Complaint Review: Mr. & Mrs. Istphan Bernath

Mr. & Mrs. Istphan Bernath, phony characters/ stay away

I am an art gallery owner in Los Angeles and finally after nearly 15 years of tolerating
these two characters Im speaking out. I have a gallery opening special about
six times a year and put out a very attractive spread for my guests including
wine, champagne and generous appetizers. In the fifteen years I have known
these two jokers not once have they made a simple purchase.

They come to my openings and drink and eat the equivalent of a luxury dinner with wine & Champaign.
Mr. Bernath calls himself a painter; he paints murals for Princess Cruise
Ships. He considers himself a major artist and frequently complains about how
poorly paid he is by Princess Cruise Lines. His wife Kathleen after a few glasses
of wine not only complains how bad Princess is but says they conduct art sales
on the cruise ships with so called name artists when in fact some are
reproductions and all the prices are rigged. I once tried telling her to be
quiet about those things but she responded with I hope they shut down the art
sales because they seldom sell her husbands art." Anyway a fair warning to
other S. Cal. Art galleries/ TAKE THEM OFF YOUR MAILING LIST.
