Introduction
The Americas Collection Art Gallery has been a cornerstone of modern and contemporary art for over three decades. Located in Coral Gables, Florida, our gallery is recognized for its deep commitment to showcasing the work of Latin American, Caribbean, and U.S.-based artists. Our business model sets us apart: we are a primary market gallery. This means we work directly with living artists, representing their work and advocating for their careers.
This model isn’t just a distinction—it’s a philosophy. By forming strong partnerships with the artists we represent, we create a ripple effect of benefits for both the creators and the collectors who trust our gallery.
What Is a Primary Market Gallery?
In art, galleries typically operate in either the primary or secondary market. The primary market refers to the first sale of an artwork, directly from the artist to the buyer. This is where The Americas Collection thrives. We establish exclusive relationships with artists, often representing them throughout their careers.
In contrast, the secondary market involves the resale of artworks after they’ve been purchased at least once. These transactions often focus on investment rather than artistic development and rarely affect the artist directly.
At The Americas Collection, we champion original voices by working exclusively within the primary market. We give collectors access to fresh, museum-quality artwork and artists the support they need to grow.
Why Our Primary Market Model Is Superior
Operating as a primary market gallery allows us to build genuine, long-term partnerships with the artists we represent. This structure offers advantages that secondary market dealers cannot match.
- Authenticity is guaranteed – We handle artworks directly from the artist’s studio. Provenance is unquestionable.
- Transparent pricing—Since we represent artists directly, our pricing is fair and reflective of the artist’s current market standing, not speculative resale inflation.
- Career development – Our gallery doesn’t just sell art; we help shape careers by investing in artist visibility through exhibitions, publications, and client connections.
Benefits to Artists: Partnership, Promotion, and Protection
Artists represented by The Americas Collection benefit from a holistic and respectful partnership. We are not simply sales intermediaries but collaborators, advocates, and promoters.
- Career support – We work closely with our artists to shape their exhibition strategies, explore new markets, and build long-term credibility.
- Marketing power—From curated shows to digital campaigns, we give artists consistent exposure in local and international markets.
- Creative control—Because artists work directly with us, they retain control over how their work is presented and sold. There are no surprise auctions or unauthorized listings.
