RAMM Display - A fan of fans
Finders Keepers? is a gallery devoted to collectors and collecting. A special display case in this gallery features the passions of contemporary local collectors. This changing programme begins with Tony Cheung’s collection of fans. Originally from Hong Kong, Tony came to the UK in 1996 and moved to Exeter in 2004. He has a passion for Chinese arts and crafts and around 1998 he began to turn his attention to fans. “I used to go regularly to Covent Garden and saw fans there. Then I noticed them in antique shops and markets. I love the ornate decoration. When I get them home I try and repair them. The ribbons often need replacing.”
