"All of us at Gallery One thank you for your kind words. Taking good care of you is our pleasure."
Pricing is high retail. Once you buy, especially with originals there is not any way to ever sell your art unless you want to pay a 50% commission of a today's lower priced estimate of what I was told my art DEVALUED to. As an example, I purchased 5"X7" small Dean Morrissey painting that was OVER $3400.00. Todays prices are only about $1000.00 for an 8"X10", so I would be lucky to get $400.00. I love to buy art, but when I was left on my own to try to sell my original paintings and not even offered an option to exchange or buy up I was disappointed. After spending over $10,000.00 I thought that consideration would be given when one wants to redecorate. Very Disappointed. Previous management was family and several THOUSAND dollars spent after management change. -----UPDATE TO GALLERY ONE REPLY: They revised their comments so I revised my rating. I am a customer who spent over $10,000.00 for original works of art. I am sure that there are others like myself. Consideration needs to be given especially to customers who have original works of art to help locate appropriate new homes out of respect for the art. Original pieces of art take months or years to complete and demand a different level of respect. If a customer caretaker up-sizes, downsizes,or just redecorates, new caretakers are sometimes needed for the change. Putting paintings in attics is really not acceptable. When I inquired aver the internet to other galleries in other locations they all told me that they always help the customers of the owners of original works of art. I was told that It is a win-win situation since the customer usually buys something else.
"We are deeply sorry to hear about your experience. In this particular instance, your purchases were made under former management (out of our current control). Regarding price, as a rule our originals are priced by the artist themselves. If given the opportunity, we would happily work with you to make sure any additional experiences you have with us are satisfactory and on par with our reputation of going above and beyond for our customers. We would encourage those visiting us on Angie’s List to view our other reviews and our website to gain a good of understand of the kind of quality we can offer."
"On behalf of our entire staff, I thank you for your kind words. It was our pleasure to take good care of you."
"Thank you for your kind words and for letting Angie's List members know that we took good care of you. We are looking forward to assisting you with your next art project."
