Witness Intimidation, Lies, and the Cold Hard Truth for Park West Gallery and its Dali Inventory
Richard English and his wife, Tracey, are two more financial fatalities in a long and never ending line of Park West Gallery victims. Richard English testified at trial for Fine Art Registry. Though Richard English and other Fine Art Registry® witnesses were harassed and intimidated by Park West Gallery’s lawyers in an attempt to keep them from testifying at trial, the slime ball tactic didn’t work and it hasn’t worked from the beginning when Park West Gallery tried to keep our expert witnesses from testifying at deposition and at trial.
Richard English drove from Maryland to Port Huron, Michigan, in order to tell his appalling story of abuse and rip off by Park West Gallery. At the time, Mr. English was out of a job and desperate as many Americans are today to find work. It didn’t help that he was holding worthless, unauthorized, and forged Park West Gallery works of art that he could not sell. Before he learned he had been scammed by the self-proclaimed world’s largest art peddler on the planet, Richard hoped that he could sell the Park West artwork to help him make it through his tough financial times. After all, Park West Gallery and its fork-tongued salesmen represent that the artwork they sell is “investment” grade artwork; that it can be sold for many times its original purchase price and that Park West Gallery will buy the artwork back–all of which is a bald-faced lie. The bottom line: There is no secondary market for Park West Gallery artwork. And all the conjuring in the world won’t make it so.
Like hundreds of others, Richard English is still waiting to be refunded for the forged and fake artwork he purchased from Park West Gallery years ago. He is currently suing Park West Gallery. And while Richard English and others who are out of work wait for justice to prevail in the court system (which Park West Gallery expertly manipulates to its advantage with their numerous junk-yard dog lawyers around the country), the fat cat, Albert Scaglione, remains firmly ensconced in his lavish empire, resting in the lap of luxury while his lawyers keep the fee meter ramped.

Park West Propaganda - Does anyone buy this rubbish?

Park West Gallery “Dazzle ‘Em with BS at All Costs”
Park West Gallery must truly believe that its customers are just plain dim or altogether brainless. Perhaps they are much too trusting in the far-fetched and completely unreliable verbal representations made by Park West Gallery concerning artwork purchases, but they are far from being stupid people. Most of them know that where there is smoke there is fire. It only takes getting burned once before they catch on.
Fine Art Registry® just received from Park West Gallery victims some of the most incredible Park West Gallery propaganda we have seen to date, titled, “Documentation of the Park West Gallery Salvador Dali Collection.”
The victims, who will remain nameless for obvious reasons, purchased Dali works of art from Park West Gallery, which surprise, surprise turned out to be forgeries. When they went to sell the “great investment” (or so it was represented by Park West Gallery) they suddenly learned that what they had purchased years ago wasn’t at all what they had bargained for and so they demanded answers from Park West Gallery as to the Dali prints’ authenticity. These victims wanted answers, but as usual what they received was the same old song and dance–the same trash that Park West Gallery has been disseminating for years, but this time with a twist. Park West Gallery is just piling it higher and deeper than ever before. Oh, yes, it’s the same Park West Gallery baloney. Ridiculous and outlandishly concocted stories of its Dali inventory and how it came to be signed (wink-wink) by the Master–a snow job of a package that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the specific Dali print these victims purchased–gobbledygook at its best. Fine Art Registry can’t count the number of times that Park West Gallery has revised, changed, twisted and perverted its so-called “provenance documentation” (which can’t be taken seriously at all) on the Dali inventory they peddle on cruise ships and at its VIP events.
