Carol Hepper

Carol Hepper was first discovered by Guggenheim curators in the early 1980s for sculptures derived from her childhood experience and immediate surroundings on the American Great Plains. Hepper was selected for a solo exhibition at P.S.1 in Queens, NY in 1982 and was consequently selected to be part of the significant sculpture survey “New Perspectives in American Art: 1983” EXXON National Exhibition at the Guggenheim museum. She moved to New York in 1985. Hepper has exhibited in museums in the United States and abroad and her work is part of private and public collections, including the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; the Museum of Modern Art; the Guggenheim Museum; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; North Dakota Museum of Art; and the Stedelijk Museum Schiedam, the Netherlands. She has received numerous awards and grants internationally.
