Press Release

Galerie Max Hetzler is pleased to present letters home, a solo exhibition of works by Edmund de Waal at Potsdamer Straße 77-87, in Berlin. In his visual art, Edmund de Waal uses objects as vehicles for human narrative, emotion, and history. His installations of handmade porcelain vessels, often contained in minimalist structures, investigate themes of diaspora, memory, and materiality. The exhibition includes both the largest free-standing clay vessels the artist has ever created and a large-scale pavilion titled ‘there are still songs to sing beyond mankind, 2024.’ Individual words or phrases from poems by Denise Riley, Paul Celan, and Rainer Maria Rilke are interwoven in the titles or surfaces of these works by de Waal.

About the Artist

Nottingham-born acclaimed writer and contemporary artist Edmund de Waal creates porcelain-based installations and works that explore the narratives of objects and the act of their collection and display.
