Sadly a very poor experience (if you can call it scam is a different story but not far off) Bought a painting for £9000,- already very pushy at sales process etc, which i should have realised that this is not going well After the sale just more pushing to buy more , luckily i didn’t . Got quite ridiculous on phone calls with pushing to buy more even blaming the artist of my painting that the value hasn’t increased Got promised big pay out from royalties from print sales , NOT A SINGLE PRINT EVER SOLD !!!! On request to refund and buy back the painting at the cost price ( no increase in value) i got laughed at and never a reply to emails etc Definitely don’t deal with Marks Art there are very good and reputable galleries around Sadly i will never see a refund from them , but hopefully no one else will buy from them
Let me save you the trouble: DO NOT, under any circumstances, engage with Marks Art. This so-called company is nothing more than a den of deception and incompetence. If you're considering doing business with them, stop right now and spare yourself the agony and frustration that I've had to endure. My ordeal with Marks Art began in early August when I decided to purchase an art piece from them. Foolishly, I handed over a huge settlement totally nearly 10k. Little did I know that this would be the start of a nightmare. The art piece I received was not what I had paid for, and to add insult to injury, the details of the purchase were mysteriously incorrect in my portfolio, which conveniently, I no longer have access to. When I attempted to reach out to Marks Art to rectify this egregious error, my calls were met with deafening silence. It became abundantly clear that this company had no intention of honoring their end of the deal. After weeks of relentless pursuit, I finally managed to get in touch with someone claiming to be the director of Marks Art on the 25th of August '23. In a pathetic attempt to save face, this individual begrudgingly acknowledged the company's incompetence and promised to correct their mistakes. They even went as far as to issue a laughable "promise note" assuring me that if they failed to deliver on their commitments within three months, I would be entitled to a full refund. Needless to say, this promise turned out to be as empty as the integrity of this sham of a company. Despite their assurances, I never received access to the promised portal to view my portfolio, nor did I receive any hard copies of documentation related to my purchase. But the cherry on top of this colossal mess? The despicable behavior of the company Director, Mark, the supposed mastermind behind Marks Art. This conniving con artist not only swindled me out of my hard-earned money but also robbed me of my trust in humanity. Save yourself the agony and avoid Marks Art like the plague. The Director and his band of deceivers are nothing more than charlatans preying on unsuspecting victims. Do yourself a favor and take your business elsewhere before you become their next target.
I am very pleased with my first investment with marks art. It was a very educational experience for me into the art world. I also made a little profit within my first year. Thank you for the opportunity, to Mark and the team.
Incredibly happy with the service we have received in our first steps into buying art. The brilliant art advisors at marks art educated us and were very honest and helpful with their advice. Would highly recommend Marks Art gallery.
I very rarely write reviews but I was pleasantly surprised by this fabulous gallery. The art advisors were especially helpful in finding me some lovely pieces and prints to add to my collection.
Very friendly and welcoming, went above and beyond to help, can not recommend them highly enough, extremely happy with my art work.
I found a piece I loved in this gallery but I couldn’t make it down to London for a few weeks, after contacting them they kindly offered me a virtual viewing of the whole gallery! The staff were really helpful and accommodating.
Incredible selection of art and sculptures definitely one of the nicest most interesting galleries I have visited in London. I will be sure to return to check out some more pieces.
Good buying experience - I gave a 4 star though as waiting to see my returns on investment.
I was recently recommended this gallery from a family member. The staff here were really helpful and had great knowledge of all their artists and in the end I managed to land on this stunning Becky Shirvani piece which fits perfectly in my home.
A wonderful experience! What an incredible gallery with such kind and professional staff, will be recommending them to some contacts of mine.
I was on the search for a new investment piece I have always loved street style art so the guys at the gallery helped me find the artist Jakob and I am so happy with my new purchase! Thanks to the guys at the gallery for assisting me and helping me through the process I’m sure I’ll be back again soon!
Buying art from Marks Art was a really fun experience. The staff really went the extra mile to help me find the perfect piece for my home making sure it matched our interior design. I had my eye on a few pieces but settled on a Dwizz and I’m delighted with my purchase.
Professional, polite and very knowledgable. A fantastic experience buying art and would recommend to everyone!
What a superb experience, it made buying art such fun and the service I experienced was phenomenal. They were very professional from start to finish and extremely knowledgeable (very reassuring)! Will most definitely be returning and highly recommend this gallery to anyone looking for statement pieces with an effortless buying process.
This gallery has a really great collection of artwork, they were quick and efficient with dealing with my questions! Had great service and will definitely be buying from the gallery again.
Thanks guys, very good experience purchasing a new piece for my living room. Would recommend!
Had a great experience with Marks Art. Beautiful gallery, the team was extremely helpful.
The experience I’ve had with marks art has been wonderful, every member of staff has been honest, open and kind with me from the very start and we’ve managed to build a great relationship over the last year. It’s been a great pleasure being selected to become a client at the marks art gallery.
