Epic Cruise Experiences with Park West Gallery

"Notre Dame" by Victor Spahn
Park West Gallery Collection

Dear Park West Gallery,

"We just can't stop smiling!! Dallas and I had THE BEST time of our lives last week on the VIP Cruise on NCL's EPIC. We both wanted to thank you for all of your hard work and planning since I know this is no easy task.

It was fantastic getting to meet all of the artists. This gave us a much better appreciation and understanding of their art, which is important. Also, what a treat getting to talk with Mr. Scaglione and his wife. Both were warm and friendly, making us feel part of the Park West Gallery family.

We are excited about the art we purchased and can't wait for it to arrive. Thanks again!"

"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, Dominic Pangborn, 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 also enjoyed meeting and listening to Albert Scaglione 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. 

We look forward to enjoying our growing art collection for years to come and hope to add more to it..."

"I want to thank you for another great auction on the ship Carnival Pride. This crew of people were the best of any I have been with. I don't usually buy art of this quality, but I will now. I bought 2 Peter Max's and 2 Bellet's. This is just a thank you to the owner and the management for the training and the fine quality you have and the professionalism of your people."

An Epic Park West Gallery Art Cruise

"City Romance" by Marko Mavrovich
Park West Gallery

"Dear Mr. Scaglione,

We are writing to thank you and your outstanding staff for inviting us to attend the NCL Epic Cruise VIP Event to the Eastern Caribbean out of Miami, Florida from January 26th to February 4th. We had the most wonderful time, collected some beautiful art to add to our collection, and met the nicest people. It was the best VIP event, yet! 

Your VIP Event staff is exemplary. Their planning and scheduling of the art auctions, the guest artist appearances, and the social events were all wonderfully orchestrated. We especially appreciated the outstanding selection of art that was available to us at this particular VIP event and the guest artists that were selected to appear. It was a pleasure and a thrill to meet for the first time Andrew Bone, Fanch Ledan, and Csaba Markus... and to see Marko Mavrovich again, who is always one of our favorites.

[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. 

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 Park West Gallery VIP events. Thank you, again, for this opportunity. 

We look forward to other such VIP events in the future."

"A HUGE Thank You to Park West Gallery for an unforgettable cruise aboard the Carnival Triumph! Last year was our first Art Auction and this time far exceeded the first! 

Warmest regards and thanks to [the staff] for being so helpful, [and the] Art Auctioneer (he's incredible, savvy and has the best mysteries ever!!) The chocolate covered strawberries were sheer bliss! A word of thanks to Mary (behind the scenes in Customer Service). 

I'm very happy with my purchases and I look forward to future ones! Much appreciation for making it an unforgettable trip!"

We had a great time meeting people in our group, and really enjoyed meeting and chatting with the artists. We can't wait to receive our Pangborn's and hang them prominently. You [all] did an awesome job, as did your 'art ninjas!' 

Thanks again, and keep us in mind for future trips."

Dear Park West Gallery,

"We just wanted to thank you for a wonderful cruise. We had a great time and enjoyed meeting you, the artists, the rest of the Park West Gallery staff and the VIP couples.

It was both a fun and informative week and I hope that we can do it again soon.

"I am so pleased and so thankful for everything! The minute we met [the auctioneer] and his team, we were immediately put at ease and welcomed! I can't give enough praise or kudos to [him]. His passion, excitement, and presentation are top notch. He also takes the time to educate... again, I can't thank him enough!

We also just received our Tim Yanke pieces (Lone Star and Yankee Doodle) and WOW were we blown away once again! I can't believe I have the opportunity to have them in my house on my walls...amazing.

Park West Gallery, Thank You! Your staff, service and delivery of product are top notch! Thank you to all!!"

"I returned with my wife Rachael on Sunday from a Norwegian Cruise Line trip round the Canaries on the Norwegian Jade. I just wanted to write to say how well I thought the team performed on the cruise.

[The auctioneer] particularly with his art talks was very interesting with stories behind the artists and his style of presentation added value to the cruise. Similarly with the art auctions again, [he] instilled interest in the works of art available. 

To conclude, [the auctioneer] is a great advocate for Park West Gallery, and I wish him and your Park West team every success."

Dear Park West Gallery,

"Ann and I would like to thank Park West Galleries for the wonderful weekend we just spent at the Ritz. 

You and the rest of the staff made us feel like family. We are novices when it comes to understanding and appreciating art and you and the guest artists made the weekend enjoyable and educational. 

Ann and I look forward to continuing our learning experience and hope to continue our relationship with Park West Gallery."

"We just returned home from our NCL Spirit cruise in the Caribbean. We want to tell Park West Gallery 'management' how much we appreciated the service and knowledge of your on-board auction team... (Best we've heard from Park West, and we've heard many.)

We have been very satisfied customers of Park West Galleries for a very long time (our first purchase was in 1993), and the personalized service we received on this cruise even surpassed what we've come to expect from Park West. 

We would very much appreciate your passing on this note through Mr. Scaglione. And, please do pass on our thanks to your Spirit Team."

An Unforgettable Park West Gallery Experience

"Trumpet Conversation" by Anatole Krasnyansky
Park West Gallery Collection

Dear Park West Gallery,

"Words can't describe the January Park West Gallery event in Marina del Rey.

Morris Shapiro handled the auctions and provided great information and insights and the entire Park West Gallery staff did their usual fine job in coordinating the event and making sure everyone was taken care of.

To meet with and hear the fascinating stories of Peter Max, Csaba Markus, Dominic Pangborn and Anatole Krasnyansky and to view the works of these great artists made it an unforgettable experience that we will always remember."

Dear Park West Gallery,

"Thank you again for the invitation to attend this last weekend's Park West Gallery Event in Marina del Rey. What an extraordinary event! 

It was an absolute pleasure to be involved and to enjoy the time together with the other invitees, artists, and the Park West Gallery Staff! 

Please convey my gratitude and appreciation!"

Delighted with Park West Gallery

"Rainbow Connection" by James Coleman
Park West Gallery Collection

Dear Park West Gallery,

"I just wanted to take a moment of your time to inform you of an exceptional employee you currently have.

I recently took a cruise and was delighted to meet some of your staff. [They were] very helpful and informative in the whole process. The one-on-one, personable experience was extremely nice. There was no pressure or the feel of [them] trying to sell anything to us. The entire process was so easy and enjoyable that we did not hesitate the next day when we found a Peter Max that we loved. 

I can say without question that the staff aboard the Gem was a large factor in making our final decisions. I have already told a friend that will coincidentally be on the Gem later this month, about the art auctions and to take a moment and say 'Hi' for me. 

Thanks for the wonderful experience and I look forward to the next purchase from Park West Gallery."

Dear Park West Gallery,

"Just wanted to praise the art gallery team on Carnival Pride.

I was absolutely impressed with [the associate's] knowledge and passion of art. He was instrumental in selling me a Peter Max.

I absolutely love my artwork and am so happy with each piece. [Our auctioneer] and was so personable and entertaining. You have a top-notch team on the Pride and I just wanted to sing their praises.

Once again, truly a surprising bonus to my vacation was visiting your gallery and I hope to do it again in the near future."
