Hammer & Block Auctioneers is Miami’s newest full-service auction house servicing the communities of Miami-Dade County and surrounding areas. We hold regularly scheduled bi-weekly auctions and occasional specialist auctions.

Hammer and Block Auctioneers decided that their first specialist auction had to be an event that showcased art which the Miami community can relate to, and at the same time celebrate what makes this city one of a kind in America and the world, the diversity that we proudly are known for and which makes our city so rich in culture. Latin American Art was a great choice because its art exhumes talent, creativity, color, tradition, technique and the richness of its culture, the people, landscapes and evolution.

Our consignors for this auction are private collectors of high quality Latin American Art, and some of these works are completely new to the market. And we included two International artists to the mix.
