Among the remarkable works included are a selection of regional face vessels as well as masterpieces by enslaved potter and poet David Drake, who signed, dated, and incised verses on many of his jars, even though literacy among enslaved people was criminalized at the time. Essays on the production, collection, dispersal, and reception of stoneware from Edgefield offer a critical look at what it means to collect, exhibit, and interpret objects made by enslaved artisans. Several featured contemporary works inspired by or related to Edgefield stoneware attest to the cultural and historical significance of this body of work, and an interview with acclaimed contemporary artist Simone Leigh illuminates its continued relevance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished by The Metropolitan Museum of Art\/Distributed by Yale University Press \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (September 9, 2022-February 5, 2023) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eMuseum of Fine Arts, Boston\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (March 6-July 9, 2023) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eUniversity of Michigan Museum of Art, Ann Arbor\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (August 26, 2023-January 7, 2024) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eHigh Museum of Art, Atlanta\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (February 16-May 12, 2024)\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAdrienne Spinozzi\u003c\/b\u003e is associate curator in the American Wing at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.97 x 10.45 x 8.63 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 27, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51765813805344,"sku":"9781588397263","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/25bb57a46ab33d830468c74bd5da2c48.webp?v=1780280697","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/hear-me-now-the-black-potters-of-old-edgefield-south-carolina-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
