Happy Friday, collectors! We hope that you are all managing well in the still-frigid clime and that the toasty image above brings a little warmth to your day. We have been ever busy bringing you editions for the week—including a couple delectable treats and an image of snow in its most pristine, just-fallen state. As always, we're ending the week by bringing you our picks for this week's must-see art-related links and stories. Enjoy!

• The Wall Street Journal's Ellen Gamerman and Kelly Crow reported today on the rise in online art buying opportunities, especially for high-ticket items. We're pleased to report that 20x200 makes their short list of places to buy art online, along with the exclusive VIP Art Fair, Artnet and Art.sy. William Wegman's also quoted about some advantages to viewing work online!


• If you're in NYC tonight, or in the near future, stop by Janet Kurnatowski Gallery to see some of Gary Petersen and Greg Lindquist's art up close. Group show Paper 2011 features some of Gary and Greg's work, and opens tonight with a reception from 7 to 9 p.m.


• One of this week's sweet-toothed edition-makers, Martha Rich, also has work on view in NYC. The opening reception for her show Nuts, Charm & Rejection at culturefix gallery is tonight from 7 to 9 p.m.


• And a friendly reminder to those who haven't made it to Jen Bekman Gallery yet, to see Joseph O. Holmes 's The Urban Wilderness, you've got only 9 days left to see those snow-filled prints in person.


• Next up at the JBG is the long-awaited 2010 Hot Shot! Showcase, which opens February 4 and will feature work from this week's other champion of confections and 2010 Hot Shot, Amy Stevens.
