20x200

Jen Bekman has launched 20x200. Jen is one of the web’s original pioneers; she and I did a stint together as community managers of Netscape.com in like 1997. Since then she’s escaped the ‘net and built a wonderful art business in New York. It’s great to see her combine two of her (many) passions – art and the web – into this new venture.

We introduce two new pieces a week: one photo and one work on paper. Each image is available in three sizes. The smallest size is reprinted in the largest batch – an edition of 200 – and sold at the lowest price – $20. Hence the name 20x200. (200x20 just didn’t sound as good.)

Jen has a great eye, and the work that’s already up is fantastic. If you’ve never bought art before, maybe this is the way for you to get into collecting.
