Cheers to Park West Gallery

Park West Gallery recently held a conference for over 100 Plymouth Auctioneering associates – providing services for Park West cruise ship art auctions at sea. The experience was memorable and gave everyone a chance to interact with the artists in attendance – Peter Max, Yaacov Agam, Itzchak Tarkay – just to name a few. Following is a selection thoughtful comments from some of those lucky enough to attend…
