Fine Art Registry vs. Park West Gallery Lawsuit Begins its Fourth Week

PORT
HURON, MI (OPENPRESS).-
Fine Art Registry begins
presentation of its
case against Park West Gallery after the Michigan art gallery has spent
three
weeks presenting its case, claiming defamation, etc. The case is clearly
a
classic SLAPP (Strategic Litigation Against Public Participation)
lawsuit by the
world’s self-proclaimed “largest art gallery” against web-based company,
Fine
Art Registry, which has been outspoken in its criticism of the Michigan
gallery’s sale of inauthentic and vastly overpriced art at “auctions”
primarily
aboard cruise ships, and has provided advocacy and other assistance to
victims
of Park West Gallery’s broadly questioned art and sales practices.
