Cruise Ship Art Auctions Scams

Deceptive business practices by art auctioneers.

Cruise ship art auctions scams. Is located and headquartered in Southfield Michigan and is the largest operator of art auctions on cruise ships in the United States. The other is the whole port shopping marketing program. Borotescu told us that the company operates on 100 cruise ships and claimed that the art aboard the Navigator of the Seas alone was worth 3 million.

1 of 13 things to do in Southfield. An American teacher was even kicked off a holiday cruise for handing out pamphlets that warned other passengers about the onboard auction. I had no idea that the art auctions are such a scambut then I havent attended one.

I too am an art appraiser and it is so discouraging to recieve requests for appraisals of these items. Now even without the huge mark-up. Is Park West a legitimate company to deal with.

As if any decent artist would risk association with these recalcitrants. Some of them written by former Park West employees. The cruise ship auctioneers would like you to think that their art is a good investments but many web publications state otherwise many suggesting that they are a scam or at least a very bad investment.

For instance Holland America Line partners with London gallery ArtLink to showcase works from emerging artists including hosting lectures cocktail parties and visiting artists that some times will join the cruise to talk about. They are in the business to humiliate relaxed people and con them into buying art that doesnt exist. This post will cover the actual buying process not necessarily the legitimacy of any or quality of any of their artwork.

We cant wait to see you there. Park West Gallery Inc. Amazing that people who admit to being naive novices regarding art would spend 57000.
