Many thanks to everyone who is expressing excitement, interest and enthusiasm during our first week of official launch. We have been working many months on this project and it's really exciting to have this out in the world and to be receiving so much great feedback.

Laurel Ptak, from I Heart Photograph, prepares to wreck havoc on her storage of loose change, and advises others to follow suit with the following war cry: "Get ready to crack your piggy banks open!"

Lisa Hunter, author of The Intrepid Art Collector, writes:

Taste Without a Trust Fund

I know, I know. Some art expert probably told you not to buy prints, because multiples don't appreciate as much as unique works. So what? Personally, I think prints are the BEST thing for a new collector, because they're relatively affordable and easy to resell if your tastes change later on (which they almost always do.) How affordable is "affordable"?

[...] The so-simple-it's-brilliant idea is that if prints are sold in a large-ish edition (in this case, 200), anyone with a disposable income can afford to buy them. 20x200 has already signed up artists like Brian Ulrich and Whitney Biennial alumna Zoe Strauss.

Jhayne, from Black . White . Bliss is "all about affordable art for all!" Kate and Mike are featured on her blog this week:

I just might have to pick up Kate Bingaman-Burt's I Bought All of These. Kate is actually having a show over at Jen Bekman, opening on September 21st. [Reception 6 - 8pm] p.s. Kate's also a great blogger! Be sure and visit Crap Detector and Obsessive Consumption.

On Tuesday's Edition, Untitled by Mike Monteiro : "I love this, just makes me laugh. The artist statement also cracked me up: I'm really not good with words. It's tough to see the handmade-ness of it looking at a .jpg online, but the prints themselves are velvety and gorgeous - you can see the texture of the brushstrokes, and the irregularity of the borders of the letters. All that aside, it's just funny and true."

We are very flattered that BuzzFeed, whose slogan is "The web is a 24/7 popularity contest. We help the good stuff win" is following 20x200 on their Culture Buzz section:

20x200 is new online project from NY gallery owner Jen Bekman that makes great art affordable. Aspiring art collectors now have an affordable place to start: works from up-and-coming artists can be bought with a high school allowance.

Michael Sippey, VP of Products for the Professional Division at Six Apart:

Jen is one of the web's original pioneers ... It's great to see her combine two of her (many) passions -- art and the web -- into this new venture... 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.

Graphic Design Bar observes that 20x200 is: "where art lovers can be art collectors, even on minuscule budgets...a great opportunity to start building your own collection or just acquire original art at affordable prices—check it out!"

Steel City Modern: "I love the idea, especially for residents of smaller cities where art opportunities may be somewhat limited."

OhMyThatsAwesome.com: "To the people selling their plywood collages for thousands of dollars, You're Impossible."
