Standing at an impressive height of 16 feet and spanning 25 feet in width, Passage is one of the largest sculptures in the world, carved from a single block of stone. This monumental work, honed from travertine, was commissioned early in Richard’s career and now serves as a prominent feature at the entrance of the esteemed Donald M. Kendall Sculpture Gardens at PepsiCo. This distinguished collection presents Passage alongside significant works by renowned artists such as Alexander Calder, Henry Moore, Louise Nevelson, and Isamu Noguchi, solidifying Richard’s important role in the legacy of modern sculpture.
