The Jewish Museum will present The Hare with Amber Eyes, an exhibition that tells the story of the Ephrussi family-celebrated in the 2010 memoir and The New York Times bestseller of the same name by Edmund de Waal-and showcases the breadth and depth of their illustrious collection. The exhibition, on view at the Jewish Museum from November 19, 2021 through May 15, 2022, explores the family's rise to prominence and splendor in the first half of the nineteenth century, followed by a focus on the prolific collector and historian of art, Charles Ephrussi, to the inter-war years, and finally World War II, when the family lost its fortune and collection to Nazi looting.


The Hare with Amber Eyes traces the Ephrussi family's progression as one of the most influential Jewish families in nineteenth century Europe, beginning with Charles Joachim Ephrussi (1793-1864), who built a vast fortune through grain distribution and the oil industry in Odessa. His descendants continued to grow the family's wealth and influence as financiers, becoming peers of the Rothschild family, and expanding their presence across the major capitals of Europe. In Vienna, Charles's son Ignace (1829-1899) founded the Ephrussi & Co bank, eventually receiving the noble title of Knight (Ritter). The Ephrussis achieved high social status as leading participants in the imperial city's flourishing economic and architectural sectors, and were known for their cultural and intellectual contributions. Reflecting their success, the family commissioned the Palais Ephrussi, a noble residence on the famed Ringstrasse. The family owned castles and estates throughout Europe, including the famous Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild on the French Riviera. 041b061a72
