Do consider using the Quote facility next time.
The effect of your comment and helpful warning to others was foreseeable โ i.e. likely to result in a deletion of the original post by the member who wrote it.
Quoting a post preserves at least some record of shenanigan attempts by dishonest people who later wish to destroy evidence and cover their tracks before returning to the shadows.

My experience - dude offers stuff for sale that is not his to sell; In my case it was a LIITA. If you search through the forum, there are other members that have had similar or worse experiences. |

He would randomly stop communicating then send a pic of his kids and say sorry I was busy. Then he'd fall off again. Prices were high anyway which makes what anotone said make sense....probably not his to buy.

If this is not true then its a pretty poor way to stoke up a conversation about a print

WANTED: Banksy Prints & Canvases , by Quinnster on Aug 15, 2016 6:58:07 GMT 1, I'd really like to put this whole conversation to rest, everything I've ever posted on this forum for sale, I own or had owned. The LITTA was sold, all COAs from Pest Control are in my name and I have paid invoices for every piece I own along with extensive provenance. And it's getting personal about my health issues and I want to be plainly honest, I've been battling a substance abuse dependence on prescription pharmaceuticals for the last decade of my life, that is why I fall off the map sometimes. I've been completely honest in everything I've ever posted and would appreciate this being put to rest. Coming out and divulging my personal medical issues and battle with addiction is something I'm not proud of but I'm clean now and would really appreciate it if you could be empathetic to my health. Within the last month, I've purchase three RETNAS off the forums along with the 14 print Zeds print set and am looking to acquire some Banksys, signed or unsigned. I am a partner inHexagon Gallery and have never lied or deceived anyone, it's true sometimes I have to take a month to myself to get my health in order. If you would like for me to provide you with purchases I have made within the last month and am in negotiations to purchase several pieces. If you have any further questions for me, please pm me so I can answer any concerns you may have. The art world is a small community and I don't want my name tarnished, i can provide any info including invoices for pieces I've listed, the Jose Parla I had listed was sold through a paddle8 auction. I really hope this puts this to rest, I'm a man of my word and hope this message about my personal health issues can shed some light on things. Thank you kindly Peter Andreas
Ok then at the very least you and you partner should change your accounts to galley owners, just so everyone knows.

Thank you for understanding about my health issue, it's a daily struggle that I have to deal with. I have never been deceitful or intentionally lied to anyone. All of my posts have been accurate, wherever I had posted a piece for sale, it belongs to me, is in my possession and have documentation for provenance on each and every piece. I've been trying to purchase Banksy prints and canvases for an exhibition coming up here at the end of the month.

WANTED: Banksy Prints & Canvases , by HEXAGON on Aug 16, 2016 14:40:17 GMT 1, Hi everyone. I thought I would take a minute to step in here as a few forum members contacted me personally on my phone to notify me of what was going on here.
I am the owner and founder of Hexagon Gallery, Ryland Behrens. This is my one and only account (rarely used). I am delighted to see that so many people swarm on things like this and are quick to notify and protect each other.
I have known Peter since March of 2015. He came to me as a client when I was the Director of Revolver Gallery. I am sorry to see that some of you have not had the best of experiences. Our relationship started with an almost six figure purchase of works by Warhol. I cannot speak for anybody else here, but as for myself, his invoice of 90k or whatever it was, was satisfied in full and without difficulty. Unusually fast, too - now that I give it a think, I believe funds were sent and deposited same day. We later met up in Silicon Valley last year during the art fair and developed a friendship outside of just a client/dealer relationship. I have brought him into my home and around my personal collection and he has been very good to my family and I. So in my experience he has been very good to us on our end.
I was going through the posts and saw fraud claims. Certainly, it's a bold claim and one nobody should take lightly. I have never experienced this. I see that the main complaint is him not replying to emails, but I don't see anyone here stepping up saying that he took there money and ran, or sold a stolen work... just that he has his personal thing and sometimes drops off of the face of the earth. Regarding the LIITA that he had, I sold one for him to an emertius profressor in Hamburg, Germany this year. If that is the item in dispute, I can vouch that it was his and sold on his behalf by me. The same client has since come back and purchased a LIITA signed AP from me.
Has anyone here been ripped off by him? Not to my knowledge or the knowledge the board it would seem. Has he taken money and skipped town on anybody here? Has he sold anyone a stolen artwork? No. So... there's that. I am sorry to hear that his not replying in ta timely manner to emails has caused such an uproar.
To be honest - I come from a very traditional gallery background and buying and interacting with people on the buy/sale of artwork on an online bulletin is completely outside/alien of how things typically happen in the industry. Obviously, the Banksy market is an exception here. Between running my gallery and also a tech brand, I simply don't have the time to patrol the forum landscape for deals and things to purchase. Peter however, does and will contact me from time to time with "Hey, did you see this? This came up on the forum, just an FYI its for sale and the price is fair". It's more to notify me of purchasing opportunities I may miss outside of a more organic and in personal client interaction and sales environment. He is a friend to me and wants to be helpful and throw things in front of me from time to time.
That is all. Hexagon Gallery consists only of yours truly. I run the social media, do the website updates, SEO, marketing campaigns, sales etc.
If there is ever any confusion you have on my gallery brand, I'm available to address. Just shoot me an email or PM. I am happy to squash or address any concerns or misconceptions.
Thanks!

A little more than 24 hours ago, Peter Andreas Bostrom stated on this thread, "I am a partner inHexagon Gallery and have never lied or deceived anyone [...]".
Based on your confirmation that Hexagon Gallery consists of you only, it sounds like the first limb of Bostrom's statement is, at best, highly misleading.

The same client has since come back and purchased a LIITA signed AP from me. Has anyone here been ripped off by him? Not to my knowledge or the knowledge the board it would seem. Has he taken money and skipped town on anybody here? Has he sold anyone a stolen artwork? No. So... there's that. I am sorry to hear that his not replying in ta timely manner to emails has caused such an uproar. To be honest - I come from a very traditional gallery background and buying and interacting with people on the buy/sale of artwork on an online bulletin is completely outside/alien of how things typically happen in the industry. Obviously, the Banksy market is an exception here. Between running my gallery and also a tech brand, I simply don't have the time to patrol the forum landscape for deals and things to purchase. Peter however, does and will contact me from time to time with "Hey, did you see this? This came up on the forum, just an FYI its for sale and the price is fair". It's more to notify me of purchasing opportunities I may miss outside of a more organic and in personal client interaction and sales environment. He is a friend to me and wants to be helpful and throw things in front of me from time to time. That is all. Hexagon Gallery consists only of yours truly. I run the social media, do the website updates, SEO, marketing campaigns, sales etc. If there is ever any confusion you have on my gallery brand, I'm available to address. Just shoot me an email or PM. I am happy to squash or address any concerns or misconceptions. Thanks! A little more than 24 hours ago, Peter Andreas Bostrom stated on this thread, "I am a partner inHexagon Gallery and have never lied or deceived anyone [...]". Based on your confirmation that Hexagon Gallery consists of you only, it sounds like the first limb of Bostrom's statement is, at best, highly misleading. |
