We work with established and emerging collectors to build and expand meaningful art collections that reflect their values, cultural sensibilities, and financial goals. Our firm manages the process every step of the way – identifying works, negotiating pricing, and managing shipping, framing, appraisals and beyond. 

 

Private Sales

We facilitate sales of works by identifying the appropriate market price and timing and connecting the works to direct buyers, galleries, or auction houses – professionally and discretely — to optimize value.  

 

Collection Management

We provide ongoing support for our clients through regular market updates related to their works, as well as insurance, storage, transportation, management of documents, and loan facilitation. 

SMAA facilitated the loan of this important collaboration painting, Eggs, by Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol, to the Perez Art Museum Miami. Eggs will be on view at PAMM until March 15th, 2022 when it will then travel to Foundation Louis Vuitton, Paris.

 

Appraisals

 

We provide certified appraisal reports for donation, insurance, fair market value, marketable cash value, divorce, and estate planning purposes. Spring is Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) compliant and her reports conform to USPAP criteria.
