Thoroughly Pleased With Park West Gallery (Customer Review)

There’s something about meeting an artist in person that makes collecting their art even more enjoyable. Through art auctions on land and at sea, Park West Gallery continues to fulfill our mission of bringing art to everyone, connecting art collectors with internationally renowned artists…

Simon (Art Auctioneer),

We just wanted to drop you this quick note to say how thoroughly pleased we were with the VIP event at Boca Raton Resort and Beach Club. Everything was so well coordinated and you and all the other Park West staff were so helpful, we really appreciate all of the effort that each of you put into the event.

We thank you for your help and advice in selection. Your knowledge of art work and price points is helpful. We were able to speak at length with Meghan at dinner and really enjoyed her; she will be a great asset to Park West. Tiffany, EJ and Sam were also very helpful. Chris Lindsay is now our favorite auctioneer ever, (and we’ve had a few) so we hope to see him again. We appreciated the humor and educational information that each of you brought to the auctions. Great job to a great team!

The amount of time allotted for viewing/auction, free time, and evening events was perfect. And it goes without saying that the Boca Raton Resort was first class.

We have collected numerous pieces by Dali over the years, many from Park West and are always looking to expand that collection so we were of course disappointed in our unsuccessful bid and also at how few were available. The consolation is that our piece by Leslie Lew will have special significance since we met her and so enjoyed her. And then there is…Marco, what can you say about Marco – he is so much fun! We so enjoyed meeting and spending time with him.

Thank you so much, Simon, for including us in this program. We hope to see you at another event in the future.”
