At Shapiro Auctioneers, we’re passionate about art, design, and the stories behind every piece we bring to auction. Led by Andrew Shapiro, whose career spans over 30 years in New York, London, and Sydney, we’ve built a reputation as one of Australia’s leading auction houses. Since 2001, we’ve been handling everything from Australian and International Art to Aboriginal Art, 20th and 21st Century Design, and Fine Decorative Arts.
Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of working with remarkable private collections and setting record prices across multiple categories. Whether you're buying, selling, or just curious about the world of auctions, we’re here to offer expert guidance and a welcoming experience.
