Complaint Review: GAGOSIAN ART GALLERY

I have purchase a piece from Gagosian in Beverly Hills from their agent Rossana Lerdo de Tejada around December of 2009, I send a check to gagosian to pay in full for the art piece, according to the emails their agent will take care of the shipping, everything was fine, then I got a quote from the gallery they want it to charge me approx. 1400 dollar's US to ship the piece to Guadalajara Mexico.

I just did not make any sense the piece was 3,240.00 dollar's and y had to pay almost half again, I just didn't add up, I send a number of emails and told them that I was not going to pay for the shipment it was agree that they will arrange for that, so I cancel the purchase via email to both the agent and the manager at their location in California Deborah McLeod and guess what I have never received an answer, I also wrote to the owner in New York Mr. Larry Gagosian, never a simple response, again not a word, its really very sad that a gallery with such a reputation will try to fraud a client of a purchase that was never taken out of their store, never mind if I have pick it up and taken home, I don't wish to go ahead with the purchase I feel that is simply fraud and I will go to any extent to recover this money, in the mean time I will tell everyone to be careful when dealing with them, they should put more attention to their clients needs and demands.
