World-famous ceramic artist and writer of The Hare with Amber Eyes, Edmund de Waal has been fascinated by the colour white since he was just a tiny tot. Now, to add his long list of achievements, de Waal presents a smashing new project in the delightful Royal Academy library. It's also the first time an artist has curated an exhibition at the RA.
What's so special about white?
De Waal, who has made a name with his gorgeous collection of Japanese sculptures, prolific writing and magical porcelain works, argues that white is far from blank. It has fascinating links to the abstract, spiritual and minimalist, with a unique power for each individual.
For de Waal white has a kaleidoscope of meanings, from J.M.W. Turner's porcelain palette to Kazimir Malevich's Suprematist Teapot.
Highlights
Look out for Cy Twombly's white-washed sculpture and even a small ivory netsuke (sculpture) of a hare with amber eyes, straight out of de Waal's collection. You'll also want to admire the incredible porcelain installations by de Waal himself, which are certainly what will draw the crowds to this small exhibition in the Royal Academy.

  • Sartoria

    Located in the bespoke tailoring district of Savile Row, Sartoria serves up top-quality Italian cuisine all day long in a setting designed by David d'Almada. From mouthwatering risotto to refreshing desserts, Chef Francesco Mazzei's Calabrian roots really come through in this extensive menu. We particularly recommend sitting outside on the heated terrace for a truly atmospheric dining experience.

  • Gazelle

    Walking into Gazelle is like entering a private members' club, discreetly signed, upstairs in an Edwardian Mayfair building with its own elevator. It is perfectly possible to dip inside for pre-dinner cocktail. For a post-dinner moody tryst it is most inviting too.
