Celebrated artist and writer Edmund de Waal has transformed contemporary conversations about memory, diaspora, and materiality through both his installations and his writing. From exhibitions at The Frick Collection, the Rijksmuseum, and the British Museum to bestselling books such as The Hare with Amber Eyes, de Waal’s work illuminates the stories objects carry across generations.

The first 150 in-person attendees will receive copies of The Hare with Amber Eyes or Letters to Camondo.

This event is co-sponsored by Labyrinth Books.
