Pertwee Anderson & Gold - James Golding

[Guy Denning]

I don't know the whys and wherefores, or the truth or otherwise of this blog, but I think it should be posted up here as it concerns a gallery name I've noticed here before.

I've been turned over by venues and dealers in the past, as have friends of mine. The artist is generally the least powerful in the chain of the art market.
Just be careful before you start sending off your work ANYWHERE and do some research first.

He's back then.

Good advice

I'm sure they'll be many artists and past customers that would like to pay James a 'visit' at his new gallery.Thanks for posting Guy.

[jusdeep]

I heard rumours about this a while back, dodgy as hell.

[craigf]

Sean would keep a million miles from James if had any sense, not someone I'd like to be associated with, then again I still have my septum and intend to keep it that way

[Urban Portrait Commissions]

Won't be attending any shows at this new gallery then.
thanks for posting.

Wonder if he's still on the blow?

He did a runner with a lot of false promises of payment, and if I remember correctly owing an orphanage 30,000 quid or something.

The gallery is Pertwee, Anderson and Gold. It opened on 15 Bateman Street in the West End just over a week ago with a big celebrity turn out.

i think you may be getting a bit confused with the Charidee guy. He messed around with a kids hospice, not sure there is any money owing left, but it was a big f**k up. Big up Harveyn who sorted it all out.
but he did do a runner with promises of false payments.

i was very lucky. i had my LV Child canvas for sale at TLSG and picked it up, because they had had it for ages without selling. 3 days later they closed owing shed loads of cash.

There were two charity cock ups, the one Harveyn sorted plus Beejoir did the black and gold statues that were meant to raise money for a Thai childrens charity. Not sure if they saw any of the proceeds I luckily picked mine statues up when I coincidently was walking past and remembered they hadn't been sent yet (actually my ex has the gold one still, but not worth the hassle of trying to get it back)

I collected my black LVC in person from James while he was organising the Doze Green show, although I never got the gold, he made some feeble excuse. Visiting in person is probably the only reason I've got any at all!

I know that some stock was liberated from Lend-st after it closed thanks to PE and others. Although I didn't loose out on the scale of many of the artists involved, this still p!sses me off... As did the number Gold LVC statues became available long after Leonard St closed at stores like Fusshop.

As far as I'm concerned that F#cker still owes me money, I'm inclined to do what I can to address that if I ever see him at his new venture.

Yes I remember speaking to Beejoir at a show in the Brick Lane Gallery and he was evil as f**k about it all. There were hundreds of those statues made and sold for quite a bit, and every penny went missing. Ripping off and artist is bad but ripping of a children's charity is unforgivable.

I was one of the people James riped off......wouldnt pi$$ on him if he was on fire!

[Urban Portrait Commissions]

Its good that this is out in the open, but i wonder if it will help or hinder people in their attempts to reclaim what he owes them. Via pms would never have worked and would have been the wrong way to go. Anyone wants a pal to pay a visit to reclaim some owed money. its the sort of buzz I like(in a chilled out plesant way of course).

[Michael Jacob]

Thanks Guy! Good post

[Chris Keegan]

Good to know.

Good spot Guy. I know a lot of people on here got burned by TLSG.

Mention for the Banksy Forum in this mornings Independent, pity its not a happy one.

[pleaseletmejoin]

Did I read the article correctly, he now wants artist he ripped off to allow him to sell their work to 'make up' for previous misdemeanours? He's got to be deluded if he thinks anyone would trust him to do what he said after tlsg.

[alistairkhalil]

haha yeh.. Lost the plot i think..

[balibob]

Never good when galleries rip off artists. Its a big thing for an artist to get his/her work into a gallery for the first time and when they hear stuff like this, high profile and established artists being duped, they could be thinking 'what chance have i got.

Ask The Stone Roses how to deal with a greedy manager.

For those of you not familiar:

"ALL FOUR members of The Stone Roses were remanded on conditional bail at Wolverhampton Magistrate's Court last Wednesday. The four, Ian Brown, John Squire, Alan 'Reni' Wren and Gary 'Manny' Mounfield, will appear in court on March 6 to face charges of criminal damage amounting to £10,000 inflicted on the Wolverhampton offices of their former record company FM Revolver.

It is alleged that the four carried out a "grudge attack" on FM Revolver's boss Paul Birch as retaliation against his re-issuing of the band's early single 'Sally Cinnamon' (No 48 in this week's chart) and its accompanying video, shot in Manchester without the band's consent.

In the attack cans of blue and white paint are alleged to have been thrown around the interior of Birch's office, covering him and his girlfriend and causing extensive damage. Three cars, including a Mercedes, were also daubed with paint during the attack."

Surely all the Artists are gonna be going along to any show they have, for a word with James Golding

[alistairkhalil]

If I was an emerging artist. I would be thrilled to do a show in a location that good.. even after reading all this.

Its so hard to breakthrough and galleries with spaces such as this.. They have a brilliant opportunity to help talented artists..

Big up Rae from brooklynite!

[Daniel Silk]

Think its a good idea to add the gallery name into the title of this thread

Painful lesson to be had that one, I wonder how much debt TLSG amassed before they went down.

Just sad to see a charity get swindled in the process, the lowest of the low.

[Daniel Silk]

Anyone been along to this show?
