding environment.
