Milwaukee Art Museum Returns Two Jars to David Drake's Descendants
Original: Milwaukee Art Museum Returns Two Jars to David Drake’s Descendants
The Milwaukee Art Museum has returned two ceramic jars to the descendants of David Drake, the enslaved 19th-century potter known for his inscribed stoneware vessels. The repatriation adds to growing institutional efforts to return works by Drake to his family and to recognize his legacy as one of America's most significant early Black artists.
Why now: Museums repatriating artworks by enslaved African American artisans to their descendants is a topic of active public interest.
