Review №1

Art Legacy Auction House has sold original art of mine at their auctions for a long time. The collectors who have purchased my work at auction very often contact me directly via email to express how much they love the artwork and the great price they were able to acquire for. They are so satisfied with their purchase, they want more. And they do purchase more. I dont know how Art Legacy Auctions are able to sell my originals and other artists I know at a price that includes the nice framing and shipping. I have purchased some contemporary art from their auctions and being in the art business for 45 years I know that this is outstanding value. With Art Legacy Auction House I am getting some great contemporary art for essentially the price of framing.

Ive seen some negative reviews here, but people need to read before they buy. A lithograph is not the same as a painting. The price should reflect the value of the items and that should be your clue. If something has a starting value of $1.00, you can be certain it is not a real Dali, or whomever. I am impressed with Art Legacy. They delivered my items to the UK in good time, they were helpful on the telephone and the items I ordered were of a good value. Minus 1 star for the somewhat confusing marketing for those who dont know better. More transparency would not hurt.

I have found that of all the Art Auctions On Line the most Reliable and Best Quality is Art Legacy. I think I have bought from most of the Auction Houses and Prefer Art Legacy. I am skeptical of some Auction Houses due to a not so good experience. Everyone at Art Legacy is informative and helpful and pleasant. They all communicate with each other which makes getting answers to my questions very easy.

I have bought 3 lots from Art Legacy through Invaluable. The company first ent me a different Matisse which turned out to literally be a page ripped from a book. I returned it and received a refund. Upon inspecting the 2 additional lots, these also turned out to be fakes glued on the cardboard. Upon returning the lots, the company would not reply to my emails, and Donna literally hung up in my face. Invaluable has tried to help and case is still open. Do not buy from them as they are a fraud.

BE WARNEDDO NOT WASTE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEYMy first piece was damaged. Plus the matting was enclosed with cheap foilMy second piece the matting was again cheaply finished. Returned it and it came back worse this timeThe matting looked like it was cut by a child and now the print is wrinkled. I notified Art Legacy of my dissatisfaction and they did not care to make compensationThis so called company is suspect at bestI HAVE ALL OUR EMAILS TO BACK UP MY ACCUSATIONSYOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

Do not use this auction house.What they say original lithograph is just mass printed poster, which you may buy it at 50 bucks in anywhere.I bought 5 posters, which the art legacy states they are lithographs on auction platform, by over 2000 bucks in invaluable auction platform. I have found all those are just printed posters, not lithogrphs. Check again when you see the name Art Legacy in any auction platforms. They sell just printed poster not lithograph.Un

My husband and I purchased ten or so pieces to decorate our new home. I absolutely love everything and they are very helpful. One item did take longer to receive due to reframing.

Was sold a fake item and have spent the last 2 months disputing the charge. What they claimed to be selling was a 1965 Roy Lichenstein serigraph and what I received was a 2011 mass produced print with a fake certificate of authenticity. It came in a custom black frame and clearly based on the other reviews, this company is aware they are scamming folks. It also came with a fake certificate of authenticity claiming it was a serigraph created in 1965. This is blatant mail fraud.Luckily I was able to plead my case to my credit card company and I highly suggest that anyone else who was scammed does the same. I also filed a fraud alert with the bbb.

Dealing with these guys is very much a Buyer Beware situation.I purchased a print and regret everything.1. The print is 100% glued (think wallpaper) to non-archival foam mount board2. There is a lump of debris trapped under the print, which can never be removed (see point 1.)3. The black mat is similarly glued to the front of the foam board4. The print appears to be hacked from a publication - no straight edges5. The foam board has been STAPLED into the frame6. The Certificate of Authenticity isnt worth the paper its written on but was glued to the back of the frame.An expensive mistake.

Very surprised by some of these low ratings, as Art Legacy has treated me fairly. They are a business though and do fluff up the value of items, but the true barometer is the selling price. I have called them on a passed item that I missed, and they went back to the item, and I bid the minimum, well below the actual value, and won the item at a price they were under no obligation to accept the bid. I think some of the naysayers do not do their homework, as you must understand Art, and to the fella that said you can get the same for half the price on internet, I would say to him the driving force at an auction are the bidders. An auctioneer will put that gavel away when they notice two people bidding against each other, and that to an auctioneer is Karma. Art Legacy is not the catalyst on the final price, but the bidder, and they are a fair business and above board. Easy 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I bought a series of paintings through Art Legacy Auction House last year and they were delivered to my door within two weeks of purchase and they arrived carefully packaged. They also followed up to insure the delivery was as expected.

Buyer beware, very deceptive business practices. Do your due diligence.If you bid on an auction site ,know that you can buy these at most web sites at a fraction of the cost. There is nothing special or of value in any of there art work

Im giving Art Legacy 4 stars. The customer service with Art Legacy is touch and go but Ive ordered from them several times and Ive always received what I purchased. And the packaging is usually tip top secure so I try not to have my cake and eat it too.

They are thiefs. You bid on an item and if the bid is not high enough they tell you there was a reserve on it. And if you are really luck it isnt a fake print
