As passionate collectors, consultants and supporters of the arts and street art culture, Sandra Powell and Andrew King have amassed an incredible art collection over the past 30 years. Every corner of their St Kilda home features unique and rare works by artists including Andy Warhol, Shepard Fairey, Anthony Lister, Barry McGee, Banksy, Rone, Lush and so many more. It is BEYOND IMPRESSIVE!

Though they have renovated and updated their home over the years, the couple have kept the bones of their rambling Victorian mansion largely intact, from the home’s layout to original stained glass windows that feature in the staircase. Visiting this home is like stepping into a private art museum – every piece has a story, and conveys the infectious passion of the creative couple who live here.

For the full story, and many more pics of Sandra and Andrew’s remarkable home and art collection, do revisit our original post.
