Art Platform NYC Juliette Townsend Scam art dealers New York New York
In November 2015 I signed a contract for 8 months with Art Platform NYC. They promised representation to various galleries a special feauture in a magasine, and participation to international shows.
As soon as the contract was signed it became increasingy difficult to get hold of the so called curator, Juliette Townsend, and nothing at all materialised. Ms Townsend occasiionally answered an email or phone call requesting answers, by giving more and more imaginative excuses, and promising that everything will be all right, pretending to be excited about the forthcoming shows she was trying to make us believe she was organising.
Needless to say nothing at all happened, and apart from a representation on their website none of the things they said they would do was fulfilled.
They are a complete scam designed to fool artists into giving them money, and nothing else.
Every artist on their website that I have contacted have had the same experience. One example of their dishonesty is to pretend they have a buyer, ask for the artist to send his/her work, and then after months of silence they say that the buyer pulled out. The lucky ones, like me, are the ones who managed to recover their works.
