Thanks for a Marvelous Weekend


Marcus Glenn, Park West Gallery Fine Art Collection
"Marquita & The Girls" by Marcus Glenn
Dear Park West Gallery,

"Our sincere thanks for the marvelous weekend we enjoyed at the Orlando VIP event. You go out of your way to make our stay as comfortable and pleasant as possible.

In particular, [the art auctioneer] and his staff and the other associates are knowledgeable, pleasant and fun to be with, plus we get the opportunity to see friends whom we have met at earlier auctions.

[This art auctioneer] is a wonderful asset to Park West Gallery, and the evening at Cirque du Soleil was exceptional; being able to spend time with the artists -- Linda Le Kinff, Marcus (and his wife Yolanda) Glenn, and the surprise visit from Marko Mavrovich is not only an education, but a privilege.

Thanks to you, we are scrambling for wall space, and proudly display our paintings as we move up in the caliber of our collection."

Dear Park West Gallery...

"I have bought several paintings on cruise ships, all from your company, and I must say I have been very pleased with all of  the transactions. I only wish I had more room on my walls for more. I even went to the extent of remodeling. That's where I have my Peter Max hanging.

High Praise for Park West Gallery Sales Associates


Victor Spahn, Park West Gallery Fine Art Collection
"Red Sails" by Victor Spahn | Park West Gallery Collection
Dear Park West Gallery...

"I have been working with Angela for several years. I do not know who will read this e-mail, nor do I know if it will be of any interest or help to Park West Gallery, BUT, you have an OUTSTANDING employee in Angela.

I have asked this woman repeatedly, for information, pictures of products, opinions etc. and she has NEVER missed a beat bringing me what I requested. I know that she gets paid, probably on commission, but being in sales myself, I know that sometimes, a client can make you work far harder and longer than what your commission compensates.

Any company can hire a 'body' to do the work at hand, but to employ someone who has the ability to maintain their composure, keep a customer feeling like they are important and get the job done at one time is rare. This is your employee in Angela.

I have no idea if this e-mail will help her in her career. I don't know if it will help Park West Gallery in assessing her as an employee, but I hope that by taking this time, someone will figure out how awesome this lady is to a company.

I have never met her, but, I believe what she tells me concerning your products. How valuable is a person to a company that evokes a sense of trust in its clients?

I have asked Angela to send this e-mail on to her supervisor so that it will find it's way to the desk of those who evaluate an employee's worth. Trust me, she is valuable!"

An Unforgettable Park West Gallery Cruise Art Auction Experience


Alexander Chen, Park West Gallery Fine Art Collection, cruise art auctions
"Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics" by Alexander Chen | Park West Gallery Collection
Dear Park West Gallery...

"My family went on a Carnival cruise in August 2010 and we were curious about the art auction. We had never been to an auction before. We never planned to buy any artwork but as we looked at the artworks, we were captured by the beauty of the paintings.

At the end of the auction, we bought 14 artworks (Tarkay, Kinkade, Le Kinff, Mavrovich, Gockel, Glenn) and we also won some artworks. My husband liked the 'Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics' by Alexander Chen but we couldn't budget for it. The Art Director made it possible for us to acquire the Beijing Olympics by working around our budget.

We were so happy and couldn't believe that we actually bought so many pieces. We want to thank [the Art Director] for being very professional and very understanding. He made the auction very interesting and we will never forget that experience."

Dear Park West Gallery...

"I know Ann emailed you right after we got back to tell you what a great time we had. We both thought I should also let you know now that things have settled down that we could not have enjoyed ourselves more.

Your coordination of the event was first rate and the knowledge and attitude of the entire team was extraordinary. You all seemed to be everywhere and always seemed to have an answer to our questions no matter how basic they may have been.

We look forward to getting the art and displaying it. I hope you all get a well deserved break."

Thank You for the Gift of Art


"Albert, Dominic, Cara, and Rob,

Rex and I would like to thank you for the wonderful time we had at Sunriver VIP event. The kindnesses and generosity of Park West Gallery CARES has been overwhelming for our high school Art teacher and students. They will be able to study Art right in their classroom instead of going on expensive trips out of town. The art pieces and books will be used for years to come.

Rob, good to your word, you got Dominic to Oregon and Winston!! Thank you.

Albert, thanks for embracing our Art cause in our community, and heartfelt words for Rex at Sunriver.

Cara, thanks for organizing this donation event and representing Park West Gallery in our community.

Dominic, no words can express our thanks for everything you have done for us and our community. The 'Rainbow Tiger' will proudly watch over the Community Center entrance. The new logo of the cheetah looking through the trees shows how the City has grown-up. Taini, the ambassador cheetah from the Safari has never looked better wearing your tie.

Park West Gallery has shown that people still care about what is important in life, helping others to better themselves. Giving money is temporary, but the gift of art is long lasting and can move the very soul.

Thank you again for all your efforts in making this a reality!!!!"

"View from the Water" by Anatoly Metlan | Park West Gallery Collection
Dear Park West Gallery...

"Great excitement at our home yesterday for the arrival of the six pictures we purchased during our cruise on the Norwegian Gem (October 2010)! They are gorgeous and I can hardly wait to have them framed and hung so we can admire and enjoy them.

This cruise ship had fantastic Park West Gallery staff on board, and with the excellent teaching of [the auctioneer], my husband finally has moved from only enjoying 'photographic, realistic' art, to a wide variety of styles.

I am DELIGHTED!"

"We were lucky enough to sail on the NCL Epic with 23 other couples—collectors of Park West Gallery art. We hope we will be invited to have this opportunity again.

Although we haven't yet looked at our purchases from the wonderful experience, we received our artwork very quickly. How exciting it was to meet 3 artists and purchase their work, as well as see artwork we couldn't see at a regular Park West Gallery auction.

Thank you for the opportunity - let us do it again."

So Pleased with Park West Gallery


Park West Gallery, fine art collection, Linda Le Kinff
Dear Park West Gallery...

"In May 2010, I did the two week Panama Canal cruise aboard the Carnival Elation. I had visited Park West Gallery auctions about six years prior on another Carnival ship and had purchased two paintings that, unfortunately, I did not get framed until recently.

During the two week cruise I attended all of the art auctions. The auctioneer and his staff were excellent. I ended up buying eight works: 3 Tarkays, 3 Le Kinffs, a Barbara Wood and an Andrew Warden. I also had Park West Gallery frame them for me.

The prices that I paid for these artworks are excellent. I am so pleased with all of them. The auctioneer and his team were very patient with me, answered all of my questions and did not try to rush me through my buying process.

I am looking forward to participating in your future art auctions when I cruise."

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you. I enjoyed seeing you again on this last cruise. The knowledge that you have and shared with us is so helpful and very much appreciated. We had a wonderful time and are looking forward to our art arriving.

I'd also like to make you aware of the interaction that Jamie and I have had with Jessica. Since the first time she contacted me she has been so helpful and so professional. She has replied to any questions we've had within a very short time frame and with answers to guide us. Jessie has been so nice to work with and has really made [the process] very simple and hassle-free to complete.

I am grateful for the art that you and your team have helped us to collect, the knowledge that we've gained, and the friendships we have made.

A Note of Appreciation


"Red & Green Overlooking the City" by
Anatole Krasnyansky
Dear Park West Gallery...

"We enjoyed the auctions on the Carnival Valor where we purchased two paintings and won one. One of our paintings arrived yesterday - an Alfred Gockel - and it fit really well in a area bordered by our drapes. We are looking forward to receiving the other one - Anatole Krasnyansky - shortly so we can get a frame to match for our unframed Krasnyansky (which was a take off ) and hang both. We also look forward to receiving the authenticity papers in the mail.

We are looking forward to other cruises so we can attend your auctions again. Finally, we appreciated the friendly manner of your assistants.

All the best!"

Art Collectors Say Park West Gallery Is #1


"PARK WEST GALLERY... NOT JUST #1 IN MICHIGAN, BUT #1 IN INDIANA ALSO!!!!!!!

Carol and I were thoroughly impressed by the first-class act and opportunity with regards to accommodations, itinerary, and art presentation provided to us by PARK WEST GALLERY at the VIP event on the NORWEGIAN PEARL cruise to ALASKA the first week in August of this year.

Having been collectors since 1999, we are very grateful for the opportunity to collect such great works of art from such a fine family at outrageously reasonable and budgetary prices. If the SCAGLIONE FAMILY, complemented by the fine staff of auctioneers and auctioneer assistants, including the great art historian MORRIS SHAPIRO, had not had the intuitiveness, the guts, and the warm heart/concern for other people's art appreciation to venture forward and start this art gallery business, we all would not have ever been exposed to this great, uplifting emotional experience we enjoy everyday of our lives, in the midst of all the negativism that exists in the world.

The inspiration, joy, and satisfaction we derive every day from gazing on our pieces is priceless. We can never thank you enough and words just become idle chatter after a while, so we will show our appreciation going forward with collecting more fine artworks exclusively from this fine family.

Voted #1 art gallery in INDIANA, also.

Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to say what I believe."

Teaching Collectors About the World of Art

Marko Mavrovich "Adriatic Summer" | Park West Gallery Collection
Dear Morry,

"Greetings! [My family and I] truly appreciated meeting you, your wife and daughter during our recent Park West Gallery VIP Cruise in Alaska! [We] not only thoroughly enjoyed the cruise and the wonderful presentations by the Park West Gallery team, but more importantly, the warm and caring demeanor of your associates and the overall flow of the week’s program.

Ever since we started collecting serigraphs and lithographs on cruises in the early 1990s from Park West Gallery, our appreciation for all media and types of art has expanded exponentially. The Park West Gallery team has been the catalyst and has served as our 'mentors' as we learned about artists from the masters to present day. This last trip with your team allowed us to greatly enhance that base of knowledge. Your personal participation provided another key ingredient in our understanding of the world of art.

Morry, you and your family are always welcome at our home in Austin. We look forward to seeing you again soon…thanks for allowing us to be part of Park West Gallery’s VIP program…"

Kindest personal regards,

Dear Park West Gallery Customer Service,

"We just returned from a fantastic VIP event at West Point.

It was an honor to meet and talk with Albert Scaglione. Meeting and getting our photos with Peter Max was a high point. Even the bus trip to and from was a memorable experience, "We'll be there in 3 minutes", on either the lost and/or non AC bus!! Thanks for the memories, Rob!!!

Seeing Nano Lopez with his new Nanimals, GREAT! And of course, seeing our friend, Dominic Pangborn, as a surprise, topped an already priceless trip. It will be difficult to outdo this fantastic 4-day weekend on the grounds of historical West Point.

Thanks to all of the staff, and especially Rob, Carolina and Cara, for taking time to make our wishes reality!! The small touches made for many memories."

I am writing to you as one of your VIP clients to let you know that Paula in your Customer Service Department deserves credit for doing a great job and representing Park West Gallery in the best light.

After a recent VIP cruise I had some issues and Paula helped clear them up and assisted me in a very professional and timely manner. She is a very good asset and in this world of poor service as a standard she has helped Park West increase its image and service quality.

I will definitely be a loyal customer and look forward to future VIP Park West events to further our collection.

Dear Park West Gallery,

"While I am very excited about receiving 'Venice Canal' from the Kinkade contest, I am even more excited about being able to maintain our relationship with Park West Gallery.

My wife and I have been enthusiastic customers since 2005 and have won nearly as many pieces from the numerous auctions we have attended as those that we have purchased. However, the last few years have been financially tough and we have not been able to purchase any items.

Winning this contest brings back a little of the feeling of waiting for the pieces we purchased at auction while at sea."

Dear Park West Gallery,

"Just wanted to let you know that Jennifer and I had a wonderful time at the VIP event in San Diego, CA. We got to see our favorite artist, Dominic Pangborn, and made some new friends by the names of Marcus and Yolanda Glenn. It was also a pleasure to see Leslie Lew again as she is always full of energy and gets the crowd excited about her work.

The VIP team was wonderful. Chris Lindsay is a great auctioneer and his team is excellent. Justin took a great deal of time to make sure we got the art we wanted and the rest of the team was always there to answer our questions and make sure it was an event we would always remember.

We love the Park West VIP experience and look forward to our next one.

I have attached a few photos of the event and hope you will post them so others will know that VIP events are a must for serious art collectors. Meeting the artists and talking to them about their work makes collecting their work much more rewarding.

Thanks again for a great time."

"My wife and I have just returned home from a cruise to Alaska by way of the Norwegian 'Star.' While there were numerous highlights on this trip, one stands out like the Northern Star in the evening sky. Namely, the vast display of your art along with the cordial and professional care of representatives from Park West. Michael did an outstanding job with the auctions and he and his associates are to be highly commended!

Please know of our deep appreciation for helping to make our recent cruise such a memorable experience."

Dominic Pangborn "Geometric - Art in Motion Series" (2010) | Park West Gallery Collection
Dear Park West Gallery,

"Oh my god!!! I just received my 'Art in Motion' by Dominic Pangborn, and I can't sit still -- I stand before it and keep moving to the right and left, making myself crazy with fascination. I can't believe how spell-binding that piece is!!!! I love it!!! (And I love Dominic! It's a great addition to my small collection -- I love geometrics -- and I add this to my Vasarely sculpture.)

Thank you so much for introducing me to these fun to own pieces."

Dear Park West Gallery,

"I wanted to let the fine people at Park West know that Michael T. was WONDERFUL! We really enjoyed the art auction and bought a few pieces. He is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Most of the time companies only hear complaints from customers so I wanted to make sure to pass on the positive praise. It was a truly wonderful experience."

Sincerely,

Dear Park West Gallery,

"I ordered two pieces of artwork on the Norwegian 'Gem' from David G. in April of this year. At that time I thought he was a very genuine person with good ethics. When I received my artwork, one of the pieces had the wrong framing and I contacted him with the problem. He contacted me immediately with the info I needed to correct the problem.

I called the number [David] gave me and was very pleased by the person helping me on the other end. I wish I had gotten her name because she was so helpful and people always complain when they are treated negatively but never give credit to the gracious people. I was told that the artwork would be picked up at your expense and changed to the new framing. Today I received the artwork and I'm very pleased with the framing and the timely manner it was received. Thanking you again and Mr. G. for being so attentive to a new customer who will certainly do business with you again."

Sincerely,

Marge V.

Dear Park West Gallery,

"My husband and I have been Park West Gallery customers since our honeymoon in 2004. We wandered into an auction held on our cruise ship and were fascinated by the beautiful artwork and casual atmosphere. Since that time, we have been Park West Gallery fans and have even helped with several land auctions held in the Chicago area. The art in our home not only reflects our personality, but also showcases the high quality of artwork offered by Park West Gallery!

Thanks for the Thomas Kinkade print!!"

Sincerely,
