Through Park West's extensive network of artists, publishers and representatives, Park West Gallery has the capacity to offer for sale and authenticate works through the artists themselves, or the definitive experts for the various masters whose works they offer.
The vast majority of our collection comes directly from living artist themselves. Our archives of works by deceased artists are either obtained directly from the estates of those artists or purchased through recognized international auction companies, and in all cases, when possible, are taken to the estate of the artists or to the recognized expert in that area for authentication.
Park West Gallery’s collection is available through art auctions around the world on cruise ship, land events held at luxury hotels and our gallery located in Michigan. To view a sample of this amazing collection, click the link below.

History
In 1969, Albert Scaglione opened Park West Gallery in Southfield, Michigan, after being a Wayne State University teacher of mechanical engineering. He bought Escher prints for $50 and was able to retail them for many times that price.
Park West Gallery has 63,000-square-foot (5,900 m2) premises on the Northwestern Highway, employing 200 staff in Oakland County, Michigan and over 1,000 worldwide. It has 181,000-square-foot (16,800 m2) offices in South Florida. Works ranges from $2,000 to a $1 million Renoir; as well as historic artists, it also represents contemporary artists, such as Southfield resident Marcus Glenn and Israeli sculptor, Yaacov Agam, who makes optical and kinetic art. The gallery is open to the public and provides a service for educational visits.
In addition to its main gallery and art conservation facility in Southfield, Michigan, Park West operates a framing and distribution center in Miami Lakes, Florida, and maintains a catalog and Internet sales business. The company also funds the not-for-profit Park West Foundation, which provides philanthropic support to various groups.
Since 1993, Park West Gallery has been conducting fine art auctions aboard cruise ships, and is the largest business in this field, selling nearly 300,000 artworks a year with a revenue in excess of $300 million, on the Holland America, Oceania, Celebrity, Norwegian, Carnival and Regent lines, and formerly on Royal Caribbean line. Park West states that it is "the world's largest art dealer" based on its volume of sales. The auctions, like shows, gambling and shopping, are a popular aspect of entertainment during the cruise, and provide concessionary income for the cruise operator.
Morris Shapiro is the gallery director and has been part of the company for 25 years. He said the gallery has created a "new paradigm in how art is presented to the public".
Park West Gallery does not reveal financial reports, as it is privately owned. Scaglione stated the 2007 revenue was $300–$400 million. Half of its revenue comes from 85 auctioneers on cruise-ships, and the rest of the revenue is from promotions in hotels and sales in its gallery.
These paintings were exhibited on our cruise ship, the Norwegian Breakaway, during our recent trip to Bermuda.
