Melvin Edward’s For Giza (1991) is among several works by the late artist held in the Studio Museum’s collection. This work’s title references Giza, the nile metropolis famed for its three pyramids and the sphinx. Like the latter feat, the abstraction of this lithograph offers an intriguing visual riddle.
