Simon,

Thank you so much for all you did for Jason and I on the cruise two weeks ago. The cruise was unbelievable. Between the knowledgeable staff, the amazing artists and all the other collectors on the cruise I cannot say enough about it. Jason and I attended a weekend event in Long Island this past winter. I had a great time, but it did not compare to this cruise. Everyone went above and beyond. Any questions were answered immediately. The suggestions given to us for art were right on. The collection was so vast.

The artists we met were so gracious. The week starting with the tour of Peter Max's studio is something Jay's daughter will talk about for a very long time. Noah was extremely open about his art. It truly gave you a different view once you knew who made the art. And lastly, meeting Peter Nixon was truly a delight. He was so down to earth and knowledgeable about art. I could have sat there and talk to him for hours on end. And then when he gave us a special drawing and dedication to Lilly, it truly touched me to his kindness. This experience is one I truly thank you for.

Dear Park West,

I would like to share a very positive experience I had just recently aboard Royal Caribbean's Liberty of the Seas (May 2 to May 9). The art auctioneers Jacqui and Damion made the auctions a highlight of my cruise.

Their knowledge of the art they were presenting, as well as the way they incorporated their personal experiences with the artists made it a particularly meaningful auction. Also, Jacqui's sense of humor is quite entertaining. In addition, the experience after winning an Alexander Chen "take-off" piece was outstanding.

Stephanie was very helpful and friendly when going through the paperwork, and ensured that the piece would be well packaged for my trip home to Naples (and it was when I picked it up). Thank you Park West and to Jacqui, Damion, Stephanie, and the whole team on the Liberty of the Seas.

Sincerely,

Jon Z.
Naples, FL

Park West Collectors Meet Dominic Pangborn

An instant favorite of Park West collectors since joining the Park West Gallery family of artists, Dominic Pangborn’s works can be found in prominent collections the world over. His passion for creating outstanding artworks is only matched by his passion for his philanthropic endeavors.
_____________________

My husband and I met Dominic Pangborn in January 2010 at the VIP event in San Francisco. After meeting, talking and learning about his life story, my description of him is that he is a shining example of the American Dream, come true. He is warm, sincere and very giving. The more one gets to know him and see his art, one can see and feel his genius and emotion.


We have only heard about his new 3-D Art In Motion, and are anxious to see it in person. We are enjoying the pieces of his works in our home. Dominic is a unique and dynamic person who has touched many people's lives with his warm heart, intellect, artistic accomplishments and his charities.

I recently had the pleasure of meeting two of your employees Allison and Shyam. I met them on the Jewel of the Seas in May. I must say that Allison is a ball of fire so knowledgeable, caring and helpful she truly can be in two places in one. Shy is also such a treasure. They made my cruise. To the point that I would book another cruise knowing that they would be there.

Over the years I have purchased a great deal of art on cruises, land auctions and directly from artists and galleries. I have also worked closely with Mike (art consultant) and been well satisfied. Your organization should be very proud of the way they represent your business. Job well done!!

Hi Tiffany,

Just wanted to let you know how much Larry and I appreciate the wonderful time that you arranged for us at the Hyatt in Tampa this past weekend. What a delight it was. Wonderful company, great food, and wonderful ART.

Dominic was so interesting to talk with and having lunch with him several times was a treat. Know we will enjoy the beautiful Blue Poppies he had just done. Will be hanging it on my bedroom wall so that I will see it first thing in the morning. Enjoyed Marko too. So much skill - was great watching him create works as we watched.

What a fun time was had by all at the Gambling Night on the Town. I had never played craps and TRex made it so much fun. He is a darling kid and of all the most helpful, with knowledge of everything about ART. He was great and Larry and I appreciated him helping us at check out so much and of course you too.

Our wonderful English sort of speaking auctioneer was the BEST! Loved his 5ish and 10ish time frames. He too was very helpful and knowledgeable about all things. Plus friendly and enjoyed hearing about his family. "Jewelry Boy" or JB as we called him was a big help in getting Larry to buy me my beautiful Opal and Diamond ring.

Be sure and tell all the staff what a WONDERFUL time we had. You made it all possible though, your arrangements for us were perfect. Was a pleasure getting to meet you and put a pretty face with the voice on the phone. Thank you doesn't cover it, but our appreciation and thanks to all of you come with this. Please be sure to send this on. Our best wishes to you and all the staff of Park West.

Sincerely,

Julia & Larry B.

I wanted to pass along my appreciation and thanks to a great Art Director (and Team) on our recent cruise. Nenad did a great job, was entertaining and provided knowledge throughout the auctions. His Team was supportive and also provided assistance. Thank you for having such wonderful people working for PW and adding to a super cruise experience. We hope to meet them again on a future cruise.

It was my 1st art auction. I had/have no idea about art, really. But, John's sincerity convinced me to buy my 1st piece of art. It was not expensive but it was fun and encouraged me to attend other art functions aboard. I will also, because of that experience consider Park West 1st if I ever want to purchase more art in the future. Thank you, John!

Hi Lisa,

I just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know the Max arrived. What a beautiful painting! The digital picture you sent did no justice to that frame! I thought the frame was more of an oak type from the picture. It’s actually got quite a bit of copper coloring in it and it’s gorgeous!

All 3 pieces of art look amazing and they’ve completely changed the look of the rooms. Please let your framer know what a fantastic job he did for me and that it’s much appreciated.

Thanks again for all your help! Hope you are still enjoying some nice weather up in Michigan. I may have to stop in and check out the gallery when I’m up there next month, although that trip will be a whirlwind. Realistically, it will probably have to be the next trip up.

Take care and thanks again!

Blown Away by Park West Gallery Art Event

I would just like to say that I and my daughter-in-law were blown away by the past weekend's events!!

Please forward to all at Park West Gallery that I would personally testify to anyone that the event was more than we could have possibly imagined.

We started with the majesty of the Rocky Mountains, scenery, the SNOW Storm in May and ended with the incredible mountain range views as we made our way back to the Denver Airport.

The staff at the Park Hyatt Hotel were gracious, helpful and welcoming. The quiet off season was at first odd, but we came to welcome the personal touches that a relaxed schedule and staff adds to the enjoyment. If there was anything wrong, we were not aware of it because of the top notch Park West staff.

Rob, Carolina, Jason, Seth, Meghan and (dear) Oscar worked so hard to keep us entertained, served, and interested. I could not say enough about their kindness, good nature, attention to detail, friendly and professional demeanors!! (On Saturday Night we even dedicated the pop song Control to Rob - which he took in good humor.) All worked so well together as a team and Rob was just a delight with his own style in "running the show."

The selections were oh so beautiful, interesting, and made even more so by the narratives by our head auctioneer Rob.

Thank you so much for the ARTISTS. Mr. Dominic Pangborn was just outstanding, gracious, interactive and his wonderful self! It was so good to be able to reconnect with him and see what was new in the "World of Pangborn." Please thank Mrs. Pangborn for putting up with "Us Fans."

Mr. Tim Yanke was INCREDIBLE.... I did not know of him or his works coming in on Thursday, but by the time we left on Sunday, I was a true fan! I made my first purchase and am hungry for more Yanke pieces. Please thank Mrs. Yanke for putting up with "Us Fans."

Both gentlemen gave us so much attention, insight and information as well as inspiration that I/we could not have asked for more. They talked to all who cared, took pictures, and made special gestures to those of us that truly constituted going the "extra mile."

We hated to leave, but did so totally energized and thoroughly happy. I am still reliving my special time and truly feel privileged to have received this special invitation.

Again, thank you so much.

There were six of us on the cruise (Celebrity Millennium) and we went to the art auction. Four of us have never purchased any art in the past. We had no plans to purchase until we met Martin and Roxanna. They were both very pleasant and very knowledgeable and in the two weeks taught us so much about the differences between lithographs, serigraphs and canvas and embellishing etc.

We learned quite a bit about the different artists and we took an interest in all of that and because of their time and patience, all three couples purchased a substantial amount of art. We all have to admit that had it not been for Martin & Roxanna we may not have purchased any art. Working with Martin & Roxanna were Sarah & Jessica. They were both very pleasant and were willing to help us when they could, as they are still learning the business and are a good asset for your company.

We have travelled on cruises in the past, but have to say your art department on this ship is to be commended for the way they worked together and made our first art purchases so exciting and we cannot wait to receive our pictures. We can not find a bad thing to say about Martin, Roxanna, Sarah & Jessica other than we hope they are on our next cruise.

We just wanted to let Park West know that the four of them are definitely an asset to your company. We did build a personal friendship with the four of them and will have fond memories of them when we look at our pictures. Thanks again to the four mentioned above.

Thank you for the trip to Antarctica. We feel it was the best trip ever with Park West. The scenery, the penguins, and sea lions were just a sight to see. It was just awesome.

Your staff was as usual both gracious and knowledgeable. We want to thank Morry, Jason, Laura, Donna, Jen and Katherine for their time and patience.

Your art presentation was wonderful. We especially enjoyed the sculpture. We are looking forward to having Samuel the Poet in our collection. Adding another Mouly to our art is a real treat.

We are very happy that you included us in your Antarctica voyage. We will remember this trip for a very long time.

Very truly yours,

Tom & Betty G.

Lisa,

I want to thank you and everyone with Park West for a very enjoyable weekend. It was great to meet the artists, Marko and Dominic, watch Marko actually paint and mingle with other people that enjoy art as much as we do. We were very excited to be able to purchase and take home our Peter Max "Flowers" and put it on our wall that night along with our new Tarkay piece.


Dustin, Ashley and Tiffany were extremely helpful and able to answer all our questions. Chris was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He made the art auctions not only informative but very interesting and exciting.

We had a great time, met a lot of new friends, got to actually meet and talk with the artists, made awesome art purchases.....what more could you want from a weekend!

Again, thank you and Park West for your hospitality and an unforgettable opportunity!
