Melvin Edwards features in New York: 1962-1964
'New York: 1962-1964' explores a pivotal three-year period in the history of art and culture in New York City, examining how artists living and working in New York responded to their rapidly changing world, through more than 180 works of art—all made or seen in New York between 1962-1964.
Using the Jewish Museum’s influential role in the early 1960s New York art scene as a jumping-off point, the group exhibition examines how artists living and working in New York City responded to the events that marked this moment in time. Works by Diane Arbus, Melvin Edwards, Jasper Johns, Carolee Schneemann and Andy Warhol are displayed among others.
