Park West Artists Make Art Event Memorable


Park West Gallery strives to create memorable experiences for the collectors who join us for our Cruise Art Auctions as well as our land-based events. Of course we would like to help you add some wonderful artwork to your collections, but it is equally important to us that you walk away with a better understanding of art – and that you meet some great people too!

Detail of It's Five O'Clock Somewhere. Noah.Danielle and I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the weekend down at Reynolds Plantation. The event and the facility were great, but the addition of Noah and Dominic made it truly exceptional! Both artists were just so down-to-earth and so easy to talk with, especially given their “rock star” status in the art world. We had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with Dominic and he is really a remarkable guy – please feel free to pass along our sentiments as appropriate.

We look forward to the next event, and hope that we can be a part of future auctions in the Southeast. Thank you again for a wonderful weekend.

Exciting Park West Art Event in Houston


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.
_________________________

Unfold. Simon Bull.We were so fortunate to have been invited to Houston back in September, which was our anniversary weekend. We started to turn down the gracious VIP invitation because it was a special time for me and Valerie. Wow we were blown away at the reception and personal attention shown to us by EJ and Rob the auctioneer.

They made us feel like VIP's and made our trip the anniversary of a lifetime. Both EJ and Rob demonstrated an incredible knowledge and passion for the artwork and various artists displayed. They were gracious hosts and ambassadors for Park West Galleries as this reflected greatly upon themselves as well as an asset to the galleria.

I still can't get over the experience of meeting Artists such as Simon Bull and Tim Yanke during our visit. How great is it to meet Muhammad Ali's personal artist, even that still amazes me today!!! Tim Yanke was mind blowing. Here you have someone who could pass for an average Joe such as myself, but in no way could be considered as such. He is one of the most gifted and complex artist that I have ever met. His ability to take an idea and attack it like a mad man on canvas with each stroke as random as it may appear to create such deliberate and awesome art work. I hope to have the privilege of meeting him again. I am merely an amateur collector with a passion to learn and collect new and exciting masterpieces, so for someone to extend such courtesy's to myself and Valerie is truly humbling and so appreciated.

Even if we are never invited to another auction, I can say that it was my pleasure and honor to be surrounded by such an awesome staff from Park West and great art enthusiasts such as myself. In closing I would also like to acknowledge the two assistants that helped with the Houston event as they were gracious and eager to assist us with information at the auction as we had lots of questions. I look forward to attending another auction as some point in time.

Sincerely,

Kenneth K.

Susan and I would like to thank Park West for the weekend at the Hyatt in Richardson, Texas. Starting with the invitation we received from EJ, the customer service we received from your staff was above reproach. Rob the auctioneer was not only informative but was very successful in making everyone feel at ease. The schedule was just right as far as the splits between preview, auction, and fun! The questions from all were answered professionally and with expertise. I would also take this opportunity to compliment the rest of the staff! They were wonderful and check-out was very smooth!

Molten Rock. Dominic Pangborn.
The artists that you brought were absolutely wonderful!!! Hua Chen and his wife Maggie were wonderful and we enjoyed being able to meet with them and hear the inspiration for his work! Dominic Pangborn is we believe, a genius. His new art....AIM we immediately bought! Having the artists there and able to speak with us made buying decisions easier!

Thanks again for a wonderful and we look forward to another invitation!

Sincerely,

John & Susan W.
Frisco, TX

A Fantastic Park West Art Collectors Event


Thank you Dottie and John for taking the time to share your latest Park West Gallery experience with us! We strive to provide collectors with unique opportunities to collect fine artwork, meet artists and other collectors, and have a great time – and it seems like this event did just that.
_________________________

Hello from Dottie and John M!

Phoenia Palais. Csaba Markus.We were guests at your VIP event in Palm Springs and I am so happy that I found your website and can write to all of you with "one fell swoop" to thank you for such a wonderful experience. The Resort was lovely and a perfect environment to be with other art lovers. Our accommodations were wonderful, the food fantastic, AND PLENTIFUL.

I especially liked the "Auction and Strolling Lunch" so we could have so much personal time with the artists that you brought to us. And, wonderful artists they were; Tim Yanke, whom I had met before, is such a talented person and so warm and friendly. It was great to see him again. Csaba Markus, a real personality, and that is putting it mildly! What a treat that he stayed with us the entire time. And, last but not least, Anatole Krasnyansky. His life story is so interesting and I loved meeting both he and Csaba since we have some of their pieces.

Now the fun is beginning again as the art we purchased has started to arrive and we can have the fun of looking at it closely and taking our time. Just to believe that it belongs to us and we were with the artists who created these wonderful works of art.

Agape Vergina. Csaba Markus.Jason is a wonderful auctioneer and so knowledgeable and fun to be with. His lovely wife, Laura, is certainly an asset to him and they make a darling couple. Morris Shapiro, you are just amazing. You just blew us away with your intellect about each subject you spoke on. And, Elvis at a Cowboy Show, who would ever believe it???? Sebelle and Jennifer could not do enough for us. I don't know where they get their stamina. Everyone worked so hard, day and night, but never lost their smile and great personalities.

Now a word about Simon - From his first telephone invitation until we said good bye in Palm Springs, he was there for us. Simon and I had met before at events, but this one was the topper. A special Thank You to you, Simon. I really appreciate all that you did to make our trip a success. I know I drive you crazy sometimes, but you hang in there with me!! You are the best.

We really had fun with the entire staff. I think back and just remember laughing and having such a great time! Also, we met so many lovely people that we have already corresponded with. We hope to see them at future events, assuming that we are invited back.

I am so happy with what has arrived so far. "Violin" by Maya Green, "Destiny" and "Avonia" by Csaba. And, I finally received my second Marcus Glenn since November! It is lovely.

Again, thank you all for a terrific event. I feel like we all are friends and I hope to get to be together again some time.

Best wishes to you all,

Dottie and John M.
Bethesda, MD

My wife and I just return home from our long weekend at the VIP Collectors show here in Georgia at the Reynolds Plantation in Greensboro. It was without a doubt the best time we have ever had at one of these events. Meeting Noah and Dominic Pangborn was so awesome!!! They are both very talented and we purchased art from both artist.

Rob also made it a point to entertain us while educating us about the various art on display at the event. As for the Park West Gallery staff, well they were by far the best crew I have seen at one of these events. Rob and his British humor kept us laughing and bidding. Samantha, Lindsay, Oscar and Jason (Fester) were top notch and addressed every question and need without failure.

Bottom line is that when I come to another event, I want this crew to be running the show. GREAT JOB to Rob and Team!!!

Taking Artwork Collection to the Next Level

Julia and I have just returned from our first land auction in Dallas, Texas. We appreciate the opportunity to participate in moving our collecting to the next level. I wish to express our sincere thanks for the amenities provided but in particular the assistance that was provided by Abigail in answering all our inquiries, helping us with our selections and the efficiency in handling our departure. Robert's explanations were not only informative but very educational all of which added to our experience.

Wool Gathering. Hua Chen.
The most important aspect of our first auction was the artists themselves. Both Mr. Chen and Mr. Pangborn not only added to the prestige of the event but to the pieces we purchased. Their personal interaction was so sincere and genuine that words could not express our pleasure in their willingness to associate with every patron at the auction. Having attended events with other prestigious individuals I found their warmth and interest in us not only genuine but equal to our interest in their backgrounds, both personally as well as their artistic pursuits. It made the auction for us.

We hope you will share our thanks to Hua, his lovely wife Maggie and Dominic for making our first event so memorable and to those Park West auction personnel for having provided this opportunity.

Sincerely,

Gerald Y.
Longview, TX

We are very pleased by the pieces of art we bought and are eager to receive them; we are already making plans to find room for the pieces.

We would like you to thank again all the team that work with you to have this great auction running smoothly. Everybody was diligent, helpful and of course courteous even at the end of the event after long hours of work. We really appreciated it.

We wish you good luck for the upcoming events and of course keep us informed for any kind of event that you might think we should attend.

Have a great week,

Hello Amy!

The City's Conscience. Anatole Krasnyansky.My husband David and I were on the Dream on sail date 1/2/10-1/9/10 and we attended all of the art functions except one. We want you to know that we have cruised almost 10 times and have been to many of the on-board art auctions, but never to anything as fun, exciting and amazingly informative as yours.

We did not expect to be so enriched on our vacation and now that we are back, we can't stop talking about it. For us, this was the first time that the art and the artists really came alive and it was nice to not feel odd for loving the art for the art, and not for its monetary or investment value.

You, Chris and Stefon also run very organized events, which makes them all the more enjoyable! We had an awesome time with you all!!! Thank you so much!

Sincerely,

David & Lydia A.
Elkhart, IN

Dear Chris Lindsay (Art Auctioneer),

Tiberina. Csaba Markus.My wife Nancy and I were invited to your VIP event in Newport Beach, CA last weekend. It was a very nice event filled with great art and very interesting artists. We sincerely appreciate the invite and we came away with some lovely pieces. The art and the artists were wonderful, however, I must bring something to your attention. We were very disappointed in…….. nothing.

The rooms were great, the food was excellent but what we most wanted to recognize was your incredible staff.

Chelsea, Dustin, Sam and Tiffany were very attentive and extremely knowledgeable. All the behind the scenes and support from Scott put on a great show. When they set up the Csaba exhibit, it was a "wow."

I want to express special thanks to Chris. He was the inspiration for his crew and ran a great show. He was so personable and spent a lot of time with us throughout the weekend. All the crew were troopers and didn’t let their enthusiasm be tempered by the long hours endured.

Please let them know that we sincerely appreciate their efforts. My wife and I are both in marketing (Healthcare and Aerospace) and recognize real talent when we see it.

Sincere regards,

Greg & Nancy C.
Menifee, CA
