de Waal, Edmund. London, Phaidon, 2014.
English quarto, 8 1/2" x 10 7/8", 271 pp.
ISBN: 9780714867038
Near Fine quarto in gray cloth with blind-stamped design to front panel. Some mild bumping to head and upper tips, one spot of soil to bottom tip and back panel, previous owner's name to title page, otherwise clean interior, tightly bound. A stunning, design-heavy monograph with handsome gray endpapers and section breaks, full-color photographs of art by contemporary English ceramicist-sculptor Edmund de Waal. With contributions by A.S. Byatt, Peter Carey, Emma Crighton-Miller, Colm Toibin et al. De Waal's minimalist art blends pottery with installation; he is preoccupied with order, utility, and organic domestic forms, resulting in playful simplicity. A lovely title that evokes peace in the looking.
