Galerie Jen-Art
Fake art-refusal to refund money

On February 18, 2009 I received a phone call from a representative at Galerie Jen-Art, Shawn Mayo, assuming I wanted to do business with him. I asked why HE was contacting me instead of the representative I had dealt with for my recent art purchase of $9000 from Galerie Jen-Art. In response, I found Mr. Mayo's explanation and reaction to my question a very rude and unprofessional approach which was aggravating to the situation he described to me. In addition I informed Mr. Mayo that I had not received a certificate of authenticity or appraisal with the recent purchase of a Luis Sottil artwork which I am accustomed to receiving with my purchases. He said he would look into that. This Luis Sottil artwork was touted to be one of six valuable works which was on display in the Walt Disney World Animal Kingdom. I have discovered that the work was actually reproduced by someone other than Luis Sottil, ad infinitum.

On March 20, 2009 I demanded a refund of my money from Galerie Jen-Art and this is when my nightmare began. Joe Cohen, the owner of Galerie Jen-Art refuses to take responsibility for the misconduct of his company and was rude, obnoxious and condescending to me. His behavior I found very offensive and unprofessional. He had numerous, unending accusations about everyone else connected to my purchase transaction, but refused to accept responsibility for what his company sold me and refused to refund my money.

I want to warn anyone who has purchased art through Galerie Jen-Art that this has happened. I would like to hear from anyone who has purchased, particularly a Luis Sottil artwork, through Galerie Jen-Art. Maybe we can stop this company from taking advantage of its clients, for I am positive I am not the only person who has been cheated. Galerie Jen-Art, a company that lies about the art it is selling at THESE PRICES
should not be allowed to do business.
