Jen was profiled by writer Jerry Portwood this week for both the print edition of CityArts and online in the New York Press. According to Portwood, who paid a visit to the 20x200 HQ last week, Jen is "doing art's work" by making art readily available not just to those brave enough to venture into a gallery, but to (literally) everyone. In the article, Jen says:

Everyone is concerned with their pie; they want to hold on to their piece...I’ve been sort of saying for years: I’m trying to make the pie bigger; I’m not trying to take any away from you. I’m trying to get more people coming though the door of your gallery. I’m trying to map a path for people from, starting with us, feeling much more confident and comfortable walking in and engaging because it’s an important thing to do...I don’t think we are so much about selling prints as we are about extending the experience of being an art collector to a bigger audience...And while doing it, we’re very committed to ensuring that experience is authentic, whether someone is spending $20 or $2,000.

The article also featured Michelle Muldrow's Altar in Orange, on view at Jen Bekman Gallery beginning April 29th.
