Setup
Revered artist and 2019 Harman/Eisner Artist in Residence Edmund de Waal describes his work: “I make things and I write about them. How objects come into being, how they are collected, passed on, lost, stolen and recovered is at the heart of what I do.” De Waal explores why this matters and some of the connections between his family stories and most recent exhibitions and projects in Vienna and at the Venice Biennale and at the Frick Collection.
