About

Why this artist matters now

Edmund de Waal is a British ceramicist and writer whose practice centers on porcelain, particularly the making of groups of small thrown vessels arranged in vitrines or architectural installations. His work is inseparable from his sustained inquiry into memory, provenance, and the weight of objects as carriers of history. He is also the author of 'The Hare with Amber Eyes', a memoir that brought his thinking about objects and inheritance to a wide literary audience. His installations have been shown at institutions including the British Museum.
