Editors' Note
The Eversley Collection is named for pioneering Black abstractionist artist, Fred Eversley. A Brooklyn native, born in 1941, his parents were Frederick W. Eversley Jr., a civil engineer who later built a multi-million dollar construction company, and Beatrice Syphax Eversley, a descendent of Maria Carter Syphax, a woman born into slavery and descended from Martha Washington through her father, the slave-owner George Washington Parke Custis. Manumitted by her father at 23, Maria Carter Syphax is remembered as the matriarch of the extremely accomplished and prominent Syphax family of Washington D.C., whose accomplishments range from Reconstruction Era appointments in the Virginia General Assembly to chairmanships of the Congressional House Ethics Committee, and the attempted impeachment of Ronald Reagan. Eversley himself followed in his father's footsteps with an early interest in science. He built a workshop in his childhood home, filled with radio and photography equipment from his grandfather, which he used to conduct experiments that he read about in magazines. Among them was an experiment first conducted by Galileo concerning parabola. Eversley's successful recreation of the process sparked a lifelong interest in parabola that would greatly influence his later work as an artist.
