Edward Marshall Boehm (1913–1969) was an American figurative expressionist sculptor, known for his porcelain figures of birds and other wildlife. Boehm apprenticed with sculptor Herbert Haseltine where he taught himself the ancient process of porcelain making. Boehm was accorded his highest honor in 1992 when a wing of the Vatican Museums in Rome was named in his memory. This was the first time in its 500-year history that one of the 13 museums in the Vatican was named for an American citizen, as the twelve other museums are named for popes and royal families.
