Encourage artists to lie on insurance so they don't have to pay import tax on work, no assistance with postage, no compensation for lost or damaged works.
Edit in response to reply:
£100 value for paintings that cost more than that to make and are collectively over £6000, plus saying that the artworks are only for exhibition and not for sale, when they are clearly exhibited for sale, with prices displayed next to them and online, is lying about the insurance value and purpose of goods to avoid import tax.
I didn't say a work was damaged, I said one of them was lost when sending it to you, and I received no compensation. If the works that have been sent back to me go missing too, I will received a total of £100 if I followed your advise.

I had the pleasure to be shortlisted for their BBA Photography Prize and be part of their exhibitions twice. Meeting this amazing team that is running this beautiful gallery was very inspiring. The supportive staff is equally amazing. They are the nicest gallery holders I’ve ever met and they are both very knowledgeable and supportive for their represented artists. It might be well worth to add one of their artworks to your collection, as they have a nose for a new generation of international artistic talent. If there is one gallery I would like to be represented by it is theirs. Make sure you pay a visit when you...
