A painting by Downtown Jersey City artist Ana Benaroya was allegedly stolen while on display in her solo show at Satis Bistro earlier this month.
Benaroya says that one of her works, the yellow mask painting in a diptych which had been hanging on the Washington Street restaurant?s walls for two months (seen at right), was nowhere to be found when she came to pick up her work on Dec. 4. The work is approximately 8 by 10 inches on two-inch-deep canvas stretchers. It was painted with acrylic paint, spray paint, and india ink.
The 26-year-old says she had a good working relationship with co-owner Michael Garcia and the restaurant in general, having worked with them twice before. She drew the giant chalkboard that hangs in the restaurant and painted the planters outside, she says. She was shocked to find out that someone was able to snatch the painting from where it hung in the hallway connecting the eatery?s first and second floor.
Garcia was also upset to find out about the incident, but didn?t do enough, Benaroya says. ?He told me that he would not go through the restaurant?s video tapes and also would not compensate me at all. While no amount of money would make me feel better ? I feel like he should have taken some responsibility in protecting my work.?
Garcia counters that Benaroya ?knew going in? that he was not responsible for her work and adds that he simply wanted to help her show her work. Any sales from her show, he says, would?ve gone completely to her with Satis taking no commission. ?I feel terribly about it, but it?s not my fault, it?s just a shame. I can understand her feeling angry and her disappointment. I feel the same way but in this situation, I can?t be held responsible for this.
Benaroya took the rest of her work home from Satis on Dec. 4 and filed a police report Dec. 8, she says. Jersey City police did not respond in time for publication.
The artist says she is extremely saddened, especially since the painting was completed in 2007 and had sentimental value for her.
?Both of these paintings (had a sentimental meaning for me)?and the other is basically ruined since now its other half is missing,? she says. ?These paintings came from when I first started painting seriously and I also painted them while I was living in a house I no longer live in. It may sound silly, but they connected me with that place and it feels terrible to have part of that stolen away from me.?
After the incident, Garcia says things are changing around Satis. While they currently have works on display by local artist Mark Finne, Garcia plans to buy some art of his own to decorate the eatery to avoid future issues.

Seven weeks after Hurricane Sandy ravaged Cuba, hundreds of thousands of residents remain homeless, according to Bishop Luis del Castillo Estrada, a Uruguayan Jesuit bishop who has served as a missionary in Cuba since his retirement.
The dioceses of Uruguay are providing financial support to assist those left homeless.
The prelate added that 90% of the churches around Santiago de Cuba, the nation?s second-largest city, have suffered damage, including the National Shrine Basilica of Our Lady of Charity.

DUBAI/SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - An attempt by national governments to establish a worldwide policy for oversight of the Internet collapsed on Thursday after many Western countries said a compromise plan gave too much power to United Nations and other officials.
Delegates from the United States, UK, Australia and other countries took the floor on the next to last day of a UN conference in Dubai to reject revisions to a treaty governing international phone calls and data traffic.
"It's with a heavy heart and a sense of missed opportunities that the U.S. must communicate that it's not able to sign the agreement in the current form," said Terry Kramer, the U.S. ambassador to the gathering of the UN's International Telecommunication Union.
While other countries will sign the treaty on Friday, the absence of so many of the largest economies means that the document, already watered down to suit much of the West, will have little practical force. "It will bring some legal concerns between countries that have and haven't signed the treaty," said a South American delegate who declined to be identified.
Though technologists who had raised alarms about the proceedings preferred no deal to one that would have legitimized more government censorship and surveillance, the failure to reach an accord could increase the chance that the Internet will work very differently in different regions.
"Maybe in the future we could come to a fragmented Internet," delegate Andrey Mukhanov, a top international official at Russia's Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications, told Reuters. "That would be negative for all, and I hope our American, European colleagues come to a constructive position."
Delegates from the United States and other holdout countries said they would continue to press at other international gatherings in support of what they call a "multi-stakeholder model," in which private industry groups set standards and play a large role in the development of the medium.
Countries that had been seeking an expansion of the ITU role reacted with some bitterness to the failure to reach a consensus.
Tariq al-Awadhi of the United Arab Emirates, head of the Arab States' delegation, said his group had been "double-crossed" by the U.S. bloc after it had agreed to a compromise deal that moved Internet issues out of the main treaty and into a nonbinding resolution saying the ITU should be part of the multi-stakeholder model.
"Unfortunately, those countries breached the compromise package and destroyed it totally," said Awadhi. "We have given everything and are not getting anything."
Awadhi said the treaty should have covered all forms of telecommunications, including voice over Internet protocol and Internet-based instant messaging services. "They are using telecom network and using telecom services," he said.
Kramer told reporters that the United States had negotiated in good faith but that there were several issues that made agreement impossible, including the resolution's recognition of an ITU role.
He said a section on reducing the unwanted emails known as spam, for example, opened the door toward government monitoring and blocking of political or religious messages.
One of the last major sources of U.S. objection, a clause that might have given countries the right to administer website addresses, was struck from the treaty during attempts to salvage the deal.
The turnabout was a defeat for ITU Secretary-General Hamadoun Tour?, who had previously predicted that "light-touch" Internet regulation would emerge from the conference.
But he said the 12-day meeting "has succeeded in bringing unprecedented public attention to the different and important perspectives that govern global communications."
Among the countries that said they could not sign, at least without consulting officials in their capitals, were most nations in Western Europe along with Canada, Philippines, Poland, Egypt, Kenya and Czech Republic.
The U.S. bloc's coordinated snub followed a vote that approved an African proposal to add a sentence in a treaty relating to human rights.
Western delegates said that effectively reintroduced a contentious proposal that had said no country should be allowed to unilaterally deny another country access to communications networks, which they said stretched too far into the political realm.
"We prefer no resolution on the Internet at all, and I'm extremely concerned that the language just adopted opens the possibility of Internet and content issues," Simon Towler, head of the UK delegation, said after the African proposal was passed.
The treaty is scheduled to be signed at 1330 GMT on Friday.
