Reclaiming David Drake: The Legacy and Restitution of Drake's Ceramic Art | KaleidoLA Lecture Series

This KaleidoLA roundtable brought together legal, art historical, and pedagogical perspectives to examine the legacy of David Drake (also known as Dave the Potter), an enslaved nineteenth-century ceramic artist whose signed works were often inscribed with poetry. The discussion centers on the recent and successful restitution of Drake’s ceramic vessels from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, to his heirs. This significant legal case has far-reaching implications for provenance research, restitution, and the recognition of formerly enslaved artists. Panelists include George Fatheree, attorney, LMU Loyola Law School alumnus, and member of the LMU Board of Trustees; Ryan Maroun, LMU art history alumnus and researcher on the Drake project; and Dr. Melody Rod-ari, LMU art history professor. Chair of Art History Dr. Kirstin Noreen introduced the KaleidoLA Speaker Series and moderated a concluding discussion and audience Q&A.
