In the Art Gallery’s small library, de Waal has gathered poetry of exile into a table topped with porcelain slip and gold; in the dining room are 18th-century Meissen plates looted by the Nazis, broken in the bombing of Dresden and mended with kintsugi. In the Chinese Garden he traces a thousand years of porcelain, setting shards and vessels beside his own, and in the Japanese Garden a charred-oak pavilion looks onto his black porcelain in the Marsh Tea House.

The Los Angeles Chicana artist and researcher made every piece on hand-processed amate-fiber paper, setting colonial Mexican sources against nineteenth-century maps and boundary surveys from the Huntington’s collections. The work looks at how borders and histories in the region are drawn, erased and redrawn, and at the communities official accounts leave out.
