Five Minutes with Geoffry van Vugt, Founder of St. Art Gallery

St. Art Gallery was founded by Geoffry van Vugt in 2009, out of a personal fascination with street art and the urban contemporary movement. What began as a small, personal collection has grown into a gallery that works directly with artists and major archives to bring blue-chip urban contemporary art to collectors worldwide.

Asked what still draws him to the work after all these years, Geoffry points to the same thing that got him started: street art’s willingness to be socially critical, subversive and a little uncomfortable — exactly the qualities that make it worth collecting.
