Walton Fine Arts started 25 years ago with Modern Art dealing in blue-chip artists like Picasso, Chagall, Miro, Matisse, Bacon and Pop Artists like Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and Robert Indiana.
Having understood its revolutionary potential, WFA was one of the first galleries in the UK to deal in street art by now well established names like Banksy and Nick Walker, and later brought works by Japanese master Takashi Murakami to the British public.
Walton Fine Arts is renowned for spotting and putting on the map globally successful street artists such as Bambi and, more recently, Plastic Jesus, whose ground breaking street pieces 'STOP MAKING STUPID PEOPLE FAMOUS' and 'Graffiti Is a Crime', among others, caught the worlds attention and got him an international following, countless features in the media and a large fan base that includes celebrities like Miley Cyrus, Charlize Theron, Spencer Matthews and Banksy himself.
