Peter Sharrer, the Carlos Museum and another return to Italy

Source: Michael C. Carlos Museum


A fragment of a Wild Goat style plate was returned from the Michael C. Carlos Museum to Italy on August 29, 2023 (inv. 2005.026.001). 

Its history is recorded as follows:
Ex private collection, New York, 1976. Ex coll. Peter Sharrer, New Jersey. Purchased by MCCM from Sotheby's New York, June 7, 2005, lot 23. Deaccessioned by MCCM for repatriation to the Italian Republic, August 29, 2023.
This is not the only Sharrer fragment that was acquired by the Carlos (see here). And Sharrer's name has been associated with other returns.
