Melvin Edwards, including never-before exhibited works
DALLAS, Texas – The Nasher Sculpture Center announces the exhibition Melvin Edwards: Five Decades,
a retrospective of the renowned American sculptor. Melvin Edwards’s career spans crucial periods of upheaval and
change in American culture and society, and his sculpture provides a
critical bridge between modernist techniques and materials and
contemporary approaches to the art object. In 1988, New York Times critic
Michael Brenson lauded Edwards as “one of the best American sculptors… one of the least known.” Over the past five decades, Edwards has
produced a remarkable body of work redefining the modernist tradition of
welded sculpture.
