Beverly Pepper — Open Trapezium Altar II
Beverly Pepper

Open Trapezium Altar II

1987

A monumental sculptural work by Beverly Pepper, *Open Trapezium Altar II* features the bold geometric forms and commanding presence characteristic of the artist's steel-based practice. The open, trapezoidal structure creates a dialogue between solid mass and negative space, inviting viewers to contemplate both its physical weight and its symbolic resonance. Pepper's signature ability to imbue industrial form with an almost sacred, ceremonial quality is fully evident in this striking and contemplative piece.
