Anyone on here have ever deal with "lionel Gallery" in amsterdam? any feedback? thanks in advance Dealt with Lionel many times. He's straight up and reliable but they do tend to be at the upper end of pricing. That said, all pieces I've acquired through them have appreciated well beyond what I paid and the pieces were very hard to find. Hope that helps. |

lionel art gallery in amsterdam, by The Italian One on Jun 9, 2017 21:46:21 GMT 1, thanks! good to hear that, may be they are just too busy and it is difficult for them to give a quick reply, seems like they do not care on selling what they have or to do a quick chat with a customer ready to buy.
the important thing is that they are reliable as it is the first time i will buy from them.

They have some iconic and rare pieces, although the condition of a large number of their Banksy prints and early paintings was a worry to me when I visited... cracks in paint and damage to a number of framed prints.
My wife and I did agree to buy a print in good condition which was withdrawn from sale after they had taken a large deposit and agreeing to pay the price advertised... later sold for more!
Not all smooth that's for sure!

Agree a sale, take a deposit. Deal done in my mind. To back out thereafter is appalling.

lionel art gallery in amsterdam, by Deleted on Jun 10, 2017 1:50:21 GMT 1, I bought a Banksy from them a few years back, which was at the very top end of the marketprices back then, their aftersales were basically non-existent and made me feel like I was buying a hamburger or something. The print was fine tho, so if you don't mind costumer service that much and are willing to pay way over marketprices for prints you are probably doing fine.

lionel art gallery in amsterdam, by Laugh Now 10 on Jun 10, 2017 8:04:14 GMT 1, My experience was a bit different. After agreeing on a price on a specific B print a few years back, Lionel (himself) went silent on a deal and failed to respond to me. Never dealt with him or his gallery again. Great inventory though...but with prices at the top (and beyond) market value.

Expressed interest in a very expensive piece (not Banksy). I agreed to buy the piece, but as we went back and forth sorting the details they increased the price by 10%, twice...told them to stuff it.
They still have the piece
Also do not buy without seeing. They have a lot of stuff in very average condition at mint gallery pricing and then some

Back in France, I sent the list, he chose 4 discs and asked me to add the DOUBLE price announced 48h earlier + 4 discs.
Too much time lost. And I agree, for having seen some works on the spot, the state is average.
