New Old Masters Websites
Park West Gallery® recently launched three new websites devoted to the “Masters,”– Pablo Picasso, Rembrandt Van Rijn and Salvador Dali. Park West created these sites as a further resource for collectors and for those seeking a deeper level of knowledge about these artists and their works. Through these sites, Park West continues its 40-year mission of bringing a greater appreciation of art and artists to the world.“There is an overwhelming amount of information about these artists and their works,” said Morris Shapiro, Gallery Director for Park West. “We believe we’ve been successful in focusing the content of these sites to really enhance the experience of collecting for our clients, and to broaden the knowledge of the general public about the works featured in the Park West collection.” Pablo Picasso

There is a disconnect, a separation (more like a chasm) in the art world between the arbiters of what is and isn’t “art” and the American people... Read the Full Article |
