Bundle-up-it's-cold-out-there Tuesday greetings, collectors! NYC is in high gear right now--everyone's calendars are brimming over with openings, art fairs, benefits and soirees, and it's just the beginning. We've got lots of events coming up, here and abroad, and we're in the checking-it-twice phase of our holiday planning at 20x200 HQ. One recent addition made with all this in mind? Our wish list feature, powered by Amazon. You won't be surprised to hear that I think art is the very best gift to give and get, but it's surely not the only one. The Amazon Wish List lets you add items from any site, and we've got links next to every print on 20x200 to make adding your favorites that much easier. My artwork wish list is endless, but I'm also hoping that Santa puts a shiny new bicycle under the tree for me this year.
I used to pedal around the city, but as of late, I've lacked a trusty steed, keeping me toe-to-heeling up and down the Avenues. In the meanwhile, NYC's streets have become increasingly safe for two-wheeled commuters. We've got a ways to go before we're living in the Car Free utopia that Tatsuro Kiuchi depicts in today's utterly charming edition, but there have been an impressive array of cycle-friendly additions to NYC streets as of late. In celebration of increasing masses cranking over concrete, it's due time to bring this print to you.
Tatsuro's prints have traditionally rung in reasons for us to cheer. In previous editions: Tatsuro's 20x200 debut last year, In the Ballpark, commemorated the New York Yankees winning the World Series. (Coincidence?!: Last night, the Giants, home team of my home-away-from-home, cinched the title themselves.) Tatsuro's second edition, Photographer's Dilemma, was paired with 28 Camera Drawings by Christine Berrie, making for a picture-perfect start to last year's Twelve Days of Festivus. And it's just about that time of year again to be ringing in the season--stay tuned for lots more goodness here--as I mentioned earlier, the festivities have already begun.
If you're in NYC this weekend, please join us at the Editions | Artists' Books Fair. We'll have lots of prints on view to buy from 20x200 faves, including our not-to-be-missed first edition from Roger Ballen. For those of you away, we'll have more from Ballen, here, too, tomorrow!
