Nice and New: Orb 5 by Carlo Van de Roer
You may have heard of 20x200, an online retailer of limited-edition prints at affordable prices ranging from $20 to $200 (based on size), begun by New York gallerist Jen Bekman. The site, which sells works by both up-and-coming and established artists, gives nearly everyone the ability to afford good art. For that in itself, they deserve a pat on the back.
Gifted: Art For Newlyweds
Welcome to my new feature, Gifted, where I suggest home- and garden-related gifts that are chic, economical, and lovely. For my first post, I was inspired by my need to buy a present for some friends who just tied the knot. If you, too, need to purchase a present for some newlywed friends, consider buying them a piece of art.
Give the Gift of Art: Untitled, Thrift 2006, by Brian Ulrich
As a furniture enthusiast, as well as an avid flea marketer, I am loving Untitled, Thrift 2006 (0635), by Brian Ulrich, available on the site 20x200. This digital-c print has sold out of the larger available print sizes, but there are still some 10-x-8-inch prints available for $20 each. Throw an Ikea Ribba frame around one of these and you have a smart, sophisticated holiday present for all of those interior decorating junkies in your life.
Give the Gift of Art: Polly, by Christina Muraczewski
I love this bird print from Jen Bekman's 20x200 gallery. An archival pigment print, Polly, by Christina Muraczewski ($20), was originally created with acrylic marker and glitter on canvas. While the print itself is perfect for the holidays (there's just something so cozy and wintry about birds in branches), this would look lovely all year round with a thoughtful matting and frame.
Great Art Online: 20x200
Getting your art collection started is often limited by your pocketbook. The only way I could afford my first large art purchase was because I bartered an artist friend for it. So what to do if you're art-friend-free and low on the benjamins?

Photographer to Watch: Birthe Piontek
Birthe Piontek's images enchant me. I love the intersections of humanity and nature, which often meld and clash in unexpected ways. Whether it's a car parked in a grove of trees or a decrepit house falling into disrepair in a forest, there is something both comforting and fantastical about her photographs.
