Gallery Kayafas

I had an absolutely terrible experience with this gallery, and I cannot emphasize enough how unprofessional and dishonest they were. After they sold several of my artworks and other Iranian artists from a show that I curated they failed to pay me for my hard work. It's been months, and despite numerous attempts to reach out, they have ignored all my messages and emails regarding payments. Not only did they exploit my artwork for their own profit, but they also showed a complete lack of respect for artists and their livelihoods. It's disheartening to see a gallery, which is supposed to be a supportive platform for artists, behave so callously and irresponsibly. This kind of treatment is simply unacceptable and speaks volumes about their lack of integrity. I would strongly advise other artists and collectors to steer clear of this gallery. They take advantage of the artist s money they make from the sales goes to their pockets.

I would have given Kayafas zero star if it were an option. If you are an artist and even thinking about working with them, RUN AWAY as fast as you can. They will happily work with you, sell your artwork and then simply not pay a penny to the artist. If you are a collector, an art lover, or simply just going there to see the latest… remember this, THEIR METHODS HURT ARTISTS. Supporting them comes at the cost of artists…

Absolutely terrible experience with Kayafas! I wish I could give them zero stars. As an artist, avoid them at all costs. They have no hesitation about selling your artwork and refusing to pay you a single cent. They harm artists with their unethical methods, so if you care about supporting artists, stay far away from them! 🚫🎨

What an amazing gallery. We were able to meet the artist herself! Amazing artworks! It is sligtly bigger than the neighboring galleries and everyone inside was wearing a mask. They also provided hand sanitizers. I will be back again :))

Be cautious working with Gallery, especially if you are an artist. Simply put, they will happily sell your artwork and never pay you!

They have stolen money from me and my sister. Sold the art works and never payed our artists share.

They have a history of surprising young artists by selling the art and not paying the artists.

This gallery is a fraud! They have stolen money from talented artists!

A wonderful contemporary art gallery specializing in photography. It has been there by many years.
