Happy September dear collectors! It's Sara, again! Jen is seriously lamenting not being here today to bring you these two charming editions from Clare Grill. Aside from the fact that Jen's still out and about in San Francisco, attending to some very important meetings, today could not be a more perfect day to introduce Cake and Assignment.
For one, we're on the verge of major celebrations! 20x200 and Ms. Jen Bekman are both about to be one year the wiser, this Saturday, September 5th! That's right, 20x200 is two! And as Jen's birthday gift to you (she's just that kind of girl), we're offering:
FREE SHIPPING on all orders over $50, now through next Monday, September 7th at midnight EDT.
A couple details: this offer extends to collectors within the United States only and cannot be applied to orders shipped outside of the U.S. Additionally, this offer does not apply to gift certificate purchases. You do not need to enter a code at checkout, the offer will be automatically applied if your order exceeds $50.
It's easy, so may this be the sign to stave off end-of-summer blues with some new art!
For two, fall is certainly in the air. And while for us, that means moving into our third (!) year at 20x200 HQ, it also means that summer is retreating and school is starting. Clare's works are splendid partners for this unofficial shift in seasons as we linger between summer and fall.
There is something particularly nostalgic and sweet about both Cake and Assignment. Almost painted from—and of—memory itself, they are warmly colored and softened by the passing of time. These paintings are celebrations of little things: candles on cakes, assignments on chalkboards, renderings of fresh starts and first attempts. While some of Clare's brushstrokes evoke finger-paintings, they reveal a lesson that is anything but childish: we are reminded to bring the best of what used to be, "when we were little and wide open and so un-suspicious and safe," to every new step forward.
Stepping forward and celebrating is exactly what Jen has been up to in SF. In addition to the aforementioned meetings, she managed to sneak in some toasting too. The last few days have had her touring around the gourmet ghetto of 18th Street, drinking champagne at Delfina, eating ice cream from Bi-Rite Creamery and noshing on pastries at Tartine. A special thanks to Dylan of Arlo for hooking her up with a home-away-from-home in the foodie-hood.
We'll welcome Jen back here and back to NYC soon. More toasting, cavorting and general revelry are sure to come—two birthdays in one make the festivities doubly special. Like these prints, good things come in pairs! In honor of both, we hope you'll join us in lifting a glass (or picking up a print!). Till then!
