An art gallery in Southfield, Michigan has been accused of swindling its customers by allegedly selling them $594,000 in forged signed lithographs and other artwork. Some art collectors have claimed that the expensive artwork they purchased from the gallery were nothing more than 'glorified posters'.
Park West Galleries bills itself as one of the world's largest private art galleries.
According to an Oakland Circuit Court document, most of the art under contention was bought by self-professed 'unsophisticated collectors' during an art-at-sea auction on a cruise ship.
Park West which boasts of an annual revenue of $300 million, has denied these allegations.
