Please help me out with some advice., by ABC on Dec 2, 2014 19:06:22 GMT 1, Spatial,
There is a large amount of trust between artist and collector/customer once payment has been made. I can't understand why someone would not provide postage details unless it has not been sent. At times unfortunately problems do occur, that's when communicating is most important, so the faith remains. In short a commission is a transaction/purchase and therfore should carry the same rights as a standard sale. Have you asked for a phone number as talking can resolve a fair few issues and put minds to rest.

Please help me out with some advice., by Deleted on Dec 2, 2014 19:31:52 GMT 1, You really do need to try and sort this amicably. I very much doubt any up and coming artist would want bad publicity and, if this was released into the public domain then opinions of the artist would not be favourable. Make one last plea for any information asking why your commission has not been received. Given them a fair but firm deadline, not 2 or 3 days, more like a month to get back with their response. Ultimately you may have to out this artist so nobody else gets treated like you have.

Rembrandt had the same problems and so did Van Gogh.
I know you allready paid but you might need to find out if this is the case and work out a method to get the painting shipped to you even if it costs you a bit more money and get a credit note off the guy for the extra amount.
You never know if his prices pick up it could work out fine.
There again, never trust an artist.

I get the impression that the OP has been contacting the artist direct. It was a commission rather than a gallery piece.
Hope you get it sored OP. Not a good situation.

I hate to say it, but I bet I've been through what the two of you are dealing with with the same artist you are dealing with. If you pm me his name, I'll be happy to share how I resolved it assuming it's the same character. Either way, good luck!

However if it is all the same artist, then personally I think it needs to be announced to save problems for others, as it would be a common problem.
Good luck.

If it is I know another 2 or 3 members who've experienced the same I fear its the same artist. If so add me to the list and unfortunately several people I recommended the artist to prior to my problem. The only thing I would say is if it is him as far as I know the artwork always appears. Painful process all the same and not one I would go through again. |

Please help me out with some advice., by sohohoho on Dec 2, 2014 20:42:53 GMT 1, I'm in the same boat with the same artist! My piece wasn't a commission though, my piece was shown at Art Basel Miami, 2013!!! He has had over $2,000 of mine for a year now. He promised shipment many times and phone calls to explain but neither came to fruition. I told him on October 1st that I no longer wanted the piece and provided my bank details for the refund. I've chased him numerous times since but he hasn't replied to my last email outlining how uncomfortable I feel having to continue chasing. I know of a third forum member having difficulties too

Very, very glad I did not bite. Hope everything gets sorted for those waiting.

Why is the name a secret? because they're holding hope that the mere public airing of the grievance will be enough to resolve it, and don't want to seal the fate of a ruined deal by stoking the flames with an all-out good ol' fashioned doxing. |

Those waiting for art works may fear never getting them and losing money but why add to the thief's pocket buy not letting others know who is stealing money for nothing?
