What People Are Saying

"My experience working with Steve Spargur and his team has always been positive. Installations at private residences, whether seemingly simple or unnecessarily complicated, were successfully completed on time and on budget. Most recently I experienced Steve's ability to partner with multiple entities involved with public art installations. I appreciate his attention to detail, project management abilities, and his calmness. Los Angeles has lost a good one. Santa Fe is lucky to have him. I wish him all the best on this new venture."

"I have had the good fortune to know Steve Spargur for more than thirty years and have the highest regard for him personally and professionally. He has an extraordinary breadth of knowledge of art handling, packing, crating and storage techniques. He is extremely thoughtful and meticulous in his care of works of art and always goes the extra mile to make certain that precious objects, whether they be diminutive works on paper, large paintings or massive sculptures, are never put in jeopardy. Equally important, Steve is an exceptionally nice person, with a generosity of spirit that makes him a complete pleasure to work with."
Lisa Lyons  |  Collector, former curator



"Over the course of many years, Steve Spargur has moved and installed a large number of sculptures of mine, without any problems.
He analyzes the work to be done and outlines a plan.  His rigging skills are top notch, and safety is always a priority.  There are no suggestions I could make to improve on his service and quality of work.  I trust him completely, and already miss working with him.  He is the best.”

He operates professionally on all levels and is particularly good at interacting directly with our valued clients and establishing confidence and trust throughout all stages of a project. He is adept at crafting the safest and most efficient strategy for safely installing artwork, based on his technical expertise and ability to put the right team with the right skill set together to make it happen. You can’t go wrong with Steve at the helm!"

"As a principal of a long-established private art conservation firm based in Los Angeles, I learned long ago to rely on the expertise of Steve Spargur to provide consistent and excellent support for art handling, packing, transport, and specialized assistance with complex installation or conservation-related operations. He has always assembled teams with just the right skill sets for any demanding project. Steve always manages to provide ideal conditions for onsite examination and conservation treatment of a wide range of sculpture and artifacts. He is fully conversant in the latest methods of seismic protection of vulnerable works of art, and has extensive experience meeting the most demanding specifications for crates required for international transport, whether for individual pieces or entire collections. He always works with the best, whether riggers, crane operators, specialty fabricators, conservators and collections care specialists. Major museums, collecting institutions and top private collectors have been our mutual clients  for years."

"I have worked with Steve Spargur for many years (through L.A. Packing/Crozier Fine Arts) on many art installations, including several outdoor sculpture that had intricate installs requiring cranes and other equipment.  Steve is meticulous and precise in his work and he took extraordinary care in handling the art. He would always find a creative solution to overcome any obstacle that presented itself during installation so that the installation would be just what I envisioned. Steve was a pleasure to work with, and he always responded timely to my requests. I highly recommend him with any art installation and know that the result will be first- class."
