Untitled (Bondi Baths, Sydney, Australia) 2007 by Carlo Van De Roer
Untitled (Blue Lagoon, Reykjavik, Iceland) by Carlo Van De Roer

Frigid Monday greetings, collectors. Holy smokes, it's wicked cold outside! Since I've just returned from the considerably more tropical climate of Miami, it's particularly jarring. It's a little weird to be piling on the woolly layers when I've got mosquito bites that need scratching, along with flip-flop inflicted angry blisters that are crying out for attention. I won't be ch-ch-chattering for long though — with a Wednesday morning JFK-->SFO departure in the offing, I'll be swapping out my flip-flops for hiking shoes. (The fantasy version of my trip includes not just many Very Important Meetings, but an outdoorsy afternoon in Pt. Reyes to boot. A girl can dream, can't she?) Packing, flying and meeting aside, announcing additional editions (alliteratively, even) is also in the offing.
The week gets underway with Hot Shot and 20x200 favorite Carlo Van de Roer, who's bound to make quite a splash with his two new AAA offerings. Untitled (Bondi Baths, Sydney, Australia) and Untitled (Blue Lagoon, Reykjavik, Iceland) are from Carlo's fantastic Swim series. His two earlier editions struck quite a chord with the 20x200 collector crowd, and we expect that the bigger prints we're offering today will encourage even more collectors to dive right in.
Like last week's releases from Jennifer Sánchez and Jason Polan, these AAA images are editions which offer a twist on our traditional structure. With prints available for $50 (11"x14"), $500 (20"x24") and $2000 (30"x40") sizes, Carlo's aqueous expanses look incredibly inviting. They're also digital c-prints, which lends them a luminosity befitting water's reflective nature.
With the gift-giving minded in mind, we're offering a limited edition set of both prints, available in the 11"x14" size, priced at $100 and delivered in a lovely portfolio. If you can't possibly get enough Carlo, a) I can see why and b) we've got 40"x50" prints available for $5000 each. (Jot a note off to collector@20x200.com to inquire about those.)
Carlo's been quite the sensation as of late. His new series, The Aura Portrait Machine, has captured the hearts and vibes of many, and just today we got word that he's one of the top 50 photographers selected from this year's crop of Critical Mass competitors. In other words, editions from this Hot Shot are quite a hot commodity. Lucky us and lucky you!
I'm back tomorrow with some more double trouble, form of: fine art, from a 20x200 artist most fine. Look for me then!
