 "Navigating the Revolving Door: Beverly Pepper's Contrappunto"

In 1963 Beverly Pepper was commissioned to make a sculpture for the newly built US Plywood Building in midtown Manhattan. Here, she grounded abstraction in the revolving doors which framed it, thereby calling attention to the transition from public space to the realm of work and furthermore aesthetisizing corporate hierarchy for the spectrum of workers who would daily encounter it.
