What you do with the story, how you hold it, how you handle it, how seriously you take it, and how you - in the end - pass it on, it is a huge responsibility”. This story took him and his brother Thomas to Odessa, to Paris, to Vienna and back to Tokyo in an effort to trace family letters, photographs, and places.

  • 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.

  • De Waal the Hare with Amber Eyes (Picador, 2010)
    µ˙ Book Club Summer 2012 Edmund de Waal The Hare with Amber Eyes (Picador, 2010) In The Hare with Amber Eyes: A Hidden Inheritance, Edmund de Waal (born 1964), a British ceramic artist and renowned scholar, unfolds the story of a remarkable family during a tumultuous century. Descended from the rich and respected Ephrussi and Rothschild families, De Waal might have inherited countless treasures; unfortunately, most of the family legacy was lost or confiscated during World War II. At the time of De Waal’s birth, all that remained was a collection of 264 Japanese netsuke that had been smuggled to safety by a loyal maid and returned after the war. The collection includes figures of street vendors, beggars, monks, rat catchers, dogs, lovers, a woman and an octopus, an elderly lady on an elderly horse, a witch trapped in a temple bell, a persimmon about to split, and a hare with amber eyes. Entranced by the beauty and mystery of this “very big collection of very small objects,” De Waal determined to trace his family’s history through the story of this collection.
