12/01/08 - Happy New Year - To all our friends for 2008.

 

02/04/07 - Dali Exhibition - We at De Lacey are extremely pleased to offer for sale works by one of the 20th Century's most famous artists, Salvador Dali.  We have procured a suite of 11 prints signed and numbered by Dali himself.  Our advice to collectors is to act quickly as we envisage these selling out very soon.

 

 

18/08/06 - Freshening up - As you can see we have changed the look of the site once more, we hope you like what we have done.

 

12/07/06 - Shopping Cart - The De Lacey Fine Art Website is pleased to announce the inclusion of a new shopping cart system to aid in the ease of transactions for our clients.  We still offer our full advisory services for every piece of Art we sell and indeed still offer our telephone sales option, if you would like more information or just a chat about a piece you would like to buy then we are only too happy to help.  The shopping cart system is fully secured giving you, the buyer, an increased level of security for your online purchases and we have already had several clients making good use of the new facility.

 

 

The Gallery...

 

As De Lacey Fine Art was in the process of moving Gallery the City of Liverpool quickly became a building site.  Access to certain areas of the city was restricted and trade in the city was down in all sectors with specialist traders suffering the most.  The Building work of course being for the 2008 European Capital of culture, and the general regeneration of the City which has had a major impact on all shop owners and companies within, it was now constricting all the traders who had no option but to make the best of it.  De Lacey Fine Art did have an option and exercised that option to not re-open the gallery during this uncertain and very difficult time in Liverpool.  We decided to keep trading on the Internet and see if the situation would change.  It didn't.  More of the same was on the cards for the City of Liverpool and although these changes will make a world of difference to the trade in the City upon completion and no doubt even before, it seemed ludicrous to open a Gallery in the middle of a building site then wait 3 years for the building work to be finished knowing full well that any possibility of access to the City and Gallery would be a trail in itself.

 

We know full well that we can't wait to until 2008 to open a new gallery so we have arranged alternative accommodation in London, which was always our intention to do but the local situation for us in Liverpool expedited the process, all viewings of artworks will be held by appointment at our new premises and we will be carrying on our appointment based internet sales in the North of England too.

 

 

 

 

 

As always De Lacey likes to be surrounded by exceptional Public Art Gallery's and our new location is by no means an exception to the rule.  As you can see from the above map, we are directly opposite the Royal Academy of Art in Piccadilly.  We look forward to seeing you there soon.

 

 

 

The Web site

 

As I am sure most of our long term friends, clients and avid followers are aware the old web site fell behind in it's information and was not updated for quite some time.  There is a long and a short version of why this happened, and as I am unwilling to give a blow by blow account of exactly what happened I will regale you with the short Version.  In the middle to end of August last year the main computer for De Lacey was attacked by a virus, which basically locked the whole computer up and rendered the Hard drive unusable.  Unfortunately we hadn't any recent back ups of the Web site and couldn't update it accordingly.  We tried to repair the computer but to no avail, it was pretty obvious that the whole thing needed scrapping and starting from scratch.  So here it is, Version 4 of the De Lacey Web site, we hope you like it and apologise for any inconvenience.

 

 

The Mailing List

 

Unfortunately our E-Mailing List was kept on the mortally wounded Computer, which now means that I lost the entire list and as it was over 1000 strong it pains me greatly to have to start again.  The normal postal mailing list is intact on an older backup Disk, but we lost most our clients email addresses, so if you have submitted before to the emailing list I would be grateful if you could do it again.

 

 

 

Telephone Number

 

Due to exorbitant rates of diverted calls from our telephone provider we have changed the gallery's telephone number to   07715489681   which is no longer a diverted service but direct to the gallery.

We have a new mailing address now which all your correspondence should be directed to, which is...

Thank you all for your continued support, our gallery is now in it's 6th year of trading and we hope to take it further forward, without our clients and friends this would not be possible.
