Park West Gallery art appraisals off by 90%

Southfield, Michigan-based Park West Gallery is no stranger to controversy.

The company, which does a brisk business selling art on cruise lines including Carnival and Royal Caribbean, has been the subject of numerous lawsuits chronicled by the New York Times back in 2008 and more recently has been embroiled in litigation with Fine Art Registry, a private company that Park West has accused of defamation for a series of online articles and videos that accuse the company of misleading sales tactics.
