Overview

Edwards’ career began in 1965 with a solo exhibition at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. Over the next five years three more museum exhibitions followed, including his groundbreaking presentation at the Whitney Museum of American Art, the first ever by an African-American sculptor. Since 1970, Edwards' work has been widely exhibited, establishing him as an iconic figure who inspired a younger generation of African-American artists.
