"That form could happen out of formlessness. It was never about decoration, it was absolutely about form."
—Edmund de WaalPlate 1, Part 1, Page 1 displays thirty-seven porcelain vessels contained within three wooden cabinets, creating a quietly expressive work. The intentionally imperfect vessels, glazed in milky dark tones, are arranged in black, uniform cabinets in a manner that is both winsome and haphazard; the result is a celebration of the handcrafted character of ceramics with the exacting rigor of architecture. The installation reveals English ceramist Edmund de Waal at his zenith: seamlessly marrying these antithetical disciplines that govern the laws of design. Situating the vessels within the cabinets, de Waal removes them from the open world and imbues them with new significance, their meaning tied to one another and the shelves on which they sit. Plate 1, Part 1, Page 1, executed in 2011, represents a continuation of de Waal’s exploration into this fragment/whole dialogue, a theme that he similarly explored in his critically-acclaimed book The Hare with Amber Eyes: A Hidden Inheritance. Often referring to the influence of literary sources in his installation works, de Waal noted the following about the present lot: “In an early edition of Gulliver's Travels there is a beautiful map entitled Plate 1, Part 1, Page 1. This installation is a sort of spacial mapping of my travels - a way of thinking how you can imagine moving in a real and imaginary place at the same time.”

Please note that the present lot was on loan to the Jewish Museum Vienna, Austria from 2013-2021.
