The Whitney Museum of American Art’s ‘Edges of Ailey’ exhibition is a feast for the senses. Occupying the museum’s entire fifth floor, the show brings together hundreds of objects—paintings, drawings, photographs, videos, archival material, journal entries, and more—in tribute to Alvin Ailey, the late titan of modern dance whose influence on Black American culture is still deeply felt today.
