Great gallery with a huge back room, so they probably rotate what is on display regularly.
Went with my friend and her four year old son. Like taking him to art galleries but would not take the average four year old to a gallery that has Picasso's in touching range.
Please post this phone.
According to their site "Baterbys is happy to offer our art consignment services. Our team works diligently to find the right buyers for you, at home and internationally, through our vast network of loyal clients."
So I stopped by today in hopes of talking to someone about what steps I'd need to take to do this. I walked in, and after a minute a woman came out of the back to greet me. When she saw me, she stopped hesitantly and stood back and asked what I wanted, looking at me apprehensively. I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt as I was out running errands. I explained to her what I was looking to do, and she looked me right in the face and said they do not offer consignment. I said I had a Miro, Lebadang, Dali and a few others. Not only did she say they don't do that, but seemed to have NO IDEA where I could sell this artwork. It was obvious I didn't look the part she expected and therefore I was unworthy of even being in her gallery.
While it was a nice looking gallery and my fiancee had wanted to visit in the future and possibly make some purchases, I would now never set foot in this place again, as the staff member flat out lied to my face because I'm assuming she didn't like the way I look. What a horrible and unprofessional way to do business.
Avoid this place at all costs, seems like a shady business run by biased and judgmental people who are snobs.
Update 2022: I see they replied and basically accused me of either lying or being friends with some of their competition or something? I have no idea who their competition is, nor do I care if my factual review of what actually happened to me hurts their business. If you don't want it to get a negative review, don't treat people poorly. I have owned multiple businesses in my life and would never treat anyone like that.
