Good morning, collectors! We at 20x200 hope that last night's Thanksgiving festivities were as joyous, tasty and visually stimulating as possible. As we do each Friday, we've rounded up the week's most notable stories and links. While you recover from this year's tryptophan intake, take a gander at what you may have missed in all the mayhem of the seven days leading up to that turkey dinner:
20x200 News
- As millions across the country stocked their refrigerators and pantries for this year's most gustatory holiday, NPR's Picture Show blog highlighted a selection from Mark Menjivar's poignant series of photographs capturing the interiors of people's fridges. Mark began the project while working on a hunger documentary, calling the photographs "portraits of the rich and the poor". He wrapped up the project last month.
- This week, Refinery29 pulled together a much-needed list of foolproof gifts that just about anybody would love. We're happy to say that Craig Damrauer's edition Modern Art from his New Math project makes the cut! This isn't the first time Refinery29's shown us some love, and we're so thankful for the recognition!
- Speaking of the gift-giving season, if you're not sure of just which print would be perfect for that special person, why not give a 20x200 gift certificate? You can even choose a digital gift certificate, which delivers immediately, if you're in a hurry!
- On this Black Friday--the uniquely American kickoff to holiday shopping--a photography contest called Picture Black Friday, juried by Brian Ulrich and Amy Stein, invites any photographers out there to submit their own shots and documentations of the day's retail madness.
- Also this week, 20x200 and some of our favorite artists were showered with attention from the press! Christian Chaize's gorgeous Praia Piquinia 23/08/07 14h59 was pictured in an Elle Decor spread about the home of NYC home of Kiane von Mueffling, which first appeared at Jen Bekman Gallery in Chaize's solo exhibition, Praia Piquinia.
- Comedian Samantha Bee mentioned Stephanie Cinelli's edition You Are Important in her interview with The New York Times Magazine. The edition also made an appearance in the Huffington Post's Divorce section
- Our friends at Dwell gave 20x200 a nice shout for bringing the joys of art collecting to a larger audience.
- 20x200 superstar Kate Bingaman-Burt also gave a wonderfully elucidating interview with Design Observer's Debbie Millman. Their conversation meanders from the influence of Kate's family's weaving business on her creative process, to her yearning to create dialogue about everyday consumption
- Jorge Colombo's iSketches are continuing to pick up steam, appearing in several of New York's most widely read publications. This week, his greyscale rendering of commuters rushing through the sprawling Penn Station is the illustration alongside a New York Times Opinion piece on the fate of that transportation hub.
- And on Tuesday, an Apple 1 (the first Apple computer and first personal computer with a fully assembled motherboard) was sold at Christie's for $212,267. Why not get your own piece of the action by snapping up a print of Mark Richards's Apple 1 at 20x200. While the $20 size has already sold out, you can still get one for just $50!
- Speaking of big sales, Alec Baldwin also slapped down $10,000 to take home a photograph by our very own Joseph O. Holmes.
- Stefan Ruiz's The Factory of Dreams is now up at Brooklyn's F.L.O.A.T. gallery and takes a look backstage at the characters and sets that comprise the Latin American soap operas of Mexico's Televisa Studios.
- If you're still reeling from the meal last night and yearning for more in the way of edible delight, feast your eyes on this selection of food-related editions from the 20x200 archives!
