Abstract

The Carol Hepper Collection documents the professional career and artistic development of American sculptor Carol Hepper (born 1953). Raised in McLaughlin, South Dakota, Hepper earned a B.S. from South Dakota State University in 1975 and gained national recognition when her work was included in the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum’s 1983 exhibition New Perspectives in American Art. She relocated to New York City in 1985 and established a career in contemporary sculpture, exhibiting her work at institutions including the Orlando Art Museum, Worcester Art Museum, Cranbrook Academy of Art Museum, The Phillips Collection, the Walter Art Center, and the Art Gallery of Western Australia. Her artwork is represented in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, and the Dannheisser Foundation. In addition to her studio practice, Hepper has served as a visiting lecturer at institutions such as Brandeis University, Princeton University, the Maryland Institute College of Art, Rhode Island School of Design, and the School of Visual Arts.

The collection spans the mid-1980s through the early 2000s and consists of materials documenting Hepper’s exhibitions, professional activities, and artistic practice. Included are exhibition catalogs, brochures, press materials, and digital media such as CD-ROMs and video files related to solo and group exhibitions at museums and galleries across the United States. Additional materials document academic appointments, artist residencies, and publications featuring Hepper’s work. Together, these records provide documentation of Hepper’s sculptural practice and thematic exploration of form, materials, and landscape, and offer a resource for the study of late twentieth-century American sculpture and contemporary art.
