Your Walls Should Talk
Excuse me sir, would you like that photo super-sized?
Yes, we gab a lot about finding cool, original-yet-affordable stuff for your home. Maybe it's because we hate the idea of you living in an apartment with sparse, white walls, or even worse, some framed Van Gogh poster that your parents forced you to buy at MoMA.
Enter our new hero, Lower East Side gallery owner Jen Bekman, and her Web site, 20X200. The gist: Jen realized that there were a lot of people looking for a place to sell their art and even more people who were looking to buy it. She makes a connection between the groups by introducing two new pieces on her site every Tuesday and Wednesday: one photo and one work on paper. Each image is available in three sizes, with a price to fit every budget. Small (an edition of 200 sold at $20), medium (an edition of 20 for $200) or large (editions of two for around $2,000). They only hard part is deciding on which one you want to score.
Ridiculously affordable art that comes in every size...we think it's finally time to stop making excuses, and take down those freaking water lilies!
