Melvin Edwards: Five Decades

The exhibition includes a broad selection of Lynch Fragments, a series that continues through the 50 years of his work.  While the early examples draw from American history (from civil rights to Vietnam), many of his later Lynch Fragments reflect his experiences of traveling in Africa and working with African metalsmiths and artists. Major large-scale sculptures of the 1960s, such as Chaino, The Lifted X, and August the Squared Fire, as well as his Rockers of the 1970s, which incorporate movement and, in some cases, sound are also included in the exhibition.
The museum is closed Mondays, major holidays, and in August.
Hours for Saturdays and Sundays: Noon to 5pm
