Rant Thread: Well F*ck Me Pink, by Cardiff on Apr 1, 2017 1:35:01 GMT 1, To counter my gallery negativity there were 2 ppl at Laz who were always a pleasure to deal with, sadly they are both no longer there. And black apple always a pleasure too. I really miss Victoria...she was the BEST!
Also had easy dealings with Eric Black Apple Art.

Don't get me started on framers ...
3 of the 5 I've used have turned out to be shall we say, guarded with the truth.

Rant Thread: Well F*ck Me Pink, by Daniel Silk on Apr 1, 2017 2:31:42 GMT 1, I have had one seriously bad month when it comes to art purchases. I have to admit that personal issues with a close family member's funeral has not helped my mood but in a strange way that event has made me think that sitting back silently and turning the other cheek only gets the 2nd cheek slapped!!!
So if you want a rant then this is your thread. My preference is no specific's.
How many times have you bitten your tongue when you knew that exactly the opposite response was appropriate.
My rant just happens to be about purchases or communications I have had directly with artists or their studios as opposed to their galleries. So we all know the potential cost benefit in dealing with an artist direct but are there any pitfalls?
So I contacted an artist expressing an interest in their work. They responded fairly quickly saying they had a few works to show me and subsequently sent me 5 attachments. All good so far. I managed to open 3 of 5 attachments of which one was of interest. I politely responded stating that I could not open 2 of the 5 attachments they sent me and could they please try to resend them.
The response "Actually if you don't see anything in the three pictures you like I'm sure there's nothing in the five pictures sorry"
All I know is if I ran my business like this I would not have one.
So if you just want to rant and not necessarily look for support or contradiction this is your thread.
Could it have just been a language problem? I mean could the artist misunderstood your comment about not being able to open the attachments thinking you were saying you didn't like them? While most galleries are good in communicating in English, but now that many of us are buying art worldwide we will more regularly find communications with foreign artists a problem maybe.

Rant Thread: Well F*ck Me Pink, by Deleted on Apr 1, 2017 9:31:18 GMT 1, I'm still waiting for a commission I paid for four years ago. I think you'll know who it is Neil..... That would make me cross.
It started with understanding then confusion then anger then pity then more anger then despair. I've been told it's very close to being ready to ship so we'll see....

Rant Thread: Well F*ck Me Pink, by mla on Apr 1, 2017 9:34:06 GMT 1, I guess I've had tremendous luck, for the most part. Any artists I've dealt with have been incredibly kind, so much so, that I generally feel bad if I don't buy anything after an inquiry.
My experience with galleries as well have been overwhelmingly positive, barring a brief spat with Studio Cromie.
