Perhaps a few hundred dollars. Of course, not every work of art will appreciate so dramatically. That's why so many people come to us. Just as an interior designer helps you put together the right environment, we help you build an art collection. And it doesn't have to be expensive. You could easily collect an appreciable work of art for under $1,000 . . . See for yourself. Visit the gallery. It's not at all intimidating. In fact, it's quite comfortable . . . Like your favorite sofa." PARK WEST G•A•L•L•E•R•Y Dedicated to the appreciation of art.
