Great Faberge in the Hermitage

After the latest renewal of its exposition, the exhibition "Great Faberge in the Hermitage" is scheduled to open on the 7th of October,1999. It was organized by the State Hermitage in cooperation with the Faberge Arts Foundation (Washington,DC-St.Petersburg). This exhibition that includes more than 100 pieces of art represents the work of the renowned master in all its variety. It gives as well an opportunity to see some pieces by the famous artists of the firm such as M. Perkhin, G. Vigstrem, U. Rappoport, F.Rukert, V. Reimer and the others. New exhibits also include 14 objects made by Faberge's contemporaries, mainly St.Petersburg artists such as K.Bolin, I. Britsin, P. Ovchinnikov, A. Tillander. The work of Carl Faberge was undoubtedly of great significance for the development of the art of jeweler but he was not the only one who gave to St.Petersburg its image of the major gold and silversmith art center.
