Tuesday Edition: Echo Eggebrecht
Tuesday greetings, collectors! Special alohas for all of you who've just joined us over the last few days; if you're not a collector yet, today is a fine day to get started. Things have been pretty bustling in 20x200 land, what with recent media attention and all, but first things first. And what comes first in our world is the art.
Today we bring you The Time Machine, which is a reproduction of an original painting by the insanely talented Echo Eggebrecht.
These super beautiful high-quality prints, created using archival pigment inks on 100% cotton rag paper, are available in limited editions exclusively through 20x200. Your print will arrive with an official 20x200 Certificate of Authenticity signed by the artist her ownself. They'll be available on the 20x200 homepage at 2pm EST today, but as a mailing list subscriber, you can click on through and buy one now.
The Time Machine is available in three sizes:
8.5"x11"
Edition of 200, each $20
17"x22"
Edition of 20, each $200
30"x40"
Edition of 2, each $2000
I am totally nuts about Echo's work; her version of Americana is familiar and yet unmistakably her own. I've had the good fortune to get a digital preview of the works in her upcoming solo exhibition at the Belgian gallery Ter Caemer-Meert Contemporary and all I can say is: Whoa. I have a different favorite each time I look at them, so it seems that the best solution is to have them all. Although I am not one prone to jealousy, by and large, I am indeed jealous of Echo's imagination and talent. I wonder what it's like to have her mix of intelligence, humor and aesthetics in the same way that I listen to Billie Holiday's voice and wonder what it might be like to be able to sing.
The Time Machine is a mysterious piece - the indecipherable text across galaxies of stars, amidst clouds (or is it waves?) And the in the middle, encasing utter blackness, is the machine itself constructed with the most unlikely material: rough-hewn two by fours. In my narrative, which draws upon some familiarity with Echo's other paintings, I imagine this machine to be the backyard invention of some childhood friends who use its structure (did they find it or build it?) and their powers of make-believe to travel across time and space, without ever getting beyond shouting distance of their own backyards. As always, I'm quite possibly entirely wrong, but that's ok by me, because I'm enjoying the ride.
As I mentioned above, we've received quite a bit of glowing praise via some recent press. The big kahuna was last Thursday's profile of me in the New York Times which also has an audio clip where I discuss how to go about getting your art bought and an accompanying sidebar which includes many of my recommendations of favorite art purveyors online and off. This came hot on the heels of a mention in Wired and then this week started off on a high note: We were proclaimed The Best by New York magazine. (But you knew that already, didn't you?)
All this hubbub leads me to believe that the prints of The Time Machine will be traveling at light speed themselves, so I recommend that you take advantage of this glimpse into the 20x200 homepage's future and buy one now.
Tomorrow I am back with more 20x200 goodness, form of: photograph! See you then.
