PRESS RELEASE

ELEGANCE
Fans
of 18th Century Europe
(27th November 2001 – 3rd March 2002)
Owing
to the present political and economical situation, the exhibition from
Ostankino has been postponed indefinitely.
The exhibition entitled “Fans of 18th Century Europe”, at
The Fan Museum-Greenwich-from 27th November 2001 until 3rd
March 2002, will show a wide variety of European fans from many countries
with an emphasis on national characteristics. Fans from France, England,
Italy and Holland will demonstrate how styles varied, but how each
nationality was well aware of the specialities of the other: a view of
Vesuvius in eruption would be the obvious gift to bring home from the
Grand Tour; in the same way a cheap printed fan bought in London could
make a good inexpensive gift in France. Conversely a fine quality French
fan would be coveted by a fashionable high society English Milady! Above
all the 18th century was the century of the fan. Never again
would there be such an explosion of creativity in this small and
specialised industry. As with furniture, the proportions are always right
even if the quality is not so good. This is one of the most elegant
exhibitions yet to be seen at The Fan Museum.
