Michael Rushmore’s interest in street art was originally ignited by random exposure to controversial images on the brick walls of East London. Unfiltered ideas presented in sometimes Ilegal work were exciting and current.  This interest was further powered by a daily conversation on the topic, or walk down an alley, with the local expert who lived upstairs. Over a period of years, Mike’s collection grew to include work by about 40 artists ranging from unknown vandals to those in carefully curated by museums including Swoon, Os Gemeos, JR, Fairey, Banksy and Haring.
