The presentation of the exhibitions are professional certainly impressiveLy curated. But the owners Y and R also conduct other businesses in the same facility. The one thing that is really bad about this Gallery is they don't pay the Artists exhibit with them abroad, and they don't return their artwork either, even though they are contracted to do so. They steal their art if they send it to another country for an exhibition, for example, to China. They reach their contract with the Artist. They promised to buy the Artists painting one of paintings if it doesn't sell in an exhibition and then they don't follow through they claim they don't have the money. When asked to return give the paintings back they don't do it when insisting on returning it because it's not their property they dragged their feet and the Artist is lied to repeatedly and promised and then they can't the Artist can't even get in touch they're constantly not available. It's very dishonest operation or Artists to get involved with. It is better not to do business with them. My works was a masterpiece it was. I did not want to send it to China. They talked me into it as promised to be paid in full with a 50% commission taken and I would be paid promptly at the 30 days after the fair. The fair was not successful. The works did get into the Shanghai Museum, but we did not get paid phone call at the phone call email after email message after message promise after promise and still, they did not pay for it and they did not return the artwork. Some of it was promised to be returned and wasn't returned. It proved to be holy unethical holy dishonest it was it's grand theft apparently because there are anywhere from 17 to 20 people who have not received payment and not receive their paintings back and this has been six months already people keep asking keep sending letters even certified letters I sent a letter that was a demand for payment after talking an attorney and it wasn't honored. They have not honored anything I was promised my painting back. It should've been here on June 30. That was the deadline cause I was told I had to give them a deadline. I gave because the attorneys representative told me that they were lying to me and not to trust them and to give them the deadline. And that's what I did just like I did with my demand for payment that they ignored. They make themselves invisible so you can't reach them no matter how many times you call right to them text to them in particularly Yuka. You don't get a response once in a blue moon you might get a response and then she tells you something and she's going to do and then she doesn't do it. I would not advise any Artist to exhibit a this Gallery abroad. The only time to exhibit with them is in-house and there's no guarantee that if you work, Cell that you will get the money owed to you based on my experience with them abroad. When I discussed it with another Gallery today, he said it's a scam. They're a scammers. They stole your Art. They probably sold it and they kept the money. At first, I was told my painting was sold in an auction when I did not give authorization for them to sell it in an auction, I wanted it back if they didn't sell it or I wanted my payment in full as promised if it wasn't sold. They did what they wanted to do and there was no way to check on what they did. I'm not the only one there were approximately 20 of us in the show and not a single one of us got paid not a single one of us got our artwork back. It's been seven months already since it's been in China we kept getting promises we'd be paid month after month no matter how many times they were contacted when one person or another would eventually get some kind of word it would be that it was coming as a certain approximate time. Well that was, but it didn't come and when contacted again, they were invisible. This is one of the galleries that people say" oh I've heard of a Gallery that doesn't pay the Artists". Theyb sell they work and they don't pay them. Well that's this Gallery. That's my experience and the experience of all the others in the show I was in everybody wanting payment, and not getting it trying to reach them and not getting a hold of them if they get a hold of them getting told another lie one lie after another promises promises promises. Sure it was a beautiful show here in St. James, New York, but after that is a mystery. I'm we were in the Shanghai Museum. read more
