Patrick Nguyen — The Streets Are Paved With Art

Namedropping where namedropping is due: Shepard Fairey, Swoon, Faile, Blu, WK Interact, Os Gemeos, Jeffrey Deitch, Jonathan LeVine, Martha Cooper, Wooster Collective, Brad Downey, Futura, Dzine and Blek le Rat – these are just some of the key 100 players of street and urban art from around the world featured in Gestalten's Beyond the Street with extensive and richly illustrated interviews. We met with Patrick Nguyen, insider, art collector, ex-lawyer and editor of the book, to talk about street and urban art – and the fine art of persuading normally arcane artists to do interviews.
