Born in Alabama, African American sculptor, printmaker, and model maker, George Rogers was active in Detroit. Rogers was the first Black clay modeler for the Ford Motor Company. His many sculpture installations are prominent in the Detroit area, and he was co-founder of 'Gallery 7' a collective and gallery space that represented Black abstract artists for over 20 years.
