This striking gestural abstract work is signed and dated 1961, placing it squarely in Beverly Pepper's transitional period as she moved from painting toward the sculptural forms that would define her later career. Pepper exhibited internationally and her works are held in major museum collections, making an early signed and dated painting like this a compelling find for collectors of American Abstract Expressionism and mid-century art. The bold sumi-ink-like brushwork against a warm gold ground has striking presence and would anchor any collection focused on postwar American abstraction.
