NEW YORK (CNNfn) - As a struggling young painter in Leonid Brezhnev’s humorless Soviet Union, Valery Tsarikovsky studiously avoided the imperial-sounding sobriquet that today graces his impressionistic canvases: “Tsar.”
“It wouldn’t have been a good idea,” joked Tsarikovsky, a Kiev native who moved to the U.S. with his wife in 1979 and now lives in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn.
Next week, in a triumphant case of art imitating life imitating nickname, Tsarikovsky may indeed feel like an emperor when he steps off a Swiss Air flight from New York and into the welcoming embrace of the annual World Economic Forum at Davos.
There, he will be one of seven largely unsung artists invited to display their artwork and hobnob with the participants as roving cultural emissaries to what may arguably be the most elite conclave of business acumen and egos on Earth. For three heady days, from Monday to Wednesday, Tsarikovsky will bask in a mini-celebrity spotlight as ethereal as any that suffuses his paintings of naturalistic landscapes.
A 20th century star chamber
In the minds of naysayers, “Davos” symbolizes pinstripe plotting, a place where fatcats gather in star-chamber secrecy to plot the economic fates of men and nations. Last year, financier George Soros rocked the Davos boat when he appropriated its pulpit to issue a scathing indictment of Western-style capitalism that ignores poorer countries.
Businesses pay an estimated $15,000 yearly in membership fees, plus an additional $18,000 to attend. Journalists are barred from covering the proceedings. The guest list is always an object of intense gossip and speculation - often up until the moment when the corporate jets touch down on the forum’s doorstep, disgorging their special human cargo.
Yet in a little-known sidebar to the forum, organizers have been serving up artworks and concerts to guests since 1991. This year, they will even supplement the menu with a “literary tea” at which Paul Coelho, author of the best-selling cult classic, “The Alchemist,” about a young shepherd child, will read passages from his works in vintage poetry-jam fashion.
The idea, says Maryse Zwick, the assistant to the forum’s president, is to leaven the event’s hard-edged business image with a dash of enlightenment from beyond the boardroom.
