As the first auction house to specialize in 20th century art and design, LAMA played, and continues to play, an integral role in establishing the market for some of today's most celebrated artists and designers. Our experienced and energetic team works with buyers and sellers alike to present vetted works and to help grow private and institutional collections, no matter the size.
LA Modern Auctions was founded in 1992 by curator and trusted consultant, Peter Loughrey.
