An exhibition at Art'98, the London Contemporary Art Fair, was the first major showing of his work in London. Seyed Edalatpour was given a separate room to house a major sculptural work, 12 and the 13th (1997-98), an installation of thirteen heads carved in Portland Stone.
In March 1999 he was awarded the Millfield Sculpture Commission (Head 1999)for a new work in Portland Stone and in July and August the Atkinson Gallery at Millfield gave him a one-man show, which included sculpture, drawings and prints.
Head 2000 was his second commission which coincided with his current position as Artist-in-Residence and Art Teacher at Millfield Preparatory School.
"Circling the Square" was the title of his installation at Wolverhampton Museum in 2000. Since 1993 he has been regularly exhibiting at both the London and New York Print Fairs.
