Archivast

Archivast was founded because the world needs more art. We know there are gems, long-hidden in archives all over the world that deserve to be seen - both at Archivast and in your home. Part gallerists, part Indiana Jones - we dig through photos to find and rescue the very few photos that are truly art - which we exhibit online and in pop-ups so you have the opportunity to access and purchase great art. The world's archives have rich historical and contemporary photo collections, yet there are stunning images in these collections that never see the light of day and a great many are being discarded. Stemming this loss motivates us - as our society becomes more and more digitized, Archivast will become a platform for discovering, saving and exhibiting the best of this photography and giving it the exposure it deserves.
