Board Profile: Johan Westenburg

Johan started working in the business of art in New York and worked for Clara Sujo, the Pace Gallery and Stux Modern before starting his own gallery in Great Barrington, MA. in 1994. Thirty years on, art – its movement and ability to transform people and communities – remains the core activity of his life. It is said, the best way to make a small fortune in the arts is to start with a large fortune and Johan has been actively aspiring to that platitude for the better part of a lifetime; he lives with his partner Machteld in a gem of vernacular architecture cobbled together by Staunton legend Sam Gardner with bricks from the old Star Furniture Company.

Welcome to the WQSV board, Johan! We’re happy to have you.
