"Garapata," 1978
© John Keppelman
Painted aluminum plate, 10' h. x 7' w. Gift of Annie Dillard and Gary Clevidence, 1985. Working with an automatic method of cutting and folding paper, John Keppelman arrived at the simple shapes of this sculpture. Because these shapes suggested a sense of soaring motion, he named it "Garapata" after a dramatic California setting, a river and canyon which intersects with the Pacific Ocean which he knew in his youth.
