Deutsches Fächertreffen 2015 in Brüssel

[EN version below]
Das diesjährige Fächertreffen der deutschen Fächersammler findet in Brüssel statt, und zwar am 4. Wochenende im Oktober (22. bis 25. 10.). Das Thema "Belle Epoque" wurde gewählt, da Brüssel eine der imposantesten Städte des floralen Jugendstils ist. Die architektonischen Stilelemente lassen sich auf vielen Fächern der Zeit wiedererkennen. Neben den Besuch in Museen mit Fächern, werden Margaretha Mazura und ein belgischer Sammler ihre Belle Epoque Fächer zur Schau stellen.

The annual meeting of the German fan collectors will take place in Brussels, at the 4th weekend in October (22-25). The topic "Belle Epoque" was selected because of the venue: Brussels is one of the most famous representative cities of the floral Art Nouveau. Many architectural elements can be found on fans of the period. Apart from visits to museums, Margaretha Mazura as well as a Belgian collector will show their Belle Epoque fans.

October 2015 - the "Fan Month" in Brussels

Like every two years, "Dire et Voir Bruxelles" organises the Biennale Art Nouveau/Art Deco: each weekend in October, private buildings are exceptionally opened to the public. As already in 2013, Margaretha Mazura will present her period fans at two occasions:

The first weekend (3/4 October), the fans will be put into relation with vases from the same period, and in one case even by the same artist. Georges de Feure had a large portfolio of different designs that included vases and fans.

Two de Feure vases and two advertising fans by de Feure. 

The vases stem from the Schellhorn-Grupp collection.
More info about the first weekend and this exhibition here.

The second weekend (10/11 October) opens the doors of another "commune" of Brussels. On this weekend, with the title "Plumes et Paillettes", the location will be the "Concert Noble", a ballroom still in use as such, e.g. for the Viennese Ball. Margaretha Mazura will show fans different from the first weekend: feather and paillettes and advertising fans with masks. For the first time, the breath-taking collection of feather fans of a Brussels collector with complement her fans.
