# Edmund de Waal: *the eight directions of the wind: Edmund de Waal at The Huntington*

Oct 18, 2025 – Oct 26, 2026 · on view · Huntington Art Gallery, Chinese Garden and Japanese Garden

Installations by the British artist and writer Edmund de Waal in three places: the Huntington Art Gallery, the Chinese Garden and the Japanese Garden.

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.
