<b><i>Dear Park West Gallery,</i></b>
<i></i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>"Tom and I are so grateful that we were invited to the VIP event in Las Vegas. We were anxious to meet <a href="http://bio.parkwestgallery.com/artists/Peter-Max">PETER MAX</a> and <a href="http://www.parkwest-jacobs.com/">SCOTT JACOBS</a>, what a delight that was. </i>
<i></i>
<i><br /></i><br />
<i>We enjoyed up close and personal conversations with SCOTT JACOBS at dinner as we were lucky enough to have the honor of sitting next to him. We found him to be very personable and willing to share his love of art with people. Thank you Scott, you are just too cute.</i>
<i></i>
<i><br /></i><br />
<i>Meeting PETER MAX was not what I expected. We found him to be a very profound man about his life and mainly his art. I found myself sitting in the front row on about 1/2" of my chair. I don't think I blinked one time, for fear of missing one word from him. We received his book today and I can't wait to sit down in a quiet place and lose myself in it. We are anxiously awaiting our painting 'FLAG WITH HEART.' </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>One of our other favorite artists is <a href="http://www.parkwest-krasnyansky.com/">ANATOLE KRASNYANSKY</a>. When we were waiting for everyone to gather, and I turned around and saw ANATOLE KRASNYANSKY standing there with his cute little wife, I know my mouth dropped open. What a sweet couple, and such a delight to meet. We are also awaiting his painting 'City's Conscience.' What a wonderful painting, with the bottom half being his city scape and the top being of his newer American style.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>And then came <a href="http://bio.parkwestgallery.com/artists/Marko-Mavrovich">MARKO MAVROVICH</a> and what a wonderful personality he exudes. We found him to be quite a character, with his hand painted boots and shirt. We found him to be so unpretentious. He would be great fun to attend a party with, and we suspect he would be the life of the party. Love you Marko.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>We are very much looking forward to attending another VIP event. When you <a href="http://bio.parkwestgallery.com/artists.aspx">meet the artist</a> and find yourself enthralled with their work, you can't help but <a href="http://sales.parkwestgallery.com/collections/">purchase one of their paintings</a>."</i>

<i></i><br />
<i>"I'm a fly-on entertainer with Carnival and have been on 14 different ships performing over the last 18 months. Last week I was cruising with my my wife who 'strongly suggested' we <a href="http://www.parkwestgallery.com/takeatour.aspx">check out the art gallery</a>. It is not something I was interested in doing but since my better half wanted to go, we did.</i><br />
<br />
<i>First, [the art associate] was fantastic. She noticed a certain <a href="http://sales.parkwestgallery.com/results/All/Igor-Medvedev">Igor Medvedev piece</a> I was eying and warmly approached us and told us <a href="http://bio.parkwestgallery.com/artists/Igor-Medvedev">all about the artist</a> and his style. [She] then mentioned the art auction and kindly asked us to come.</i><br />
<br />
<i>The auction was rather captivating. As a person who speaks and performs for a living I was very impressed with [the art auctioneer]; he did a fantastic job: Wonderful cadence, great timing, funny and extremely informative.</i><br />
<br />
<i>I made a point at my comedy show to tell the 500 people in attendance they should definitely go to the art auction... Never have I ever been excited about art... After that experience I look forward to collecting more.</i><br />
<br />
<i>Thanks so much to [the staff]. The 8 weeks it takes to ship them to our place will be long, however I am so looking forward to getting them up on the wall."</i><br />

<i>"I just wanted to say how impressed I am with your employees, both on the ship (Carnival Liberty – Mar 24 - Mar 31, 2012) and off (your customer service and land sales organization).</i><br />
<br />
<i>First of all on the ship, three of the gentlemen working in the gallery were all so very nice it was an absolute pleasure working with them.</i><br />
<br />
<i>To top it all off, every time I walked into the gallery on the ship, these guys knew who I was by name and they all treated me and my friends like we were long lost friends. It was so inviting and it definitely made me WANT to do business with <a href="http://sales.parkwestgallery.com/collections/">Park West Gallery</a>. They are an awesome team! </i><br />
<br />
<i>Once I got home I realized that in the flurry of last minute negotiations, the 'Aloha Bugs' print was not on my final order, so I called <a href="http://www.parkwestgallery.com/tour/customer-experience.aspx?page=1">customer service</a> and explained what happened. (I called the Saturday before Easter, so I was surprised anyone was even there.) They were very nice, listened to me and made sure they understood the nature of my call before they transferred me to sales... I was so very impressed with how nice [the sales associate] was and how quickly she was able to help me out… and all on a Saturday!</i><br />
<br />
<i>So overall… at every step of the way, your folks were professional, helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and most importantly knew how to get the job done. I have purchased from Park West Gallery in the past and I will continue to do so in the future… and of course, I have been telling anyone who will listen what a great experience it was.</i><br /><br/>
<i>Park West Gallery should be very proud of a job well done by everyone I encountered."</i><br />

<i>_____<br />"I just wanted to let [you] know that we had a great time on the VIP cruise out of Miami on NCL. My wife and I very much enjoyed meeting the artists Peter Max, <a href="http://www.parkwestgallery-pangborn.com/">Dominic Pangborn</a>, Victor Spahn, and Jean-Claude Picot. We are very happy with our purchases of the Spahn and Pangborn paintings and are looking forward to receiving those along with our Rembrandt etching. The Park West Gallery staff [was] also very nice. Meeting and making friends with other art collectors was fantastic.</i><br />
<br />
<i>I also enjoyed meeting and listening to <a href="http://www.parkwestgallery.com/tour/albert-scaglione.aspx">Albert Scaglione</a> speak. I felt a strong affinity toward him since we’re both of Italian-American decent from north New Jersey with technical backgrounds, strong faith, and an appreciation of art. His speech concerning the four 'C’s' and his knowledge that true religion is 'taking care of the widows and orphans' was very revealing. </i><br />

<i>[Your staff] are all a joy to be with and to work with. They are extremely knowledgeable about the various artists and the artwork itself. We appreciate that they conduct themselves in a professional manner yet they are very approachable... bringing a nice combination of business and pleasure to the entire VIP event. It is evident that they all love what they do and are devoted to the Park West Gallery vision. </i></div>

<i>Our art collection is growing and we are pleased to be growing it with Park West Gallery. Thank you for inviting us into your family of art collectors. We have made some wonderful memories, collected beautiful artwork that gives us so much pleasure, and made some life-long friendships at the <a href="http://www.parkwestgallery.com/tour/cruise-art-auctions.aspx">Park West Gallery VIP events</a>.

<i>"I'm a beginning <a href="http://sales.parkwestgallery.com/">art collector</a> and I met [your auctioneer] on the first day of the cruise. While I was perusing what I thought was the ship's art collection, he introduced himself and I found him to be personable, congenial and polite. </i><br />
<br />
<i>As we began to talk, he inquired into the level of my art collection/artist and what I like and why. Based on that information, he showed me pieces that I might like. Through his passion and knowledge, he ignited my interest in art. Subsequently, he invited me to attend his mini seminar which I found enjoyable and informative which enticed me to <a href="http://www.parkwestgallery.com/tour/cruise-art-auctions.aspx">attend the onboard auction</a>. </i><br />
<br />
<i>I walked around and viewed the pieces and found several pieces to fall in love with. Unfortunately, they were beyond my means. Feeling my disappointment, [the auctioneer] sat down with me and helped me to learn that we should learn to enjoy the larger pieces and collect the smaller ones. </i><br />
<br />
<i>Through him, I have become reconnected to the <a href="http://theeasel.tumblr.com/">wonderful world of art</a>. I feel a special connection to a special person. Thank you for scheduling him in my path and I would hope to see him again." </i></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"Once again, thank you so much for your letter thanking me and Tom for joining you for a memorable VIP event.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe presented a really special backdrop for the presentations. <a href="http://www.parkwest-jacobs.com/">Scott Jacobs</a> and his wife could not have been more hospitable in opening up their gorgeous ranch to virtual strangers; and Park West Gallery's catering arrangements just added to the overall experience.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Although I had the privilege of meeting <a href="http://www.parkwest-markus.com/">Csaba Markus</a> last year at the Norwegian Epic VIP cruise, seeing him in his natural studio habitat - and having him cook his 'famous' goulash for us was a real experience; and I am looking forward to receiving the original as well as the edition piece I won at the auction while at Csaba's studio.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>As I stated in a letter to you following the Baltic event, I really do enjoy the overall experience of being surrounded by the <a href="http://theeasel.tumblr.com/">artwork and artists</a> - and learning - a continuing educational experience - about the works as well as the artists. The presentations mean a lot to me even if I don't bid on a particular work or artist.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>This was our sixth VIP trip (three on land, and three cruises); and it is still difficult to find room for improvement since the <a href="http://www.parkwestgallery.com/tour/meet-the-staff.aspx">hard work of your staff</a> continues to pay off with the arrangements for the accommodations, auctions, parties, dinners, etc. down to a science.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Again, thank you for all of your considerations, and I, too, look forward to seeing you at future events."</i></div>

<i><b>Dear Mr. Scaglione,</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"I really don't like letter writing, but I do when I feel like it warrants a letter. This episode started about seven years ago when I went on my first cruise. I went out of New York on the Celebrity line.
While on that ship I met one of the <a href="http://www.parkwestgallery.com/tour/meet-the-staff.aspx">Park West Gallery employees</a>. Now I was never an art enthusiast, but my wife wanted to go to the auction, so we did. The Auctioneer made art seem very interesting. I ended up going to the rest of the auction and even let my wife purchase some art. My favorite pieces, being by <a href="http://www.parkwest-bellet.com/">Emile Bellet</a>. Since that time I have been on other cruises. I started going with NCL.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>This cruise, we left New York on September 25, 2011. It was also aboard the Norwegian Gem. I wasn't going to go on anymore NCL cruises, but my son wanted to get engaged on the cruise. So we booked and went. It was one of the best cruises I have been on, and in no small way, your art director is largely responsible.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>I figured I would sit in, on the first lecture. WOW this man is powerful. I know he has to be knowledgeable or he wouldn't be in that position. [He] was an exceptional speaker as well. Since I retired from the police department in 1990 ... I have since been made Master Instructor and my job is to teach new instructors how to teach. I also go around and critique classes. I'm telling you this so you understand that I'm not easily impressed by public speakers. Most I find very boring. However I wish I could get my entire instructor staff to learn what seem to come natural to [this auctioneer]. There have been volumes of books written on the art of communicating. I think you could read them all and still not communicate as well as [he did]. He not only put out so much information at his lectures but made them interesting. You do your self proud by having a man like your <a href="http://www.plymouthauctioneering.com/">Art Director</a> on your staff."</i></div>

<b><i>Dear Mr. Scaglione,</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>I am writing you with regard to my recent cruise to Alaska on the Norwegian Pearl, which departed Seattle on August 21st. My wife and I have <a href="http://sales.parkwestgallery.com/">purchased art from Park West Gallery</a> on a couple of previous cruises, so we intended to participate in the <a href="http://www.parkwestgallery.com/tour/cruise-art-auctions.aspx">auctions on this cruise</a>. You should also know that in our almost 40 years of marriage, my wife and I have always shared our positive feedback with management when we have received exemplary service from employees, believing as we do that positive feedback often goes unreported.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Your cruise Art Director and her assistants and his wife provided us with our best experience on any cruise previously. Not only did they <a href="http://www.plymouthauctioneering.com/">represent Park West Gallery</a> with complete professionalism and enthusiasm, but also made us feel as if we were special and appreciated clients. They were friendly, knowledgeable, informative, supportive and helpful. The art auctions and information sessions were the highlight of our cruise! [The assistant] did a wonderful job when he led one of the auction sessions and we believe he will make an excellent Art Director when he goes out on his own. [The Art Director]’s presentations were not just informative, but her love and appreciation for artists, art history and the topics she covered shone through and captivated us (I am sure other guests shared that feeling as well).</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>I am proud to say that I now own a <a href="http://parkwestgallery.wordpress.com/category/artists-special-collections/peter-max-artists-special-collections/">Peter Max</a>, an <a href="http://rembrandt.parkwestgallery.com/">original Rembrandt etching</a> (albeit it is a recent one), a one of a kind Tarkay (limited edition, hand signed, watercolor embellished) and several new Medvedev’s. Thanks to [the Art Director], I now understand what those terms mean and their implication for our own collecting. We are going to have to rethink almost all of the walls of our house, but what a fun thing it will be to do. We can’t wait to share our art with our friends and family!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Thank you for your time and your choices of personnel to represent your Galleries. We look forward to our next cruise and opportunity to add to our collection.</i></div>

<i>My wife, Fran, and I have taken several cruises on <a href="http://www.pr.com/press-release/285005">Norwegian Cruise Line</a> during the past eight years. Each was distinguished by the ship's opulence, interesting events and top-notch entertainment along with a very friendly and helpful staff. One additional activity also stands out for us; the <a href="http://www.parkwestgallery.com/tour/cruise-art-auctions.aspx">art auctions</a> and seminars.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>We returned to New York on 24 September having cruised to Canada and New England for seven days aboard the Norwegian Jewel. The art auctioneer presented two seminars covering <a href="http://theeasel.tumblr.com/">art history</a> and conducted two auctions. We attended each of these events and were greatly impressed by [his] knowledge, presentation style and enthusiasm. We learned a great deal and now have a much better appreciation for art's various forms, styles and genres. We are looking forward to another such fine experience during our next cruise aboard Norwegian Cruise Line.</i></div>

<i>"I would like to drop a quick note to say how much we enjoyed your <a href="http://parkwestgallery.wordpress.com/2011/11/07/park-west-gallery-on-cruise-radio/">art team on our cruise</a>. [They] took a lot of time with us to show and explain the artists and working to get us the best prices possible.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>We were not planning on getting anything this cruise as we had been offered some VIP packages and were planning on waiting for one of them to buy. However when we met with your team we could not help but to purchase more.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i> What a unique once in a lifetime chance you have offered at a fantastic price. [Your team] was great to work with and I would love to cruise with this group again. They were a very special crew and you could tell they all cared about us as well as each other." </i></div>

<i>"Since our honeymoon on the now-decommissioned Carnival Jubilee in 2003, we have enjoyed <a href="http://sales.parkwestgallery.com/">artwork purchased from Park West Gallery</a> on nearly a half-dozen cruises. Naturally, we have encountered the same number of auctioneers, and dozens of their team members. However, on no other occasion have we felt as comfortable and important as we did on the Carnival Magic's August 14 sailing out of Barcelona.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>[The team was] professional, yet personal. They were passionate about their work and committed to sharing their knowledge with us. Under their direction, we 'graduated' from serial lithographs to Peter Max and <a href="http://www.parkwest-tarkay.com/">Itzchak Tarkay originals</a>, and we couldn't be more pleased.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>As our framed artwork is arriving and making its place in our entryway, we are reminded of the stellar job these three individuals did. We genuinely appreciated their <a href="http://www.parkwestgallery.com/tour/customer-experience.aspx?page=1">customer service</a> and warmth, such that we left our European cruise not simply missing the beautiful ports of call, but the generosity and friendliness of the Carnival Magic art team.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>We hope you will pass this message onto them and let them know that their work has made a difference in our lives. Thank you very much, Park West Gallery, for recruiting such talented people who inspire us. We wish the very best for our home state of <a href="http://parkwestgallery.wordpress.com/2011/07/14/the-official-best-of-michigan-park-west-gallery-video/">Michigan's greatest gallery</a>." </i></div>
