Like much of de Waal’s work, \u003cem\u003eEdmund de Waal, an Archive\u003c\/em\u003e is concerned with collecting and collections – how objects are kept together, lost, stolen or dispersed.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe book starts in Odessa in 2009 and ends in Paris in 2021, encountering his family archives in both places. In-between there are his responses to the archives of poets and artists and places he loves. An Archive offers the opportunity to read texts by de Waal originally included in previous publications that are no longer available to the reader. The effort to put together all this material is not only an archival work but also an essay on the topic that offers different approaches to the definition and the experimentation of an archive by the viewer or its creator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eEdmund de Waal, an Archive \u003c\/em\u003eis part of the Ivorypress Archives series, which aims to make unpublished, long-lost or sold out material available to the general public.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eIvory Press, 252pp, 12cm x 16cm, illustrated paperback, 2026\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Art Data","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57177663963509,"sku":"M-ED-7568-S","price":29.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0079\/5974\/0505\/files\/EdmunddeWaal-anArchive.jpg?v=1778672130","url":"https:\/\/store.magalleria.co.uk\/products\/edmund-de-waal-an-archive","provider":"Magalleria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
