20x200 is featured in the October issue of Dwell, with work by Kate Bingaman-Burt and Youngna Park appearing in the spread.

She's not your average pusher, but gallerist Jen Bekman intends 20x200 to be a gateway drug to the art market.

As a challenge to the hoity-toity art-buying world, Jen Bekman's newest venture presents prints by mostly emerging artists in limited editions of 200 for $20 each, or 20 for $200 each. By melding the inclusiveness of internet commerce and nonprohibitive prices with the exclusivity of a curator acting as quality control, Bekman ensures that new collectors can be confident that the "buy" button will not lead to clicker's remorse. Whether it's an alternative to mass production or an alternative to high art, Bekman realizes that $100 is still a considerable chunk of change to most people.
