Image: Annabel Elton, Leaving do
On Tuesday, 3rd October, friends, trustees and artists gathered to say our farewells to Annabel Elton who has been at the Mall for most of the last 39 years.
In her role as Head of Commissions she has provided an invaluable service to both the FBA and the RP. Annabel is responsible for creating the commission service at the Mall as we now know it. Her warm and friendly presence has been the welcome space in which clients, corporate, institutional and private have begun the commissioning journey.
Our commission service is without equal and this is entirely thanks to Annabel.
Members of the RP presented Annabel with an antique artists box, beautifully engraved with the RP logo and filled with drawings, mementos and letters.
We wish her every happiness in her well deserved retirement.
Martina Merelli is our new commissions agent. She has Annabel’s imprimatur and we look froward to working with her.
“I am lucky to have enjoyed the best job in the world for so long. It has been a privilege to have played a part in so many works of art, but more so to have worked with so many extraordinary and wonderful people.”
-Annabel Elton
