Take 121 Gallery

Jeff Bayer - Stolen Painting

They sold some of my drawings, which I made no money on, and an overall terrible gallery experience. Fortunately they failed as a company.

I should have taken their name literally.

Not only did the gallery owner simply let most of my work sit in a back room drawer the entire time he had it. Without my permission gave a piece to an interior designer and/or realtor for a high end Nashville condo staging. That person (so the gallery claims) stopped responding to any calls or texts and simply stole my work. I was informed of this when I went to pick up my work because the gallery was going out of business. Another waste of time and huge expense, only at my expense no one else’s.

The gallery owner? he was still living in his mansion, did nothing to help, didn’t care at all. Typical people taking advantage of me and my work. But just one in a long line of human disappointments.

Lesson learned, charge more. Get paid upfront. Galleries work for themselves only.
