Starter Art
Ideally, art is things you collect over a lifetime, or things passed to you in some way. But if you're like me, and country-hop a lot, or, ya know, work in the arts, and thus cannot afford art, you may enjoy this fun website. Sometimes you just want something in particular for a particular spot in a room or whatnot. And 20 X 200 is pretty great because all the art starts at just twenty bucks.
Kudos to Jen Bekman, a small gallery owner on the Lower East Side (used to pass her place allll the time) for this pretty stellar idea. I love her formula: (limited editions × low prices) + the internet = art for everyone.
As it stands, I'm actually at an art surplus, but I loved browsing some of the fun stuff there. The now seemingly ubiquitous "Ferry from Androssan Harbor" from Laura Bell's Alba Series is there in several different qualities. I also got a kick out of this "New Math of Relationships" series.
Hope you're having a great Monday. And Thanks for all the love on the Franzen post, ya'll. That was sweet. Glad you enjoyed. Keep telling your friends!
