Robert's nephew John Abbott (1937-2011[5]), who had worked for the firm in the 1960s,[5] became a partner in 1971.[4] Eric Holder retired in 1981 and Philip Athill,[7] an art history graduate and assistant at the gallery since 1979,[5] and now the company's Managing Director, became a partner in 1984.[4] John Abbott retired in 2001.[8] Before moving to Museum Street, the gallery occupied part of a house at 73 Castelnau, Barnes, which was also Robert Abbott's home.[8][9] As well as general sales, promoted with a monthly-updated "list", the gallery holds topical and artist-specific exhibitions,[10][11][12][13] occasionally including living artists.[14][15] In 1960, Eric Holder invited Reginald Gray to hold his first London solo exhibition at the gallery.[16] In 1961, Gray pained Holder's portrait.[16] The gallery's clients have included the UK Government Art Collection[17] and Abbott and Holder's near neighbour, the British Museum.[18] Abbott and Holder are members of the British Antique Dealers' Association.[19] References1. ^1 {{cite web |last1=Gleadell |first1=Colin |title=Under a grand: Abbott and Holder |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/art/3650374/Under-a-grand-Abbott-and-Holder.html |work=The Daily Telegraph |accessdate=8 February 2019 |date=21 February 2006}} 2. ^{{cite web |last1=Pandya |first1=Nick |title=Under the hammer: Art works |url=https://www.theguardian.com/money/2003/dec/13/alternativeinvestment.jobsandmoney |work=The Guardian |accessdate=8 February 2019 |date=13 December 2003}} 3. ^1 {{cite web |title=Abbott and Holder Ltd |url=https://www.bada.org/dealer/abbott-and-holder-ltd |publisher=BADA |accessdate=8 February 2019}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite web |title=Abbott and Holder Ltd |url=https://www.royalacademy.org.uk/art-artists/organisation/abbott-and-holder-ltd |publisher=Royal Academy of Arts |accessdate=8 February 2019}} 5. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite news |title=John Abbott |url=http://www.abbottandholder-thelist.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/John-Abbott-Obit.pdf |work=The Times |date=28 April 2012}} 6. ^{{cite web |title=Abbott and Holder |url=http://www.worksonpaperfair.com/abbott-and-holder.html |website=Works on Paper Fair |accessdate=8 February 2019}} 7. ^Philip is nephew and heir to literary editor, novelist and memoirist Diana Athill 8. ^1 {{cite web |title=Gallery History |url=http://www.abbottandholder-thelist.co.uk/history/ |publisher=Abbott and Holder |accessdate=8 February 2019}} 9. ^{{cite web |title=History of art in Barnes |url=http://barnesartists.org/history-of-art-in-barnes/ |website=Barnes Artists |accessdate=8 February 2019 }} 10. ^{{cite web |last1=James |first1=David |title=An exhibition of work by RS Thomas' wife Mildred Eldridge |url=https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/exhibition-work-rs-thomas-wife-12834478 |website=Wales Online |accessdate=8 February 2019 |date=2 April 2017}} 11. ^{{cite web |title=A spy with an eye for fashion |url=https://www.christies.com/features/Stonehouse_Vogue-5333-1.aspx |publisher=Christie's |accessdate=8 February 2019 |language=en}} 12. ^{{cite web |title=From cartoons to Mediterranean art |url=https://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20120418/arts-entertainment/From-cartoons-to-Mediterranean-art.415934 |work=Times of Malta |accessdate=8 February 2019}} 13. ^{{cite web|title=The Camp in the Oatfield|url=http://www.millicentsutherlandambulance.com/ |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131230162625/http://www.millicentsutherlandambulance.com/ |archivedate= 30 December 2013 |dead-url=yes |publisher=Abbott and Holder Ltd.}} 14. ^{{cite web |title=The ARTS Interview: Botanical Artist, Jess Shepherd |url=https://theecologist.org/2017/feb/01/arts-interview-botanical-artist-jess-shepherd |website=The Ecologist |accessdate=8 February 2019 }} 15. ^{{cite web |title=Abbott and Holder Ltd : Prue Cooper - Slipware dishes |url=http://www.studiopottery.co.uk/event_profile.php?id=4141 |website=Studio Pottery |accessdate=8 February 2019 |language=en}} 16. ^1 {{cite web |last1=Gray |first1=Reginald |authorlink1=Reginald Gray (artist) |title=Eric Holder |url=http://reginaldgray.blogspot.com/ |website=Reginald Gray Portraits |date=15 November 2007 |accessdate=10 February 2019}} 17. ^{{cite web |title=John Bluck - Twenty-four Views taken in St. Helena, the Cape, India, Ceylon, The Red Sea, Abyssinia & Egypt|url=https://www.gac.culture.gov.uk/gacdb/search.php?mode=show&id=25402 |website=Government Art Collection |accessdate=8 February 2019}} 18. ^{{cite web |title=drawing |url=https://www.britishmuseum.org/research/collection_online/collection_object_details.aspx?objectId=726545&partId=1&people=102862&peoA=102862-2-9&page=5 |website=British Museum |accessdate=8 February 2019}} 19. ^{{cite web |title=British Antique Dealers' Association |url=https://www.cinoa.org/cinoa/association?association=8 |publisher=CINOA |accessdate=10 February 2019}} Further reading
