Bedford Sentinels, Bronze sculpture at Stanford University, US
The Bedford Sentinels are three abstract bronze sculptures standing at the intersection of Serra and Galvez Streets on Stanford University's campus. They vary in height and form, creating a visual rhythm with the surrounding landscape.
The sculptures were donated to Stanford University by Peter and Kirsten Bedford and added to the campus outdoor art collection. This gift expanded the university's commitment to displaying contemporary works on its grounds.
The sculptures are by Beverly Pepper and show her approach to abstract form and bronze material. They stand as part of Stanford University's effort to make contemporary art visible to students and visitors across the campus.
The installation is open year-round and accessible from multiple pathways across campus. Walk to the intersection of Serra and Galvez Streets to reach the sculptures easily.
The three sculptures function as a gathering point where students and visitors naturally meet and pause. Their placement at a busy intersection makes them a central anchor for campus events and everyday foot traffic.
