AAA Editions: Superdeluxe
Thursday greetings, collectors, and welcome to our sixth and final AAA Holiday Editions release! It's also the last day of our free shipping on $50 prints promotion, so if you've been eyeing any of those 11"x 14" prints, be sure to snap a couple up before midnight tonight and enter code free2xship50 at checkout for FREE SHIPPING. You may well want to use said code when purchasing Spades and Diamonds from the rad design duo Superdeluxe.
In addition to being an art and photography fiend, I'm also an avowed design nerd. As the founding editor of Unbeige, I had bully pulpit from which I was able to go on about architecture, design and typography. Being on the spot to talk about those things day after day broadened my horizons considerably: I discovered new talent, found my voice and learned lots. 20x200 takes it a step further, giving me the chance collaborate with the creative people I admire. Even better? When people I admire, like say, the typography geniuses of Hoefler & Frere-Jones admire those collaborations!
Doing a second edition with these talented women gives me warm fuzzies; their first two releases, Bonaparte 9 and Ziggurat 5, were created in honor of 20x200's one year anniversary which gives them all sorts of wonderful associations. Their visual appeal aside, those editions remind me of what a fabulous anniversary it was. Karin and Adrienne joined team 20x200 for a really spectacular celebration that evening, presenting a rare opportunity for me to actually hang out with the artists on the day their edition was released. I was so honored that they'd done the editions, and they were thrilled by all the buzz and attention the prints got (no surprise there!) It was a total love-fest.
As evidenced by the arrival of Diamonds and Spades, the love fest lives on! And it has a future too — our house of cards won't be complete till they're joined by the other two suits, whose arrival you can count on in the new year.
A couple of notes about these new prints before I take my leave: The 18"x14" sizes ($200) include a letterpress a layer. Since those pieces are done by hand, they take more time, which means that they'll arrive to collectors after Christmas Day. Hand-screened 40"x30" prints (edition of 2) are also available for $2000 each - drop a note to collector@20x200.com to learn more about those.
All right my friends, that's it for me, for now. Like I said, today's are the last new editions before Christmas, but you haven't heard the last of me — I'll be back next Tuesday with a year-end recap. Look for me then!
