Amanda E. Shore has spent more than twenty years building significant private art collections, sourcing and facilitating more than $1 billion in art acquisitions spanning nineteenth-century, Impressionist, Modern, Post-War and Contemporary art.

Working with the highest level of discretion, Amanda represents her clients’ interests throughout the collecting process. Her philosophy is to source the finest works available worldwide, to seek the best examples, the finest quality and with exceptional provenance, while remaining equally focused on value. Her market knowledge, careful sourcing and negotiation have enabled clients to acquire important artworks at advantageous prices while building the long-term quality and value of their collections.

Through long-standing relationships across the international art world, Amanda sources works from private collections, leading galleries and major auction houses, as well as directly through artists, studios and estates. These relationships provide access to important works and private collections that are frequently unavailable on the public market.

Her experience extends far beyond acquisition. Amanda works directly with internationally recognized artists, studios/estates, and foundries on site-specific commissions and monumental sculpture, managing projects from concept and fabrication through installation. She has worked with Jeff Koons, Joel Shapiro, Jaume Plensa, Robert Indiana, Marc Quinn, and Anish Kapoor, among many others.

Amanda has also managed and stored acquisitions on behalf of collectors, overseeing conservation, insurance, framing, shipping, installation and museum loans. Her work has extended into institutional environments, where she has assisted in curating and placing art in relation to architecture, landscape and purpose, as well as conceiving and directing art and collection publications.

At the heart of Amanda’s approach is a deep understanding of each collector’s individual vision. Discretion, trust and privacy are fundamental to every relationship. For Amanda, a great collection is not simply an accumulation of important works, but a reflection of the collector who created it and, ultimately, their legacy.
