Only art gallery in Aspen I'd buy from! The man is there every time with a wealth of knowledge on an incredible selection of original and reproduced lithographs. I definitely can't afford the poster that catches my eye every time I go visit, but nevertheless the owner always has time to answer any questions about the origins of the piece! PS he has a fabulous website read more

The Omnibus Gallery - Classic Kubrick film - Art Galleries Near Me - Aspen, Colorado

As the previous reviewer stated, the guy who runs this shop is a pretentious jerk. In fact I've never had someone be so rude to a customer. I was seriously considering purchasing an Apocolypse Now poster, but this ass made my mind up for me by his attitude. Additionally, the shop is a wreck, just merchandise lying everywhere. Most of the prices were outrageous as well. I can't understand how this business stays afloat, I know the rent in aspen is up there and this guy can't be selling much at these prices. I also saw no certifications of originality on movie posters that he's asking well over 1000.00$ for. I recommend staying out of this place. read more

It pained me to even click on one star. Appalling business. The owner used extremely derogatory language. I can't even repeat the terms he used. This place is going out of business for a good reason. read more

George inspires vigorous reactions, it would seem. I get a kick out of him, undoubtedly a matter of taste and also how we met. That was through a college roommate who's something of a collector. So I probably had a little cred with George who took the time to talk to me about poster art and got me interested. I bought from him and then from others. He's not everyone's favorite shopkeeper and it's true he can be cranky and dismissive of just about anybody. He's also not interested in other than full prices (although we did negotiate a discount when I bought several at one time). He's opinionated, doesn't care if you don't like him and yet the gallery is in his blood which is why, I think, that he keeps talking about closing it down and then doesn't. But after ten years of reading, buying and putting together a little collection one thing is very clear to me: Those who review the Omnibus and attack the collection itself don't know what they're talking about. The best place for poster art and auctions in New York is Jack Rennert's gallery. In Boston it's Jim Lapides's International Poster Gallery. Those guys know George and his collection and they admire both his discernment and its breadth and depth. They both smile wryly about dealing with George. They both would instantly say that the collection is the best in the country. So, I don't give the Omnibus a perfect rating as a business because it's messy, haphazard in pricing, disordered and has an altogether eccentric owner. But the collection itself is powerful, utterly authentic and deserving of an unlimited number of stars. Those who've said otherwise either allowed their dislike for George to color their judgement or they have none. read more

The person in this gallery (assuming it was the owner) was incredibly rude and condescending. It's best not to even go into this store, because the gallery owner (a middle aged gray haired man) does not want to give you the time of day unless you plan to spend $5-10k on a poster. Everyone will agree that Aspen is expensive, and not everyone is super rich, but even the lowly 99%-ers enjoy going into galleries and looking around. Also, even "poor" people know people who have money and they might actually recommend the gallery to a 1%-er friend or colleague if the place is fun and inviting, which this place is not. IMHO, it's best for these gallery owners to be nice to everyone and not to condescend if they deem the person as not having the money for the art. read more

Went to check out this poster store tonight. Most items were outrageously priced without any type of certification of authenticity (thousands of dollars). The other posters, laying in piles on tables and floors were not priced at all. I asked the owner about one poster sitting on the floor in another room and he rudely told me it was $20,000, then he got up off the floor which he was sitting on and walked to another room. Had zero interest in helping me as a customer, or being present in the world of actual reality. If a $20k poster is lying on the floor, I can't imagine what they have that place insured for...maybe $30 Billion dollars? Judging on the prices and the amount of posters stacked all about the store this poster company is worth more than Apple or Microsoft. WORST PLACE EVER. Best part...sign says that they are going out of business and everything is up to 70% off. Me thinks the going out of business sign is a scam (seeing how it was covered in dust), and they are looking for stupid people with lots of money that wont ask questions. Horrible person and even worse store. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! read more

How do I give a zero star? It's depressing that it appears that he's been doing this for years, but I'll chime in nonetheless. As an avid poster collector, with REAL original vintage prints, unlike this scam of a store. I had just gotten off the trails, didn't fit the stereotype he was looking for and was treated like I was an inferior human being. This guy is the worst human being I've ever had the misfortune of dealing with. Not just worst poster store owner, literally the worst person ever. In the words of of Ray Finkle's mom, I hope he dies of gonorrhea and rots in hell. I have no idea how this place stays in business, he must make a great living scamming stereotypical rich tourists. These are NOT original prints, this store is a scam and this guy sucks. Cheers read more

The owner is incredibly rude and arrogant. Many of the posters are rather nice, but overpriced. The overall experience is variable, best when the owner is not in the store as the sales associates are more welcoming and nicer. Avoid times when the owner is present. read more

Avoid. Let's just start by saying that the minute we walked in, it was extremely apparent that no one that worked here was happy or interested in selling anything. The owner (grey hair guy) was totally rude and obviously a bitter, bitter old man. I noticed a review from several years ago that said there was a sign posted out front that the gallery was going out of business. It's 4 years after that review, and I saw the same sign up on our recent December 2019 visit. Umm, yeah. Totally dishonest and sketchy. They've been going out of business for four years? Plus, I seriously question the authenticity of the majority of what I saw there. We walked in and wanted to find a vintage Aspen poster for our home. We were not interested in a cheap reproduction. We were there to buy and after 2 minutes inside the shop, I couldn't bring myself to even purchase the one I saw that I really did want. After being sized up by the old guy (owner?), he proceeded to yell at my son (a polite 16 year old) and he never even said hello or "welcome, are you looking for anything in particular?" to my wife and I. Seriously, that's simple customer service and common courtesy. Needless to say, we left. I would never recommend this place. Rude and sketchy people don't deserve ANY ONE's business. And there are literally thousands of posters just laying on the floor. Go somewhere else, where the business owner greets you and appreciates your business. Wish I could give zero stars!! read more

Be very careful when purchasing from this shop! Yes, as stated before the guy is *rude* but that's not my biggest concern. They repeatedly state that they only sell originals, yet they have no record of authenticity or provenance. Many of these images are public domain and you can have them printed onto canvas at very reasonable prices. read more
