Beverly Pepper’s

Curvae in Curvae

A large rusted steel sculpture that takes the form of a curlicue on its side.
On view through October 2025
Museum Grounds

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.
