Bidder Reviews for Fear Not Art Gallery (71)

We have found that over the years when we ship charcoal pastel flat that more often than not due to the weight and added pressure of what is atop the art (in order to protect it) that more of the fine charcoal powder smudges. When we ship rolled (when the thickness of paper allows) then it is much better. It also depends on what the artist did to the charcoal/pastel after to preserve. We have hundreds of works of pastels and charcoals dating back to the 1940's and it is nearly impossible to avoid any (mostly insignificant) loss transfer onto protective liners even from our storage. Thank you for your purchase.

First, we want to thank you for your purchase. You acquired this fabulous print at an outstanding price. The print you acquired was $75 and hence a ship cost of $25 may seem high based on this ratio (ship to cost), however if a lithograph cost $1500 and the same tube cost $25 then all of a sudden it seems very reasonable. To ship this flat would have cost more. You can always ask what the ship cost would be in advance. In all honesty in 40 years of shipping, this is essentially the first comment we received regarding the shipping cost of a tube cross country. We do not seek to make additional monies in shipping, however we do need to cover labor for our packers, materials, essentials, etc. Nevertheless, we welcome your business and hope to see you at our next auction. We feel inclusive of our shipping costs, our clients can not beat the prices we offer at our auctions on our art. Thank you very much
