AMSTERDAM.- PAN Amsterdam is twenty-five years old and a celebration for every art lover. This fair of today for art, antiques and design presents a fascinating cross-section of what the trade currently has to offer and is an important indicator of the mood of the art market. One hundred and twenty-five art dealers, antique dealers and gallery owners will be showing a fascinating variety of old, modern and contemporary art in an inspiring setting—from Jan Steen and Studio Job to a Roman statue of the Greek god PAN and top photography by Schilte & Portielje. PAN Amsterdam runs from 20 to 27 November in the Parkhal of the Amsterdam RAI. PAN Amsterdam organises ‘Art Encounters’ every year. This select evening is designed especially for art lovers in their thirties and forties so that they can meet like-minded art lovers, artists and dealers in a relaxed atmosphere. There are artists at work on some of the stands, a DJ plays lounge music in the ‘Rembrandtplein’ and you can enjoy cocktails and canapés. This is also the evening of the annual Chairmen’s Drink for Captains of Industry and the Corps Diplomatique.
