Igniting Interest in Art

"Verde Fiesta I" by David Schluss
Park West Gallery Collection

Dear Park West Gallery,

"I'm a beginning art collector 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. 

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 attend the onboard auction. 

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. 

Through him, I have become reconnected to the wonderful world of art. 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."

Just a Short Note of Thanks

Dear Park West Gallery,

"Just a short note to say 'thank you' for the invitation to cruise with Park West Gallery to Bermuda — Ray and I had a great time. We really enjoyed meeting Marko, Tim and Leslie. 

You have a wonderful staff that helped make our art collecting an enjoyable experience. It was fun meeting and being with people who have the same passion for collecting art.

Hope to see you again."

Dear Park West Gallery, 

"Please convey to Morry, Albert and Mitsie, and all of the people associated with the August auction event at the Henry, we were thrilled with the artists and the access to them. Everyone treated us like royalty. We were not expecting this type of event. Again, thank you for the invitation and the hospitality."

"[Your associate] provided the kind of customer service and sales experience you would wish for each transaction. I contacted Park West Gallery after looking for sources for Tarkay art online. I also remembered the Park West Gallery auctions in Champaign-Urbana in years past. [Your associate] responded to my request, and over the next three weeks, responded to my questions with detailed advice and suggestions. Our e-mail exchange numbered 10, and I also called and spoke personally with [her] on one occasion. The result was a sale for Park West Gallery and a purchase that met my expectations entirely. With the anticipated arrival of the COA by separate mail soon, this transaction will be concluded, very satisfactorily for me. I have spent a lifetime in customer service, and wanted you to know how helpful I found [your associate]."

We Really Enjoyed the Park West Gallery Art Collector Cruise

"La Desire" by Csaba Markus
Park West Gallery Collection

Dear Park West Gallery,

"We just received our last piece of Csaba Markus art, wow. We always enjoy your auction events but we really enjoyed our last collector cruise on NCL in April. All the staff is so easy and fun to work with, they make you want to come back again and again. Thank you to everyone for being so nice and kind. Meeting and taking pictures with Marko, Nano and Marcus was an honor. We love all our art but for the first time we purchased a beautiful sculpture by Nano that is extraordinary. We can't say enough about how wonderful Park West Gallery is to all art lovers, new and old collectors. We look forward to being invited to your next collector cruise."

Park West Gallery Art Auctions Are Informative and Fun

"Lilac Cottage" by Thomas Kinkade
Park West Gallery Collection

Dear Park West Gallery,

"[The art auctioneer] and his staff were very friendly, intelligent and extremely knowledgeable in their work. They were always smiling and happy.

Every single person on staff made me & my fiancee's trip. Because of their hard work, creativity and energy, we bought paintings that we never thought we would. We will follow them for our next cruise.

I will always highly recommend them to anyone that is interested in buying an art piece. THEY MADE OUR TRIP GREAT!"

"We enjoy the print that we purchased during our cruise trip back Oct. 2010, on the Norwegian Jewel.

My mother & I have fond memories of the art shows, how helpful the art auctioneer was and his informative knowledge!

Now, when I visit some art galleries here on the north shore of Long Island, or the Hampton's, I'll have confidence in what I learned from Park West Gallery!
