20x200 on The Brian Lehrer Show, Feb 17th, 2010

Back in February, Jen Bekman and JBP's Director of Business Development, Jonathan Melber, appeared on WNYC's The Brian Lehrer Show to talk about how 20x200 is changing the world of art collecting. In the twelve minute clip, Jen, Jonathan, and Brian discuss where the idea behind the site came from, the integrated business model of the gallery, website, and photo competition, and — most importantly — how we get to support artists. Painter and 20x200 edition-maker Clare Grill also joins the conversation via video chat to talk about how her work came to be sold on 20x200 and the exposure she has gotten from appearing on the site.

Brian had this to say about how 20x200 is impacting the world of collecting: "This, in a nutshell, is the revolution in art that the internet offers: a world where painters wouldn't need patrons to survive and the people could afford great art. We're not there yet, but 20x200 is smashing the barriers to art collecting." A huge thanks to the Brian Lehrer show for having us and to our artists who we are honored to support!
