Perspectives Art Gallery

I bought an original painting from this gallery at an exhibition. They told me they had to keep it for 2 months until the exhibition was done, and they couldn't give me a receipt...they didn't know how! Stupid as I was, i took them at their word, and left the painting with them. Through various circumstances (hurricanes, train derailments, etc), I never went back to pick up the painting...keep in mind...they never called to tell me it was ready to be picked up...they never e-mailed me to tell me it was ready to be picked up...but they blame me for what happened next because I left it there so long. They finally delivered the painting via a neighbor. It was not the painting I had purchased...it wasn't even an original painting...it was a print! I contacted them, and their first response was 'you never came to pick it up...and all sales are final'! I explained that this was not the painting I had purchased...that in fact it wasn't an original, and they COMPLETELY disavowed that I had purchased an original painting. I confirmed with my neighbor who was at the same exhibition and actually had bought a print of the original painting I had bought that this was NOT my painting! I have nothing from them to show what I had purchased. Right now, I truly believe I will hang it in the bathroom in my basement!
