TORRANCE, CA (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Sculptor Daniel Edwards, who recently held a controversial exhibition at New York’s First Street Gallery, that made the front page of the NY Times arts section, and raised the eyebrows of sports fans because of Ted Williams’ “Death Mask” is the featured guest on the latest Send2Press entertainment Podcast.

Williams’ actual head is stored in a metal container filled with liquid nitrogen in Scottsdale, Arizona’s Alcor Life Extension Foundation, which claims to be the most advanced cryonics service in the world. Edwards gained some notoriety for the exhibit because some mistakenly believed the death mask was a casting from the actual frozen head of Ted Williams.
