• A dialogue of materials: the fragility and transience of porcelain meet the hardness and durability of Corten steel, yet visually they are almost indistinguishable from one another.
• Edmund de Waal is considered one of the most important ceramic artists on the international scene.
• His works were most recently on view at the Frick Collection, New York (2019), the Dresden State Art Collections (2019 and 2024), the British Museum (2020), and the Jewish Museum, New York (2021/22)
