A dyeline design with added coloured pencil dated October 1980 marked, 'Stage 2, PepsiCo, Sketch plan, scale 1 inch = 50 foot'. This drawing shows the left-hand section of the whole PepsiCo site (RP/1/14/22/1 shows the right). As with RP/1/14/22/1, Page has added several annotations, including suggestions for planting.
This large-scale project at the world headquarters of PepsiCo Inc. was Page’s last major undertaking. From 1980 until his death in 1985, he made frequent visits to the site in Westchester County, 25 miles north of New York City, working largely on designs to harmonise the company’s substantial collection of outdoor sculptures with the landscaped parkland.
