Beauty, Charm & Style

I like art. I like to make art, to look at art, to learn art and to collect art.  But I am also poor.  Well, young 20s, with student loans, eating Ramen and heading back to graduate school. That doesn’t mean I don’t want to have great art decorating the walls of my house.

I certainly can’t afford to go to Christie’s Auction House and collect the fines pieces of art from around the globe, or even signed prints from the downtown galleries.  And with the economy is a state of emergency; I don’t have bundles of cash to throw around artists commissioning works of art and portraits of me riding a horse. This is why the Internet is so great, and why I love 20×200.

Run by NY gallery owner and art aficionado, Jen Beckman, 20×200 is an online gallery that sells limited edition prints and supports emerging artists and collectors. 20×200 makes art available for everyone offering 200 small, 20 medium and 2 large sized editions, ready to purchase online. Every single print is delivered with a certificate of authenticity numbered by the artist. Its art is legit.

Having been a subscriber to the site for almost a year, I have only bought two prints, and I love them both.  Professionally framing each print, the two hang up in my house next the other bits of art I have collected over the years.  It’s a nice feeling to know I own art, as well as know I’m supporting a generation of young artists that will be greatly effected the economic crunch.
