No, you’re not on a cruise ship. Park West Gallery, the international art dealer that has held auctions on major cruise lines for decades, has opened a gallery at 411 Broadway in New York City’s Soho.
Park West is known for hosting live auctions and exhibitions on the cruise ships, partnering with cruises operated by Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, Carnival Cruises and others. It has also offered VIP programs in events around the world, as well as online auctions launched during the COVID-19 pandemic.
More recently, Park West has turned its attention and set its sights on brick-and-mortar galleries. The New York City gallery opening follows the introduction in the last two years of galleries in Honolulu and Las Vegas. Park West has long maintained a fine art museum and gallery in Southfield, Michigan, just outside Detroit, where it is based.
“Park West has always had strong ties to New York,” said John Block, Park West’s executive vice president. “Starting with our remarkable founder and CEO Albert Scaglione, Park West has from its beginnings been drawn to the nothing-else-compares energy and vitality of New York City.”
Park West’s Soho gallery spans 4,000 square feet and two levels, showcasing works from Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Joan Miro and Francisco de Goya, among others. Additionally, the gallery will also show compelling contemporary collections from such artists as Michael Godard, Kre8, Tim Yanke, Hunt Slonem, Yaacov Agam, Mark Kostabi and more.
New art and traveling exhibitions will be featured in the gallery on a regular basis, allowing visitors to always see and learn about a wide range of new and varied artists every time they visit Park West’s flagship New York City location.
“Park West has thousands of collectors in the tri-state area, and many of our artists call themselves New Yorkers. We are thrilled to be opening now and be part of New York City’s art and culture comeback,” added Block.
