Horn of PlentyVIKTOR WYND FINE ART 11 MARE STREET · LONDON E8 3 - 30 December 2009
The House of Fairy Tales' exhibition of objects and artworks by international artists, designers and film-makers, many of whom have contributed to the Exquisite Trove touring exhibition or were part of HoFT's hugely successful tour of festivals across the country.
The Horn of Plenty explores folk tales, fables, myths and legends, all cousins of the fairy tale. Beauties and beasts are plentiful in fairy tales and are often the key subject in many of these artists' work.
The Horn of Plenty or cornucopia is a symbolic hollow horn filled with the inexhaustible gifts of celebratory fruits. The horn has supernatural powers, which give the person in possession of it whatever he or she wishes for...!
