Queens by Jorge Colombo

Greene and Spring by Jorge Colombo

Tuesday greetings, collectors. Today's new editions from 20x200 favorite Jorge Colombo capture and romanticize the miracle of flight from above and below, and fittingly so. I type to you from San Francisco, having just arrived last night and feeling not quite recovered from a plane ride myself. Jorge's images were at the forefront of my mind during ascent and descent.

I imagined a friend or two waving adieu to me from Soho, the corner of Greene and Spring to be precise, as my plane made its way across a pink-ening sky. I also paid special attention to the earth-from-above view, pressing my nose against the window and watching buildings fade into dioramic tableaux which in turn melded into neatly defined grids before being obscured by cloud cover, all the while thinking of the debut of Jorge's Queens edition.

While I was airborne, Jorge was paying a visit to 20x200 HQ, where he told Sara that he was particularly pleased these are the first two images that we selected for editions from his forthcoming book, a pair whose presentation was informed by his (considerable) efforts to perfectly sequence said tome. We're pretty darn pleased ourselves—proud to be co-presenting the forthcoming title with our friends at Chronicle Books and cooking up all kinds of fun in conjunction with its arrival online and in the real world.

Greene and Spring is also the first of Jorge's editions to have previously been published on the cover of The New Yorker. From phone to magazine to fine art edition—and soon to be bound up in the pages of a bona fide (and awfully good-looking) book—Greene and Spring and Queens travel well.
