New York gallery owner Jen Bekman launched 20x200 to make affordable art more easily available on the Internet. Each week, two new editions by emerging or established artists are released, and prices begin at just $20. Occasionally noted artists make an appearance too.
Today the site released two prints by William Wegman. The editions come in four sizes: 10 by 8 inches ($50), 14 by 11 inches ($100), 20 by 16 inches ($500) and 24 by 20 inches ($1,000). (The site does limit how many prints any single person can purchase.)
On the blog, Wegman writes of the works: ‘ ‘Game Board’ [pictured above] and ‘Blizzard’ are two images using my favorite materials: paper and Weimaraner. Both of these things are readily available to me and are easy to work with. A Weimaraner will pretty much hold his position and mine are accustomed to having paper over, under and on top. Even though both ‘Blizzard’ and ‘Game Board’ are color photographs, they appear to be shot in black and white: black and white paper and gray dogs.’
Both prints are created using archival pigment inks on 100% cotton rag paper with a luster finish; they come with a signed certificate of authenticity. Friday is the last day to order prints and have them shipped by USPS in time for Christmas. Estimated shipping is $12.50.
