2. Does the image
on your site accurately represent what I will be sent? |
We strive
for a high degree of image accuracy. However, in some cases, the visual
representation may be approximate. Please measure your wall space
to ensure that your artwork will fit on your wall, and for an accurate
representation of your artwork. If you are not satisfied with the
product you receive, you may return it within fourteen (14) days for
a refund. |
|
3. How accurate
are the item dimensions listed on your web pages? |
LaGasse Gallery.com verifies the dimensions of all images on
our site, but due to manufacturing standards, sizes can vary slightly.
If you are not satisfied with the product you receive, you may return
it within fourteen (14) days for a refund. |
|
4. Do you offer
prints or giclées? |
Yes!
We offer Fine Art Giclées of selected LaGasse artworks. Please

|
|

advice on how to hang my painting? |
Yes. Hanging
and lighting tips are included with your purchase. |
|
6. How should
I clean my painting if acrylic glazing was used? |
Many glass
cleaners cannot be used to clean acrylic paintings. Use a soft cloth
dampened with water only, applying only light pressure. Alternately,
you may us a feather duster to remove dust. Follow the same procedure
for oil paintings. |
|
7. Do you have
any retail locations? |
No. We
do not operate any retail locations. All of our services are provided
through our web site and our central order processing facility. We
can be reached M-F 9:00AM until 6:00PM and Saturday from 10:00AM until
6:00PM Eastern Time. Please contact us via
email with any questions. |
|
8. Do you offer
a printed catalog? |
No. At
this time, we do not offer a printed catalog. Due to the frequency
with which we add new items, or existing original items sell, we are
not able to maintain a current catalog. |
|

notified when you add more items to the site related to a particular
artist? |
It's easy.

If you
need help finding an item on our site, please contact
us via email. We will be glad to assist you in your search. If
the item is not available, we will help you find a suitable substitute.
You may also request a special commissioned piece of art. |
|
11. Do you create
commissioned artworks? |
Absolutely!
If you see already something similar to what you need, simply email
us with the item number, and how you would like the piece custom-made
to your request, such as color, size, number of canvases, etc. We
will be more than happy to assist you. |
|
12. Can I order
a painting that is marked 'Original Sold'? |
Yes!
Each piece of art on the site is unique. When the original is marked
'Sold', a similar item may be custom-ordered through the
same checkout button.
These
are considered 'Limited Edition Reproduction' pieces. Limited
Editions are limited to 25 reproductions. Each one is painted by
hand in its entirety; these are not giclées, or prints!
We don't
endeavor to create exact copies, however: each piece is a captured
moment in time, displaying the nuances in artistic vision.
Because the item is painted by hand upon your order,
it will require the following timeframe to create and dry properly
before being able to ship to you:
- Acrylic paintings - (7 - 10 business days)
- Oil paintings - (7 - 10 business days)
- Textured oil paintings - (3 - 5 weeks)
|
|
13. What is the difference between an Original
Painting, and a Reproduction (or 'Limited Edition Reproduction')? |
An Original
Painting is the painting that 'Limited Edition' pieces are reproduced
from. It is considered the 'master', from which the reproductions
are made.
The original
painting is always the most valuable, since there exists
only one (1) in the world! When
you hear of high priced auctions or sales of well-known artists,
such as Picasso, or Van Gogh, the artwork is always
an original by the artist.
The
'Limited Edition Reproduction' term refers to the number
of reproductions that are made of a particular piece of art. (The
lower the number of reproductions, the more valuable each one is).
To maintain a high level of value, we choose to create only 25 reproductions
of each piece.
