  • The Artist Whose Secret Family History Became the Surprise Book of the Year
    London Evening Standard December 22, 2010 GAGOSIAN GALLERY The artist whose secret family history became the surprise book of the year David Sexton Life-changing project: Edmund de Waal, pictured at his Tulse Hill studio, feels "liberated" by his book’s success This time the Books of the Year choices came up with one stunning result. Sure, there were plenty of mentions for Jonathan Franzen and Candia McWilliam. But the clear winner among British writers was a new face — Edmund de Waal for his family memoir, The Hare with Amber Eyes, which tells its story via a collection of Japanese netsuke that has been inherited through the generations. The tributes were almost embarrassingly profuse. In the Times Literary Supplement, the book was chosen over and over again. For once, sisters AS Byatt and Margaret Drabble could agree — this was the book of the year. The military historian Michael Howard called it "the book, not only of the year, but of the decade ... a quite enchanting book, to be kept and reread by as many generations as it describes". This coup followed on from a complete set of extraordinarily acclamatory reviews when the book was published back in June. In this paper, Rosemary Hill praised the book for combining the charm of a personal memoir with the resonance of world history. In the Sunday Times, Frances Wilson said pretty definitively: "In the present literary climate of dumbed down, throwaway narratives, to be handed a story as durable and exquisitely crafted as this is a rare pleasure ... Like the netsuke themselves, this book is impossible to put down.

  • Edmund De Waal's Unfinished Business
    Intelligent Life January/February 2012 GAGOSIAN GALLERY Edmund de Waal’s Unfinished Business "The Hare with Amber Eyes" has become an international phenomenon. Fiammetta Rocco follows the author to Vienna and finds the saga continuing ... Fiammetta Rocco Picture: Edmund de Waal at his studio in south London, photographed by Jonathan Root They were well into the wine before they started telling stories. All day long the delegates at the 2005 Harvard conference on 20th-century studio ceramics had been listening to presentations on the Mingei movement in Japan, debating the role of folk art and the importance of Bernard Leach, a British potter who settled in Japan and became very influential. But as the main course was cleared away, those sitting at a table to one side of the room became captivated by a tale being recounted by another British potter, Edmund de Waal. It was about the Japanese netsuke his family had bought in the 1870s. Within half a century, they were one of the richest in Vienna, with a grand house on the Ringstrasse. At the Anschluss in 1938 the netsuke disappeared; stolen, the family thought. It was only after the war that they discovered they’d been hidden from the Nazis by a faithful servant, Anna. “This would make such a great book,” said Michael Goldfarb, a New York collector and one of those listening. “Edmund, you’ve got to stop talking and start writing. This is the book you were born to write.” Published in June 2010, “The Hare with Amber Eyes” has become the most successful family memoir of the decade.

    The New York Times November 12, 2019 GAGOSIAN ‘The Hare With Amber Eyes’ Comes Home An exhibition in Vienna puts the figurine at the center of Edmund De Waal’s 2010 memoir on show, and tells the story of a family forced from their home by prejudice. Palko Karasz “The Hare With Amber Eyes,” a Japanese netsuke carving, was a central figure in Edmund De Waal’s 2010 memoir of the same name.© Jewish Museum Vienna Last Monday in the imposing Ephrussi Palace, Edmund de Waal presided over a family reunion. For the first time since World War II, 41 relatives from around Europe, the United States and Mexico toured the neo-Renaissance building that had been home to the Ephrussi family, European Jews whose wealth once rivaled that of the Rothschilds. “Itʼs not just a nice family gathering — itʼs a political act,” said Mr. de Waal in an interview the next day. Mr. De Waal, a British ceramic artist and best-selling author, is the great-grandson of Viktor von Ephrussi, who thrived in Vienna as a banker before fleeing the city after Hitler’s 1938 incorporation of Austria into the Third Reich. On Tuesday, the country’s president, Alexander Van der Bellen, welcomed the family to an exhibition opening nearby that tells their story. “The Ephrussis: Travel in Time,” at the Jewish Museum Vienna through March 8, presents the family’s history through documents, photographs and souvenirs that Mr. de Waal donated to the museum last year. But the stars of the show are 157 netsuke (pronounced NET-ske), tiny Japanese carvings in wood and ivory, made famous by Mr.

  • High Unseriousness: Artists and Clay Edmund De Waal
    44 — 45 High Unseriousness: Artists and Clay Edmund de Waal The plasticity of clay has always been of great interest to artists. But with this centrality also comes the highly charged area of the status of clay. The question of whether it is precisely because clay can be seen as practically worthless that so many artists have been able to use it as a material in exploratory and digressive ways. It is a complex map. The artists who have had significant involvement with clay—not just an occasional foray—include Gauguin, the German Expressionists, the Fauves, and the Russian Suprematists in the early part of the 20th century. They include the major mid-century involvement of Picasso, Miró and Noguchi, and the work of Lucio Fontana, and now the contemporary work of Tapies, Caro and Cragg. The reasons why such an extraordi- nary history of exploratory involvement with clay should have been so systematically undervalued and decried are complex: the critical history for this century of work with clay provides a back- drop for the exhibition. The great absence of a considered critical appraisal for much of the ceramic work by artists reveals anxieties about craft, anxieties about the value of the decorative and anxi- eties about the place that objects can have within modern art. But above all it reveals a dislike for the messiness and inchoateness of clay, the way in which it shifts its states from liquid to solid, the way in which it moves. Some artists who have used clay have wanted to disassociate themselves from ceramics: they felt that ceramics as a discipline was alienating.

Date: March 2017 . iv . v ABSTRACT Breaking Porcelain is a personal journey in the curatorship of inherited porcelain shards. A Meissen porcelain collection, once belonging to my great, great grandparents – German Jewish collectors in Dresden – was stolen by the Nazis, partly lost and partly bombed in the fi rebombing of Dresden, later in part recovered from the destruction, and then further held in East Germany until the remains of the collection, a great deal of it broken, were fi nally returned to the family. Broken and scarred, the porce- lain fragments I have inherited serve as memorials that bear the evidence of their complex pasts. At the heart of the curatorial project lies the intention to understand the value and relevance of these porcelain fragments today. This involves exploration into the contexts that informed them during their history as well as appreciation of the effects they have had on people’s lives in the recent past.
