WHY SKRAPPER?
Founded in 1999 by acclaimed American contemporary artist William Quigley, Skrapper was conceived as a socially conscious platform for creative collaborations. The brand functions as a cultural billboard—partnering and licensing with artists, influencers, and organizations to build a credible, cross-disciplinary market through art, fashion, film and music events that support a range of charitable causes. Each edition is a reinvention into an original treasure that channels Quigley’s restless vision into timeless prints and wearable canvases, blurring the lines between art and fashion.
Quigley's works are represented by the very prestigious The Bonnier Gallery with a prominent history of collecting, dealing, investing and building artist's careers since 1837. Bonnier secured his place in contemporary art history in February 1976, when he commissioned the first set of right-facing parallelogram wood-blocks from minimalist pioneer Donald Judd. The gallery is credited with establishing the Chelsea art district in New York by convincing his friend, mega-dealer Larry Gagosian to move from Soho in 1986. In addition to Quigley, the gallery features artists like Richard Hoglund, Donald Judd, Andy Warhol, Kathleen Jacobs, Frank Stella, Jean Michel Basquiat, Pat Steir, Robert and Cordy Ryman, Cy Twombly, Agnes Martin, Alex Katz and Roy Lichtenstein etc.
THE SKRAPPER LEGACY and MISSION
SkrapperStyle is the visual language of artist William Quigley—a brand forged at the intersection of downtown New York grit, West Coast athletic culture, and fine-art provenance. Emerging from the same 1980s New York scene that launched artists like Basquiat and Warhol contemporaries, Quigley’s work translates raw urban energy into iconic imagery that resonates with collectors, athletes, and cultural insiders alike. Each SkrapperStyle piece carries the DNA of lived experience: street-level authenticity elevated by museum-level composition. These are not reproductions chasing trends—they are limited-edition works rooted in history, scarcity, and cultural relevance.

In April 2020—the year and month his father William passed—Quigley was coincidentally contacted by and partnered with former Disney exec, co-founder of Clearstone Venture, Tether, and WAX, William E. Quigley, who shares his exact name. Together, they released a WAX Babe Ruth NFT celebrating the Babe's 714 career home runs.
