Cruise Art Auctioneers have Tough yet Amazing Job


The Art Auctioneers maintaining the Park West Galleries on cruise ships around the world lead extraordinary lives. While they do work hard running Park West’s Cruise Art Auctions, they also get to explore all of the exotic locations they find themselves in – all while meeting some fantastic people along the way.

We hope you enjoy getting a glimpse into their activities as much as we do. We also love hearing about your experiences with
Park West at sea, so please feel free to share them with us.

"Since I have joined the Park West Gallery team, I have had some truly amazing experiences. I have sipped espresso in Venice, shopped the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, dove in some of the most beautiful coral reefs in the world, and met and worked with some truly fantastic people.

Abandoned Fishing Boat. Anatoly Metlan.These are some of the perks, now here is what it took to get there. I was challenged like I had never have been challenged before. The eighteen hour days, the hours of studying, the fear of not being chosen, yes, the training was tough, but when I finally took my first ship and banged the hammer on my first sold work, I knew I had found a home.

Yes, we work hard, yes, it’s probably the toughest job you will ever have, but how many jobs can you be in Venice one day and Athens the next? I can’t think of anything else I would rather be doing!"

Park West Art Auctions Are Learning Experiences


Park West Gallery is proud to not only be a reliable source for artwork by contemporary artists and Old Masters, but to also be a reliable source for art education. Art Auctioneers running Cruise Art Auctions and land events for Park West Gallery strive to provide collectors with an understanding of their artwork and the art world as a whole.

Ciel Orageux. Jean-Claude Picot.Thanks very much for the weekend; we had a very good time. I truly enjoy working with Park West as we always come away with a better understanding and knowledge of art after an auction and the time spent with your representatives.

As a result of this auction, my wife and I have agreed to study up on Picasso's work and add one of his works to our collection.

Thanks again we look forward to working with you in the future,

Ken N.

Art Auctioneers Passionate about Fine Art


Park West Galleries can be found on a variety of cruise ships, and they offer passengers a unique opportunity to view and collect artworks from a multitude of artists. Next time you find yourself cruising, check out the Park West Gallery Collection of artwork onboard.

Umbrella Man on Blends. Peter Max.I would like to compliment two of your employees on the Carnival Ship Glory. The employees are Martin and Roxanna!

You could not have two employees more passionate about art and the desire for everyone to appreciate it and also for everyone to buy art.

We found Martin's seminar on art very interesting and informative. We (my wife and I) learned so many new things about art. I bought several pieces from the artist Peter Max and I am looking forward to displaying them in our home.

Dear Park West,

Teal and Gold with Red Arches. Anatole Krasnyansky.Thank you so much for the accommodations when I attended the art auction in St. Louis the weekend of November 14-15.

I absolutely love all your art auctions. The staff is always wonderful and helpful! I love the “excitement” of the auction and it was so great to meet Dominic Pangborn!

Looking forward to the next auction!

Art Auctioneers are a Big Hit with Collectors


Park West Gallery prides itself on providing its collectors with memorable, informative events. Whether you’ve joined us for our Cruise Art Auctions or a land-based event, let us know what you thought. Park West Gallery receives customer reviews regarding many aspects of our events such as the Art Auctioneers, the Park West artists, and the Park West Gallery Art Collection – and we enjoy reading them all.
______________________________________

I attended an art show in Jacksonville, Florida on Dec 11th - 13th. The staff was very friendly and helpful. One of your employees Abigail helped me make some choices and if it were not for her friendly and professional attitude I may not have purchased the artwork. I just wanted to say thank you and I will be doing more business with your company in the near future. I should hope you recognize your employee Abigail's stellar performance and thanks again for making my purchase a pleasant one.

What a wonderful cruise with a wonderful Art Auctioneer. His name is Mario and he is handsome, friendly, and very professional. I never had an experience like that before. He sold me some pieces of art, and I would like to say thank you for having people like him in Park West. My husband and I are very happy. Thank you super Mario and thank you Park West.

Park West Auctions Are Fascinating Experiences


Park West Gallery prides itself on providing its collectors with memorable, informative events. Whether you’ve joined us for our Cruise Art Auctions or a land-based event, let us know what you thought. Park West Gallery receives customer reviews regarding many aspects of our events such as the Art Auctioneers, the Park West artists, and the Park West Gallery Art Collection – and we enjoy reading them all.
_______________________________________

La Femme Adonia. Csaba Markus.Apart from some passing interest in art due to a famous, long past relative (a bloke called James McNeill Whistler), my wife and I had never really been exposed to the art world until this cruise. What an eye-opener!

It was a fascinating experience, made even more so by the assistance - and knowledge - of Daniel who willingly introduced to the likes of Dali, Chagall, Rembrandt, Tarkay, Max and so on. We're still struggling with the differences in embellished artworks, seriolithographs and so on but it's a learning process that we have embraced with fervour.

His enthusiasm was such that we purchased about nine artworks during our cruise (and have probably set our mortgage back 15 years!). Sadly, we could not afford any originals but should we suddenly receive a financial windfall, Park West will be our first port of call - and Peter Max our first choice.

Thank you so much...

VIP Collectors Appreciate Latest Park West Event


We strive to make all of your experiences with Park West at sea enriching and enjoyable. In addition to experiencing the Park West Gallery Art Collection and the Park West artists, it is our hope that you will also meet wonderful new friends along the way. Please keep sharing your latest Park West stories with us.
____________________________________

Snap, Crackle, Pop. Leslie Lew.I want to say thank you for the wonderful VIP cruise on Rhapsody of Seas. It was great to meet both Hua Chen and Leslie Lew. It was even better to see Leslie at work and purchase art from both artists.

I want to thank Morris and Donna especially. Their insights help us create a ‘home’ with many meaningful and beautiful art pieces. Donna has continued to guide us in our collection and is always thinking of what we like and might want to purchase. You must have Morris with you to get appropriate and accurate art history.

I think we started our art collection with a Max “Heart in Flag” over or about 20 years ago. I feel and totally am proud of our collection of Dali, Rembrandt, Agam, Max, Rut, Pangborn, Le Kinff, Tarkay, Lew, Chen, and others. We have and enjoy our contemporary art as well as ‘master’ artists.

Thanks again to Morris, Donna, Tom, Jin, Sebelle, and Kathryn as well as your workers behind the scenes. We really look forward to another VIP event – I can’t tell you how privileged I feel to be blessed with your friendship, advice, and works of art.

Thanks also to Albert for his dedication to Park West and his great dealings for others.

So whether you are inspired to write to us about the Park West Collection offered onboard, the fabulous Art Auctioneers you met, or anything else, we can’t wait to receive your reviews!
____________________________________

Patriotic Series: Full Liberty with Flag. Peter Max.We are writing to recognize a few of your Park West employees. We were on the Transatlantic Cruise Carnival Dream on October 27, 2009 and attended all nine events plus the extra activities.

Chris, Amy, Bill and Yuki made a great team. They were very personable and professional.

This team was very knowledgeable about the art and artists. For novices, like us, they made each event enjoyable and informative. Amy especially made us feel welcome and was a terrific auctioneer.

We cannot say enough positive things about these people. In fact, having cruised five times, Chris, Amy, Bill and Yuki have been the best presenters from Park West!

Sincerely,

Steve and Deanne B.

P.S. We are now proud owners of Peter Max & Romero Britto.

Simon,

La Fenetre du Salon a St. Tropez. Jean-Claude Picot.It was great to see you again. Just a short note to let you know how great the event was. Both Karen and I had a great time. It was, as usual, great to mix with the artist and having one we have not seen before, Leslie Lew. I like her work, it is very different.

We are looking forward to receiving our works so we can enjoy them in our home. I am not sure I can put my finger on one thing that made it a great event but what I will say that it was as good as it was because of all the Park West staff there. Again, thanks for a great event!!

We are looking forward to our next cruises in March ’10 and in May ’10. The only time we purchase artwork is on our cruise vacations.
