It was a great success!! La Fête du Savon!To celebrate our second anniversary, we held our summer exhibition and sale of Art Nouveau and Art Deco chromolithographic labels created in Fin-de-Siecle France for the soap and perfume industries. La Fête du Savon was on display through July 31st.
La Fête du Savon is a rare blend of extraordinary design and original research, presenting Art Nouveau and Art Déco chromolithographic labels created in Fin-de-Siècle France for the soap and perfume industries. “These labels provide a look into the glamour and aggressive elegance retailed to the élite women of Belle Époque Paris, and this exhibit places these items within modern context as a means of translating their impact,” Curator Michael Hartman says. “Considering that they were designed and produced as ephemeral objects, both the level of artistic detail and the fact that these pieces even survived is impressive.” Although the special exhibition concluded on July 31st, the gallery maintains a wide selection of interesting specimens on hand for you to view and purchase.
