ny.10.#01 by Jennifer Sanchez

Good day collector friends! As I sit here to write, it's actually Monday night, a full twelve-plus hours before we are due to release today's new print upon you. To what do we owe this late night scribing session? An early summer eve's spell? Nope, though it is crisp, breezy and cool—the type of evening you don't want to end because you know once the sun rises the air will be unrecognizably altered—warmer, denser and decidedly less fresh. And with back-to-back (but art full!) meetings, tomorrow's hours will spin too fast to pen a word in edge-wise. So under the tiniest sliver of a moon, I'm mustering all of my industriousness in the spirit of Jennifer Sanchez, a painter so productive that I'm pretty sure she never sleeps.

Today's edition, ny.10.#01 is the eighth from Ms. Sanchez that we've featured on 20x200, a small testament to her admirable work ethic. It's not just painting that she's up to—she works hard at making work and making sure the work gets seen. She's also always out and about, taking in exhibitions and sharing what's caught her eye. That she's been at it as long as I've known her—she was one of the first, along with Youngna Park, that we featured—and she shows no signs of stopping, is one of the things that makes me so proud of 20x200. Over the years, we, that's you, you collectors out there, and me and team 20x200, have helped to support Jennifer on this brave endeavor of being an artist. It takes fortitude and a certain kind of optimism, the same kind that gleams through Jennifer's works.

Her abstract canvases are ceaseless in their energy. In swirls and curls of color, layered paint and graphite, she spins her own orbs and slivers of moons, suns and never-ending nights and days. But this eve, I fear, is getting on and I'm so looking forward to some rest, and, come sun-up, this newsletter's arrival in your inbox.

I'm excited too for Wednesday when we'll have a not-to-miss edition from a photographer who now calls the country of World Cup headquarters home. Have a guess? It's no secret, we revealed his name in a round of Twitter hangman over the weekend but to see the world he's created, you'll have to be right here, just then, when the clock strikes 11:00 a.m. EST again.
