The European Demidoff Foundation (EDF) were delighted to be granted a 'Private View' the evening of Thursday, 30 November 2023 showcasing the works of art of Anastasia Lopoukhine. As mentioned in the previous article, Anastasia is an extended Demidoff family member whom the EDF is proud to support. Around thirty friends, members, and guests of the EDF attended the 'Private View' of Anastasia's exhibition, 'On Line', that was held at Gallery Different in London and hosted by Randle White Fine Art.
Amongst our distinguished guests was the Chair of St. Gregory's Foundation, Nicholas Kolarz, and Executive Secretary, Julia Ashmore. Also attending was the founder of Prospero World, Sita Schutt, along with Trustee, Murray Shanks, and Senior Consultant, Elizabeth Chatalas Benoit.
We also were delighted to be joined by Prince Nikita Lobanov-Rostovsky and his wife, June. It was great to see in attendance, EDF academic member, Eugene Edelman and Princess Anna de la Tour de Vergne. Also joining us was the charming Lady Sudeley (see her quote below).
From Aristocrazia Europea, who are based in Milan, we were joined by Contessa Giulia Farneti Merenda Salecchi and Lorenzo Maria Pacini. From Zurich, we were delighted to see EDF member, Alina Toukallo, and her husband, Uei. Of course, we cannot fail to mention in attendance Anastasia's mother, Irene Commeau, from Paris, who works closely with the International Demidoff Foundation with headquarters in Moscow. Of course, I cannot name each guest, so do please accept my apologies for missing the names of so many other esteemed guests who joined us on Thursday evening.
Lastly, I would like to thank 'Ailsa Creative Cuisine' of London who provided the excellent catering and service that was enjoyed by our guests.
In the end, I believe that the event was enjoyed by everyone who attended and who together celebrated the beautiful works of art on display by Anastasia Lopoukhine. It was most rewarding to receive the steady stream of complimentary messages such as the following:
