My Name is Al Ache Latorre I've been and artist all my life and i've shown in many galleries and museums and never had a situtation quite like the one at the (lurie fine art gallery) they have scammed so many people in the short time i've around them.
1st. They have artist reproduce work of other artist and sell them to unsuspecting collectors and they every provide a C.O.A side note they tell the artist doing the work that its for their private collection not for sale but once confronted with the sale they came clean to the buyer and that he was advise the even though the original artist didn't paint it but they gave the collector a COA with the original artist signature and they said the client was ok with in what world does this happen. Mr.Mark Pearlman from Boca Raton is the collector which they scammed i'm sure he is unaware.
2nd.So they have these fake Bansky supposely from Dismaland show in london from August 21 2015 in their gallery first off if they where educated in art the first thing is the provenance of a piece and second they should be familar with the artist work. So the reason i bring this up is they hustled a good friend and collector of mine with one of these pieces to the tune of $3500.00 and when she asked for her money back they've ignored her.
So the next thing they did is sell a piece with mickey mouse on it to a religous leaders husband in boca raton first off if the lurie's would do their homework they Bansky No IMages OR depictions of the famous Mouse but accordiing to Scot Lurie sold this gentleman and original Bansky from Dismaland for $2000. Yeah right this is dispicible.
3rd.they asked me do a colloboration with one of their other artist which i did they sell the piece to the same gentleman they sold the fake bansky for $8000.00 they want to pay $500 to me $3500 to the other artist and they get $4000.00 oh supposely i only 10%of the work sick people no proof of invoice and the other artist must be on a crack beng because he won't answer his phone.
but that was comment made to me by Craig Lurie which i dont know what to believe because he did Call me a n****r in arguement once then denied it. also called the police yesterday on when i asked him over the phone to have my $2600 check for my contribution to the piece which was all that was said by me but he then he went on to say he and his brother had a potential client and did'nt want me around because i may show up with my homies.
who says that oh maybe because of my latin heritage they figure i got homies crazy,good use of tax payer money for two who have not paid taxes in the last three years and claim to upstanding citizens and patriots laughable they also belittled three female students in front of me because they had muslim attaire on while walking out of whole foods on Glades rd.
when i confronted them craig said they sholud go back to their country and i calmly explained to him this their country and he should refrain from those type of remarks.
4th. They will take your deposit and not return it's normal practice for them if you like any documented proof of any of the things i've wrote About Craig And Scot Lurie and The Lurie Fine Art Gallery in Boca Raton please contact me.
