American Art

American art reflects the nation’s evolving identity, spanning from early 19th-century Folk Art to the bold innovations of Modern and Contemporary movements. Iconic artists such as Jackson Pollock, Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, and Willem de Kooning helped shape global art history, while others like Jacob Lawrence and Nancy Graves brought powerful new perspectives to the American narrative. The work of all these esteemed artists has been featured at Shapiro Auctions. We specialize in presenting American paintings, drawings, sculptures, and photography from all periods to a global audience.
