A google search for PAKS Gallery returns an embarrassment of riches starting with an artist's website featuring a work "never returned and declared stolen" by PAKS Gallery. Others cite PAKS as a pay-to-play gallery.

Heinz Playner's B-grade website features photobombs of him with a who's who of celebs, sports stars and museum directors. His gallery's featured artist (and wife) is Tanja Playner (who?). According to her website, trendsetting Tanja is ranked number 11 of over 320,000 artists worldwide, ahead of Marc Chagall, Roy Lichtenstein, Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons (who just broke another living artist auction price record at $91m), Erwin Wurm, and others.

According to her bio, Tanja’s amazing career started in 2015 with a Solo Show at PAKS

that was followed by a string of museum exhibitions including the Louvre.

If you wish to venture further down this rabbit hole there is a long way to go. But please stop by Tanja’s website and see for yourself what all the fuss is about.
