Bidder Reviews for Concept Art Gallery (488)

Concept Art Gallery is always great. It is truly a first-class auction house.

Great auction house, good modern art, have purchased more than once.

The folks at Concept Gallery were amiable, courteous, and responsive, answered all questions, and were very helpful in finding a more affordable and exceptional shipping team to get my large paintings to Texas.

Accurate listings. Easy to bid. Graet overall.

Great item as described. A +

Have purchased several items with them. Answered questions promptly; their service is terrific. Pleasure doing business with them.

I love the item I purchased and it arrived very quickly. This is very important for me to receive my purchases quickly. Thank you

I just received the two pieces of art I bid on and won. I was taken aback when I saw the actual painting up close and in person. The depth and vibrancy shown in the photos was completely lacking in the actual painting. The colors are flat, dingy and quite dirty looking. I will likely not hang it and don’t imagine I’ll be able to sell it as it’s really quite disappointing. This is the second time I’ve gotten a piece of art that was not well represented. That said purchasing sight unseen is risky, but I expect better and will likely just not do this anymore. I’ve had several great purchases from sellers here but art needs to be shown accurately. It costs a LOT of money after auction fees and shipping to end up at this place. I’d rather just find in person.

I’ve bought several items from Concept, and I enjoy it every time. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, epitomizing the ideal gallery experience. I look forward to their future auctions and exhibits!

Great gallery, great people..

Got great service when I picked up the artwork. Would recommend this auction house to others.

The people are very knowledgeable and friendly. I really enjoy stopping by.

Enjoyed this auction.

I purchased a civil war relic bayonet. Nothing fragile or breakable. I live about a 3 hrs drive away from the auction house, so shipping should have been relatively inexpensive. I purchased dozens of said bayonets a year from all over the u. s., and usually pay around $25-$28 for shipping and handling. This auction house outsources to 3rd party shipping. Not uncommon, but they are usually still very fair with prices in line with in-house shipping. The 2 options for shipping had both quoted me $57 + for shipping. I thought it was a spam or gag email. I don't even get charged $57 to ship an entire rifle. 57 freakin dollars for single solitary bayonet within state. Never ever ever will I purchase from this gallery again because of the outrageous shipping costs. And when I requested a smaller box from the shipper, I was told it was their smallest box. I requested a UPS triangular tube, but was told that would be even more handling charge,, as an experiment, i easily fit 24 bayonets in the box they used and still had room for packing foam. I was mad at myself for bidding on the item once I got the ridiculous shipping quote, but was even more furious when I saw the size of the box they sent, and the shipping quote estimated it at 15 pounds. It weighs 1 pound. Buyer beware of the shocking 3rd party shipping costs.

An auction My first online auction was with Concept Art Gallery and it will not be my last.

Truly one of my favorite auction houses. Their auctions always include items I "must" have. The staff at Concept is courteous, professional and patient. I've never had a bad experience after many years of bidding with them.

I can't say enough good things about Concept Gallery, its owners, and its staff. We have learned so much about art and craft attending the auctions (live and virtual) and have added many wonderful items to our collection. The staff is very knowledgeable and, when we have been able to attend auction previews, have answered questions and helped us understand the pieces on which we wished to bid. When we come to pick up our pieces, we find them ready and packed protectively when needed. We have dealt with other auction houses, and Concept is exceptional.

Arrived broken

When I called Concept Art Gallery, they informed me that Henry Koerner's work would be part of the auction. I looked to see what was being auctioned. The bidding process was easy and afterward they sent me the information for payment and shipping. Everything was very smooth and the painting sent shortly thereafter. They were most helpful at Concept.

Love this gallery! Items as described and staff is so helpful!
