Park West Gallery VIP Event: Las Vegas

"No Shoes, No Problem" by Marko Mavrovich
Park West Gallery Collection

Dear Park West Gallery,

"Tom and I are so grateful that we were invited to the VIP event in Las Vegas. We were anxious to meet PETER MAX and SCOTT JACOBS, what a delight that was.

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.

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.'

One of our other favorite artists is ANATOLE KRASNYANSKY. 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.

And then came MARKO MAVROVICH 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.

We are very much looking forward to attending another VIP event. When you meet the artist and find yourself enthralled with their work, you can't help but purchase one of their paintings."

Dear Park West Gallery,

My husband and I just completed our third VIP cruise with Park West Gallery. We have thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to travel with you and view and purchase amazing art.

One of your associates has been with us on each of our cruises. We feel so grateful to have experienced these cruises with him. He is knowledgeable, professional, kind, humorous, and constantly helpful. Knowing that [he] was going to be on our latest cruise was a deciding factor for us in terms of going.

It was during this cruise that we purchased a Marcel Mouly original. [Your associate] always ensures that our trip will be a wonderful experience. We feel very fortunate to have met [him]. Moreover, Park West Gallery is very fortunate to have him on their staff.

Dear Park West Gallery,

We had the pleasure of sailing on the Fascination [this summer], on the five night out of Jacksonville. We had a wonderful auctioneer.

We are VIPs and have been on many cruises and the auctions he presented were most enjoyable. We are going on [another cruise] over Christmas & New Years, and wish he would be on [board] with us!

Dear Park West Gallery,

 

I wanted to thank you for the excellent service we received from Park West Gallery following the purchase of 3 Csaba Markus serigraphs. Your service department [was] exceptional...

The 3 pieces now hang in our living room and are the showcase of our collection. My wife and I look forward to acquiring additional pieces both on future cruises and direct from your gallery.

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,

Making Fantastic Memories at Park West Gallery Events

"Making an Entrance" by Dominic Pangborn
Park West Gallery Collection

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."

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."

Park West Gallery's Superior VIP Team

"Dear Mr. Scaglione:

We want to personally thank you for the opportunity to join the Park West VIP Alaska cruise on July 22 - 30 leaving from Seattle, Washington. It certainly was the highlight of our art collecting experience.

Marko Mavrovich "Via Marina"
Park West Gallery Collection

This was a first in many areas for us: our first Park West VIP event, our first trip to Alaska, our first cruise aboard the Celebrity Infinity, our first meeting of Marc Scaglione and Morris Shapiro and your other superior associates, our first purchase of a Mouly, and our first meeting of artists Alexander Chen, Nano Lopez, and Marko Mavrovich.

The Park West VIP 'team' on this cruise was outstanding beginning with our initial contact person, Donna. It was a pleasure meeting Marc Scaglione and Morry Shapiro. They both were very professional and excellent representatives of Park West Gallery. Morry's presentations and his exceptional knowledge in the field are exemplary. Their assistants and auction team were a joy to watch and work with. Jason, the event auctioneer, was talented and entertaining. Laura, the event coordinator, did a fabulous job. Se'Belle, Anne Marie, and Jin were perfect assistants and hostesses. Katut and Domingo worked hard moving the artwork as needed. It was very evident to us that the Park West 'team' all love their jobs and have a high regard for each other.

The selection of artwork presented was superb! We thoroughly enjoyed every VIP Art Auction and social event and learning about the various artists including the videos. We were treated like real VIP's and it was fun. Our accommodations and other Park West activities planned were excellent. We are anxious to receive our newly acquired artwork.

Thank you, again, for this wonderful opportunity to be immersed in the Park West world of art. We enjoyed meeting others who also share our passion. Thank you for making this memorable experience possible. We look forward to more VIP Park West events in the future."

Sincerely,

Phil & Kathy R.
