Mysterious Croatian Artist Doesn’t Show Up to Her Own Opening

Ana Tzarev, Heron Maiden, 2005, Oil on linen, 76 3/4 x 76 3/4 inches

I’m surprised The New York Observer found Ana Tzarev worthy of a 600 word feature by Sheila McClear.  Tzarev owns a giant vanity gallery dedicated to the exclusive exhibition of her work, she didn’t attend her own opening this month, and for some reason the business describes her inaugural show as a “soft launch”.  It’s bizarro world no doubt, but the atypical is also typical of vanity galleries.  Where’s the rest of the story?
