Edmund De Waal, British ceramic artist and author, has lived in the UK nearly all his life. Born in Nottingham, educated in Canterbury and Cambridge, he built a pottery on the Welsh borders, then moved to inner-city Sheffield; he learned Japanese, and spent some time there, but since 1993 has been based in and around London, working as Professor of Ceramics at Westminster University til 2011, and currently living in Dulwich.
He's currently at the Gagosian Gallery in New York, setting up his first US exhibition. Where do think Alan Yentob might interview him ?

I think not. He may well wait,however, until an independent production company makes a film about him - fly to Manhattan for a piece to camera at the top that may give the impression he has had something to do with it - hang around for a few days - fly back and then pocket a percentage of any of the overseas sales.
ReplyDeleteAnd quite right too. Where would the BBC be without him?
