The London-based artist, master potter, and author Edmund de Waal has an astoundingly astute sense for the inner lives of objects. Each of his works, whether in clay or stone, is imbued with a certain alchemy, embodying traces of far-away or long-ago ancestors, ideas, and histories. This fall, two exhibitions featuring his artworks are on view at Gagosian in New York (through October 28): “to light, and then return,” which pairs his pieces with tintypes and platinum prints by Sally Mann, and “this must be the place,” a solo presentation displaying his porcelain vessels poetically arranged in vitrines, as well as stone benches carved from marble. As respected for his writing as he is for his pots, de Waal is the author of 20th Century Ceramics (2003), The Pot Book (2011), The White Road (2015), Letters to Camondo (2021), and, perhaps most notably, the New York Times bestseller The Hare with Amber Eyes (2010). All that de Waal does is part of one long continuum: He views his pots and texts as a single, rigorously sculpted body of work and ongoing conversation across time.On this episode, de Waal talks about his infatuation with Japan, his affinity for the life and work of the Japanese-American artist Isamu Noguchi (1904-1988), and the roles of rhythm and breath in his work.Special thanks to our Season 8 sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Show notes: [00:28] Edmund de Waal[03:43] Paul Celan[08:12] 2023 Isamu Noguchi Award[08:17] Gagosian[08:20] “this must be the place” [08:22] “to light, and then return”[09:09] Twentieth-Century Ceramics[09:20] The Pot Book[18:23] “Letters to Camondo” Exhibition[20:32] Sally Mann[20:48] The Hare with Amber Eyes[28:00] “The Hare with Amber Eyes” Exhibition[30:56] “Playing with Fire: Edmund de Waal and Axel Salto” Exhibition[40:24] Dr. Sen no Sōshitsu[52:48] The White Road[52:49] Letters to Camondo[01:06:33] In Memory Of: Designing Contemporary Memorials
A conversation with artist and author Edmund de Waal. De Waal's artwork is characterized by large collections of his handmade pottery which are carefully arranged within specially-designed vitrines, while his books, like his New York Times Bestseller “The Hare with Amber Eyes”, examine the past through the personal stories that objects can tell. Themes of origin, belonging, memory, and legacy permeate all of his work.https://gagosian.com/exhibitions/2023/edmund-de-waal-this-must-be-the-place/https://gagosian.com/exhibitions/2023/to-light-and-then-return-edmund-de-waal-and-sally-mann/https://www.edmunddewaal.com/
One of the world's most acclaimed ceramicists, Edmund de Waal is renowned for simple, hand-made porcelain pots and bowls which are usually displayed in meticulously arranged groups. His work has been shown in museums and galleries including the V&A, the British Museum, the Frick in New York, and at the Venice Biennale. In 2010 Edmund de Waal became widely known as a bestselling author, after the publication of his family memoir The Hare With Amber Eyes which retraced his Jewish European heritage. A dramatic and tragic story about art, exile and survival, it led him on a journey from Tokyo to Odessa via 19th century Paris and Nazi occupied Vienna. On This Cultural Life, Edmund de Waal tells John Wilson about being taken to a pottery class at the age of five by his father, an Anglican cleric who worked at Lincoln Cathedral. He immediately fell in love with the process of moulding wet clay into vessels and was determined to become a potter. After leaving school he spent five months in Japan studying the ancient traditions of pottery with various master ceramicists. He remembers how a visit to the Ryoan-ji Temple in Kyoto had a huge impact on his understanding of space, contemplation and spirituality. During his first visit to Japan he also met his great uncle Ignatius Ephrussi from whom Edmund first learned about his European Jewish heritage, his family's exile from Vienna in the face of Nazi terror, and the collection of small Japanese figurines, known as netsuke, whose story was told in The Hare With Amber Eyes. Edmund chooses the ceramicist Lucie Rie, another Viennese exile in London, as a major influence on his practise. He describes his working routine in the ceramics studio, and how his pots are often made in response to poetry, citing the work of Romanian-born Paul Celan an American poet Emily Dickinson as particular influences.

Riley Keough and Sam Claflin star in the 10-part adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid's novel Daisy Jones And The Six, the story of a fictional 70s band loosely inspired by Fleetwood Mac. Belgian director Lukas Dhont's film Close, about two teenage boys whose close friendship is challenged by their schoolmates, won the Grand Prix at Cannes. Critics Tim Robey and Kate Mossman join Front Row to review both. Plus Edmund de Waal on late fellow potter Lucie Rie's life and work as a new retrospective opens at Kettle's Yard in Cambridge.

Perdendosi: an instruction, typically at the end of a piece, for musicians to gradually diminish in volume, tempo and tone, to the point of disappearance. Photographer Norman McBeath uses the term to describe the way his images of fallen leaves portray how they lose colour and volume, turning from living things into something like parchment. During lockdown, McBeath's images were a constant companion to artist and writer Edmund de Waal, who responds to them here with a series of texts evoking change, decay and transformation, a unique collaboration beautifully documented in a new book from Hazel Press.McBeath and de Waal are in conversation with Alexandra Harris, Professor of English at Birmingham University and author of Weatherland and Romantic Moderns.

«Brev til Camondo» er en dypt rørende historie om et unikt museum i Paris, forteller kritiker Knut Hoem. Hør episoden i appen NRK Radio
Går det an å skrive brev til en person som døde for snart hundre år siden? Den jødiske Moïse de Camondo testamenterte sitt hus til den franske staten i 1936, fordi han ville vise hvor mye han satte pris på sitt nye hjemland. Under ti år senere var hele familien sendt til Auschwitz. Men huset forteller historien, og Edmund de Waal bringer den til live.
Central to this modern myth is the ‘savage creative storm' of 2-23 February 1922, when Rilke wrote the Sonnets to Orpheus and completed the Duino Elegies in less than three weeks. 100 years on from its conclusion, the poet and critic Ange Mlinko discusses Rilke, the cult of Orpheus and intense productivity with Don Paterson, whose versions of the Sonnets to Orpheus were published by Faber (and the LRB) in 2006, and the writer and artist Edmund de Waal, for whom the work of Rilke has been a constant touchstone.Find our upcoming digital and in-person events here: https://lrb.me/lrbevents See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Zehn Jahre nach dem Welterfolg von "Der Hase mit den Bernsteinaugen" kehrt Edmund de Waal mit "Camondo" ins Paris seiner Vorfahren zurück. In einer neuen Form – aber auch mit neuen Geschichten? Ein Gespräch mit Andreas Platthaus.
Al microfono di Massimo Zenari Flavia Foradini presenta "Letters to Camondo" di Edmund de Wall, edito da Chatto & Windus, in uscita da Bollati Boringhieri con il titolo "Lettere a Camondo" nella traduzione di Carlo Prosperi.
È un lungo viaggio verso casa, la proposta di Alice di questa puntata, un viaggio che si fa naturalmente ricerca delle proprie radici, fra utopia, memoria e umorismo. A introdurci nell'impresa sarà dapprima Yari Bernasconi, che a distanza di sei anni da “Nuovi giorni di polvere”, dà alle stampe “La casa vuota”, la sua seconda raccolta di poesie (Marcos y Marcos), coronamento di un percorso già importante che si muove nell'esplorazione dell'esperienza concreta e di quella interiore. Sarà anche l'occasione di scoprire (o riscoprire, come spesso accade), uno degli autori tedeschi più letti e amati di Sette e Ottocento, Jean Paul, fra i più singolari del Romanticismo, di poco più giovane di Goethe e Schiller, del quale Dario Borso ha curato e tradotto per la prima volta in italiano “Viaggio a Flätz” (Del Vecchio), un romanzo satira del proprio tempo, scritto nel 1807, con Napoleone in casa e la Prussia in ginocchio. Infine, Flavia Foradini ci illustrerà il nuovo lavoro di Edmund De Waal, “Letters to Camondo” (Chatto & Windus), in uscita da Bollati Boringhieri con la traduzione di Carlo Prosperi (“Lettere a Camondo”), nel quale il ceramista e scrittore inglese di fama mondiale insegue la storia della propria famiglia fra collezioni d'arte, musei parigini, malinconia e antisemitismo. In apertura, Alice, con Massimo Raffaeli, non mancherà di commentare il Premio Nobel per la letteratura 2021, annunciato a Stoccolma dall'Accademia di Svezia il 7 ottobre.
Edmund de Waal ist Schriftsteller und begnadeter Keramikkünstler. Sein Bestseller „Der Hase mit den Bernsteinaugen“ hat ihn berühmt gemacht. Nun hat er ein neues Buch veröffentlicht. Mit Lisa Zeitz spricht der Autor darüber, wie er auf diesen Stoff gestoßen ist, in welche Abgründe des 20. Jahrhunderts er dabei blickte und warum er so große Sympathien für Menschen hat, die sich für Porzellan interessieren. Der "WELTKUNST-Podcast - Was macht die Kunst?" wird in Partnerschaft mit Christie's produziert.
Graf Moïse de Camondo lebte in der Rue de Monceau in unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft von Edmund de Waals Vorfahren, den Ephrussi. Camondo baute ein spektakuläres Palais und füllte es mit der größten privaten Sammlung französischer Kunst des 18. Jahrhunderts für seinen Sohn Nissim. Für sein neues Buch erkundet der britische Bestsellerautor Edmund de Waal die prunkvollen Räume der noblen Residenz, konsultiert deren Archive und rekonstruiert anhand von imaginären Briefen an den Bankier Moïse de Camondo die vielfältigen Beziehungen zwischen den befreundeten Familien. Mit freundlicher Genehmigung des Verlages können wir die Sendungen bis 31. Oktober 2021 als kostenlosen Podcast anbieten.
Camondo. Eine Familiengeschichte in Briefen - das klingt harmlos, ist aber hoch dramatisch: Der jüdische Bankier Moïse de Camondo verliert im Ersten Weltkrieg seinen einzigen Sohn Nissim, zu dessen Ehren er in Paris ein Museum stiftet. Während der deutschen Besatzung wird die gesamte Familie ausgelöscht. Nach dem Weltbestseller Der Hase mit den Bernsteinaugen erzählt Edmund de Waal erneut die Geschichte eines Sammlers, der Frankreich liebte. Rezension von Christoph Schmälzle. Aus dem Englischen von Brigitte Hilzensauer Zsolnay Verlag, 192 Seiten, 26 Euro ISBN 978-3-55207-257-2

63 rue de Monceau, Paris Dear friend, As you may have guessed by now, I am not in your house by accident. I know your street rather well. Count Moïse de Camondo lived a few doors away from Edmund de Waal's forebears, the Ephrussi, first encountered in his bestselling memoir The Hare with Amber Eyes. Like the Ephrussi, the Camondos were part of belle époque high society. They were also targets of anti-semitism. Camondo created a spectacular house and filled it with the greatest private collection of French eighteenth-century art for his son to inherit. But when Nissim was killed in the First World War, it became a memorial and, on the Count's death, was bequeathed to France. The Musée Nissim de Camondo has remained unchanged since 1936. Edmund de Waal explores the lavish rooms and detailed archives and uncovers new layers to the family story. In a haunting series of letters addressed to the Count, he tells us what happened next. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/pbliving/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pbliving/support

In The Studio follows internationally acclaimed artist and writer Edmund de Waal as he creates new site-specific work for the Musée Nissim de Camondo, a hidden gem in a quiet corner of Paris. Once a flourishing household at the centre of Belle Époque Parisian society, the magnificent building and its spectacular collection of French eighteenth-century art became a quiet memorial for the son who was to have inherited it, but who tragically, died in the First World War. Edmund de Waal guides us through his creative response to the haunting history of the Camondo family, the last of whom were killed at Auschwitz. We follow him in his studio as he works on a multi-faceted installation for a unique setting, navigates the challenges of creating during lockdown and grapples with the notions of what it means to create a fitting memorial.

Entre "La collection disparue" de Pauline Baer de Perignon (Stock 2020) et "Le lièvre aux yeux d'ambre" de Edmund de Waal (Flammarion 2010), il y a plus d'un point commun: une enquête de famille, un monde perdu, une collection d'art spoliée par les nazis. Chez Pauline Baer de Perignon, il s'agit de son arrière-grand-père, Jules Strauss, chez Edmund de Waal, sa famille, les Ephrussi qu'il suit d'Odessa au XIXème, à Paris au temps de Proust, à Vienne pendant la seconde guerre mondiale, puis à Tokyo en 1950. On suit l'itinéraire de netsuke qui retrouvent leur pays d'origine. "Je ne suis pas historienne de l'art, j'ai simplement voulu mener une enquête, policière et sentimentale, sur les traces de ma famille, juive, spoliée." dit Pauline Baert de Perignon "Les tableaux voyagent et sont témoins de nos vies et de nos revers de fortune."

On the night of 18th April, 2015 a 90-foot fishing boat packed with migrants sent out a distress signal. It collided with a vessel responding to that call and sank between Libya and the Italian island of Lampedusa. Between 770 and 1,100 people drowned. Now the wreck has been raised and installed at the Arsenale, the historical naval yards in Venice - as an art work. Tim Marlow, director of exhibitions at the Royal Academy, considers the controversy surrounding this, and discusses with John Wilson other works that have drawn his attention at the Biennale. Elizabeth Macneal’s debut novel The Doll Factory, the subject of a bidding war between publishers, is the story of a young woman who finds herself part of the circle around the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. The author was also inspired by her fascination with the Victorian taste for collecting. She talks to Front Row about creating a character in charge of her own destiny, about the book’s success - and about her other career, being a potter. At the Venice Biennale, the British artist and author Edmund de Waal introduces us to his two-part project, Psalm, which opened this week at different venues.

Edmund de Waal on his installation 'A Local History' for the Alison Richard Building, University of Cambridge.
With Mark Lawson. Edmund de Waal, author of the bestselling memoir The Hare with the Amber Eyes, reflects on finding novels written by his grandmother, Elisabeth. She grew up in Vienna, and escaped when Hitler's troops marched into Austria on 12 March 1938, 75 years ago today. Her novel The Exiles Return examines the stories of five exiles returning to Vienna after World War II, and is now being published for the very first time.

A talk by Edmund de Waal on his installation 'A Local History' for the Alison Richard Building. A Local History A local history is an installation of three vitrines filled with porcelain, sunk below the paving outside the Alison Richard Building on the Sidgwick Site of Cambridge University. These vitrines are meant to be discovered, to be happened upon as you come and go across the site. They are there to make you pause momentarily. They are not sculpture as a Grand Statement. If you find them and look down through the gridded glass you will see piles of porcelain dishes, cylinders arranged in rows, and aluminium boxes filled with shards. The dishes are taken from moulds that I made from a Chinese Ming Dynasty dish, a plate from the French Sèvres porcelain factory, and a Staffordshire serving dish. These three dishes are iconic in form: they exemplify porcelain from three of the greatest places where it has been manufactured over the last thousand years. You will see that these pieces are glazed in whites, creams and celadons, and that there are also glimpses of gilding. Gold was used to highlight the value of porcelain, a material so prized that it was often called white gold. It was also used in Chinese and Japanese art when a vessel had been broken: to mend the porcelain with a seam of golden lacquer emphasized that it had been used and appreciated. I hope the flashes of gold, the fragments of broken vessels and the memories of ancient dishes act as a kind of palimpsest: a writing, erasing, and rewriting using objects. If you look up inside the atrium of the building you will see another vitrine, this time full of shelves holding celadon vessels. This vitrine, atlas, is my record of lost pots. It holds 120 lids from lidded jars that I have made over the last twenty years and broken because they were not quite right, because the glaze ran, because of a crack along a rim. If the structure of the vitrine looks familiar, it is because it is a gentle echo of a manuscript page with texts, footnotes and commentaries in intimate conjunction. All these vitrines are a kind of archive. They record my thinking about the history of porcelain, my travels, my love of fragments, my obsession with shadows, my reading. They are for this particular place – a threshold into a building, and a threshold into a site full of libraries and archives, and the people who care about libraries and archives. About Edmund de Waal Edmund de Waal is one of the world’s leading artists working in ceramics today. He is best known for his large-scale installations of porcelain vessels, with interventions at Waddesdon Manor, the Victoria & Albert Museum, Tate Britain and MIMA. Much of his recent work has been concerned with ideas of collecting and collections: how objects are kept together, lost, stolen, or dispersed. Increasingly, Edmund’s work has come from a dialogue between minimalism, sound and space, seen in his two permanent installations: Signs & Wonders at the V&A and a sounding line at Chatsworth House. In September 2012, Edmund will take his work beyond the museum space in his first piece of public sculpture, a local history, to be installed at the new Alison Richard’s Building at the University of Cambridge. Other future projects include working with the Chinese porcelain collections at the Fitzwilliam Museum, for an exhibition opening in February 2013, and a collaborative project with the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Edmund is also widely known as a writer. In 2010, Chatto & Windus published his family memoir, The Hare with Amber Eyes, which has become an international bestseller. It has won many literary prizes, including the Costa Biography Award, the Galaxy New Writer of the Year Book Award and the Royal Society of Literature Ondaatje Prize. By 2013, it will be published in over twenty-three languages. In 2011 Edmund was commissioned by Phaidon to write The Pot Book, a colour-illustrated anthology of 300 ceramic vessels. His other publications include a monograph on Bernard Leach (1997) and a survey of 20th Century Ceramics (2003). Edmund was appointed a Trustee of the V&A and awarded an OBE for his services to art in 2011. In June 2012, he was made a Senior Fellow at the Royal College of Art. Edmund was born in Nottingham in 1964. During his school years in Canterbury, he was apprenticed to the potter Geoffrey Whiting. After reading English at Cambridge, Edmund spent a further year studying at the Mejiro Ceramics Studio in Tokyo. He lives and works in London.
