Centaur Art Galleries, Las Vegas

Apparently everything they sell in the store is original but I can assure you its not, and the owner may be buying artwork on ebay and then putting his certificate of authenticity on it.

Bought a leroy neiman original ink drawing here in may of 2000 for $3700 and just sold it on ebay in feb 2012 for $1000. Feel pretty stupid and learned not to spend my casino winnings on artwork. Owner was uncooperative when I needed more info to sell this drawing.

I have been a repeat customer since 2007 when I purchased my first Salvador Dali, signed print. Since then Centaur is a primary reason for my trips from Carlsbad to Vegas. Richard, Tim and the ENTIRE staff are so interesting and helpful. They take time to explain all the nuances of not only the art, but the artists. I have purchased several pieces now and intend to buy more. Because of Centaur, I have a new experience in my life I would have never had. I completely recommend Richard and his gallery , a trip to Vegas without patronizing Centaur is not possible. Noel Leverenz

as a lifelong fan of picasso and dali, i was ecstatic to read on a travel website about this gallery. i figured i might see a couple of works from each artist without having to pay a museum fee. i was BLOWN AWAY when i saw piece after piece from these great artists and many more. works i'd never seen before, and the REAL thing! the staff was so friendly and knowledgable and treated us with the utmost respect (even though i know from first glance they didn't think we could afford any of the pieces we were perusing). tim offered fun and interestng facts about the artists and each individul piece, it was as if i had my own personal art instructor. once i found out that i could afford a dali and a picasso (something i never really thought possible) i was moved to purchase. again, the staff was extraordinarily helpful, let me hang up different pieces in a private room, and rotating them for over an hour. i cannot sing enough praise for this gallery. thank god i stumbled upon this jewel during my vegas stay. not only was it the highlight of my trip, but it transformed my life, cementing my connection to the art that i love.
