A Historic Ownership Resolution

The MFA has reached an agreement regarding two stoneware vessels in the collection made by David Drake, an enslaved potter and poet from Old Edgefield, South Carolina. The Museum has restored ownership of both works to the artist’s known descendants, returning one to the family and purchasing the other back. Learn more about this historic agreement.

For more on Drake’s work—on view in the Art of the Americas Wing—watch the artist's fourth-generation granddaughters and grandson reflect on what his pottery means to them, and read an essay by author Charmaine Wilkerson.
