Sharing Art Knowledge, Expertise and Insight


"Heaven Sent" by Noah | Park West Gallery Collection
Dear Park West Gallery,

We would like to express our sincere gratitude for including us at the collectors event at Ritz Carlton Bachelor Gulch. It was indeed a pleasure to meet [Mr. Shapiro] and have the opportunity to share in [his] knowledge, expertise and insights of the art community. The beauty and majesty of the location and the friendliness of the group combined to offer a memorable weekend. It is always special to meet the artists and realize the inspiration and vision behind their works. Your staff took the time and effort to make us feel welcome and their efficiency and gracious service did not go unnoticed. Once again, Thank You. We are looking forward to receiving our artworks."

"Sorry this is so late in coming. I think of dropping a line but everything I think of seems lame. I am so insignificant when it comes to art. I wish I had brought a notebook to your talks on some of the older artists so I could have taken notes. The paintings were so soothing; you could have just one and be happy. I need to take an art appreciation class from you... Anyway thanks for all of your hospitality and talks. We enjoyed both."

Our Trip with Park West Gallery Was a Great Experience


"Big Thunder" by Tim Yanke
Park West Gallery Collection

Dear Park West Gallery,

"We want to express our thanks to the whole Park West Gallery Team. Everyone made the experience highly enjoyable, and we came away with a greater knowledge and appreciation of art as well as some very nice pieces that will be beautiful additions to our collection.

Meeting Noah, Tim, and Leslie (again!) enriched the experience and added depth to the art that each brings to our world. It is valuable to put a personality to the art that we have. Please thank them as well for their efforts when the opportunity presents. 

We also know that it takes a great deal of work behind the scenes to make an event work so seamlessly, and we want to recognize the efforts of all to make the week as wonderful as it was. 

Please pass our thanks along to all who worked so hard to make our trip with Park West Gallery a great experience."

Art Collectors Love Park West Gallery VIP Treatment


"Late Night with Friends"
by Anatole Krasnyansky
Park West Gallery Collection

Dear Park West Gallery, 

"I just wanted to thank you again... even the FedEx deliveries are VIP! They call me to schedule a convenient delivery day/time and treat the delivery as very special. I did not think the Park West Gallery VIP treatment continued beyond the wonderful cruise. I have about 8 boxes here that I haven't even opened yet...Chanukah in August!"

"We just went on a 12-day cruise in Europe with the Carnival Magic. As you well know, Park West Gallery has a team on this ship. We went to all their auctions and events and we really want to say that we have never seen anything like it. It was AMAZING! The job they did was beyond great. They took the auctions, events and customer care to a whole new level. They made fun events and auctions with a fantastic atmosphere and energy. The art was presented in a perfect way both in the gallery and during the auction. We bought quite a few paintings and we are more than 200% amazed at the customer care and they work they did in all parts of the cruise. [The auction team] did the best job we have ever seen on any cruise or land auction or gallery. Park West Gallery should be proud to have all of those people on their list of employees and we think you are very lucky to have such a talented, knowledgeable and skilled team!"

"Everyone we met from Park West Gallery these last few days made us feel like a part of the family. And, more than that, all of the people who attended became friends. We are actually in contact with some of them now! The artists whom we met couldn't have been more personable. How lucky Park West is to have these people represent the gallery."

Dear Park West Gallery

"A big note of thanks to your team for being willing to share your knowledge of the beauty of art. I enjoyed immensely learning about all the new and most recent artworks, seeing how an auction is run and most all, meeting you all. The best of luck to you all in your endeavors to educate people (like me) in knowing the wonderful World of Art."

"Karen and I had a wonderful time at the Park West Gallery land event in Philadelphia and we wanted to thank you for introducing us to such a fabulous time. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting the artists Dominic Pangborn, Alex Gockel, Linda Le Kinff, and as a special bonus, Peter Max! We bought three great paintings and can't wait to see them on our walls. The auctioneer, and genial host, helped us to enjoy every minute of the event. He and his associates are to be commended for all the hard work they did to make this a very successful meeting. We look forward to another event in the future!"

Dear Park West Gallery,

"I just wanted to write and tell you what a great time we had on our cruise. The art dealer and his staff were the best we have dealt with. He was very well informed about all aspects of art and artists. His way of dealing with clients was exceptional. We purchased 4 paintings and are very pleased with them. Peter Max is one of our favorites and now we have 4 of them. Thank you for the wonderful service.

Laughter and Wonderful Memories


Park West Gallery, David Najar
"The Blue Coast" by David Najar | Park West Gallery Collection
Dear Park West Gallery,

"I want to comment on my experience last weekend with your team from Park West Gallery in Balboa, CA. 

I went and didn't know what to expect. I have to let you know that it was one of the best weekends. [The auctioneer] and his team were the most friendly, knowledgeable, and made my friend and I feel so comfortable. My friend has cancer and the laughter and quality of the weekend brought healing to her soul. Thank you for that.

I went not wanting to spend anything and $6900 later, with no regrets and wonderful memories. The artists that I met were amazing, David Najar is upcoming, from what I understand. Please let me know when he is showing again, his personality is priceless. And Scott Jacobs captured the room and our hearts, along with his nephew Todd.

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this event. You should give [the auctioneer] a raise!!!! Thank you again, I know that sometimes you only hear the bad, and its important to know that you are doing something right, and you are."

Outstanding Customer Service at Park West Gallery


Park West Gallery, Simon Bull
"Jazz Club XXXIII" by Simon Bull
Park West Gallery Collection

Dear Park West Gallery,

"First let me say that I've had nothing but great experiences in dealing with Park West Galleries

I've been to several auctions at sea and several land auctions. My entire art collection has come from Park West Gallery and any further art purchases will only be made through Park West Gallery. 

I must single out Lisa for her extraordinary efforts in helping me with my latest purchase which happens to be my first original painting. Without her outstanding Customer Service and attention to my situation, I doubt that this transaction would have taken place. 

I also know that I will absolutely love dealing with Lisa in the future and would recommend her to anyone interested in the world of art. Park West Gallery is lucky to have her. 

Kindest Regards,"

Park West Gallery Treats Collectors Like Family


James Coleman, Park West Gallery
"Midnight Blue" by James Coleman
Park West Gallery Collection
Dear Park West Gallery,

"In December 2010, I was contacted by a Park West Gallery Art Consultant, who invited me and a guest to attend a Park West Gallery VIP Cruise aboard the Norwegian EPIC.

The Park West Gallery Staff Members were great. They treated each guest more like a family member instead of a customer. There was no pressure to purchase anything, the staff only wanted to show off the awesome art collection on board. Our auctioneer was not only knowledgeable about art; he was also very personable and made each guest feel truly appreciated.

The artists lined up for the event were phenomenal. Meeting Tim Yanke, James Coleman and Nano Lopez was an opportunity of a lifetime. The artists were very friendly and took the time to talk to each guest, not in hopes of making sales, just meeting new friends. We had no intention of purchasing any additional artwork, since we are still trying to find room on the walls for all the artwork we already purchased from Park West Gallery. After meeting the artists, we purchased several new pieces of art.

[The Art Consultant] advised me it would be an experience of a lifetime if I were to attend the Park West Gallery VIP Cruise. He was absolutely correct in his prediction. We are grateful for having been afforded the opportunity to participate in a Park West Gallery VIP Event.

I would like to commend you for having such a great staff.

Very grateful art customers,"

Artists Surprise Park West Gallery Collectors


Park West Gallery, David Najar
"My Golden Palace" by David Najar
Park West Gallery Collection
Dear Park West Gallery,

"We're just recovering from a fantastic weekend at the Balboa Bay Club in Newport Beach.

It was the usual outstanding Park West Gallery event, but this was made even more memorable with the presence of Anatole Krasnyansky, Itzchak Tarkay, David Najar, and a surprise visit by Scott Jacobs. There was also a phone conversation with Tim Yanke during one of the auctions.

To say it was a thrill to meet and talk to these world renowned artists is an understatement.

We can't wait to display the piece by Krasnyansky and two more of Tim Yanke's works to go along with his beautiful Kokopelli. I wrote to Tim and told him the family room is going to be called the 'Tim Yanke' room.

[The auctioneer] and the rest of the staff made us feel as special as the beautiful Newport surroundings.

Thank you."

"I really didn't know who to write to but I just wanted to thank Park West Gallery for the fabulous weekend my husband and I had in Huntington Beach, CA.

This was the first event we have been able to attend and we were only able to stay Saturday and Sunday but we had a wonderful time.

Meeting Itzchak Tarkay, David Najar and you especially surprised us with Scott Jacobs - who is such a great guy - it was such a pleasure. Scott even got on the dance floor with us on Saturday night.

Thanks again."

Park West Gallery, Providing Art Education and Appreciation


"Pierrot" by Marc Chagall
Park West Gallery Collection
Dear Park West Gallery,

"I want to thank you personally for all you did to make our VIP cruise so enjoyable. Behind the scenes, you went the last mile to make certain that we had a great time and your wonderful personality got us off to a great start from day one all through the remainder of the trip. You made certain everything was perfect, were friendly all the time and smiled, smiled and smiled some more. And then ran one of the most effective auctions I’ve had the opportunity to attend. I hope you were pleased with the overall results… I know Amy and I are excited about the five new additions to our home..."

"[Your art auctioneers] are Awesome! They were extremely knowledgeable and were a huge help in getting our art collection started. We bought our first Peter Max, some Chens, quite a few Kinkade pieces and some animations for our son's room. I believe that we are going to enjoy all of this artwork and it would not have been possible without their help."

"To give a plug to your presenter/auctioneer on our cruise up through the North Pacific Coast Islands and fjords off Canada and Alaska. My wife and I attended several showings... The point of this note is to say how impressed we are/were over her presentation and a mini-bio of Rembrandt as a pioneering master of graphic arts and founder of techniques of putting his creations on so many different media. Art history lecturing with ECLAT!! An education and appreciation...beginner's class 101...but fun as well."
