Abbott and Holder, Art gallery in Museum Street, Camden, England
Abbott and Holder is an art gallery located at 30 Museum Street in Camden that displays English paintings, watercolors, drawings, and prints spanning the 19th and 20th centuries. The space focuses on works on paper and has built its reputation around promoting artists whose contributions might otherwise remain overlooked in major collections.
Robert Abbott, a former headmaster, and Eric Holder, an accountant, established the gallery in 1936 following their meeting at the Friends' Meeting House in Tottenham. Their partnership grew into a business dedicated to systematically documenting and selling English artworks.
The gallery maintains a collection of modern British art, including works from notable artists such as F.A. McMinn and John Piper from different artistic periods.
The gallery maintains an extensive online catalog where visitors can browse artworks and stay informed about new acquisitions. Regular monthly listings on the website make it easy to follow current offerings and purchase pieces shortly after they are released.
The British Museum Library has acquired more than four hundred and fifty works on paper from this collection, showing how much its curatorial selections have mattered to major institutions. This trust from museums underscores the gallery's role in securing rare and important English pieces.
