The descendants of enslaved potter David Drake have criticized the Philadelphia Museum of Art after they asked it to return one of his works.

Drake, also known as Dave the Potter, often wrote verse on his pots at a time when it was illegal for him to read and write and surviving works sell for tens of thousands of dollars.

Other institutions including Boston's Museum of Fine Arts and artist Theaster Gates have returned works to the family already.

George Fatheree, a lawyer working for the family, said conversations with the museum were "cordial in tone, but noncommittal" and said the museum had not indicated if it intended to return the work.

A spokesperson for the museum, led by director Daniel Weiss, said its next steps were still under discussion, telling the Philadelphia Inquirer newspaper that at "this time, we are not able to discuss any further details."

A series of paintings made in a Mexican prison are among works going on show in London for the first time this week.

Sofia Bassi's exhibition at Pippy Houldsworth Gallery is the debut solo show of the Mexican surrealist who died in 1998.

It includes several works signed ELC for En la Carcel, which means in prison, made while she served five years in jail for shooting her son-in-law dead. One of her works is also on show on the gallery's booth at Frieze London.

The show is one of six London debuts picked out by HENI News to see in Frieze Week. Read more about them on our website here and on Instagram here.

Laurie Anderson will have the final word at this year's Venice Biennale.

The veteran American artist, whose work has been shown at the Arsenale throughout the event, will put on a "solo performance" combining "music, storytelling and video projection" on its last day on Sunday November 22.

It will bring the curtain down on what has been an intensely political biennale with Anderson, the widow of rock star Lou Reed, one of more than 100 artists who at one point threatened legal action against its organizers over their plans for the Visitors' Lions awards.

They said they did not want to be considered for the awards which were introduced after the jury for the traditional Golden Lion awards resigned saying they would not consider artists from countries whose leaders faced charges from the International Criminal Court, which was widely understood to refer to Israel and Russia.
