Candy in American culture represents euphoric nostalgia. It’s that fleeting feeling, for a single moment, that you are a child again. It’s such a powerful force for children we dedicate an entire holiday to it. There’s a whole day based entirely around asking strangers for instant, sugar- based gratification -- and receiving it without question.

September Shade by Leah Giberson
To introduce Leah Giberson's new edition we reached out to intrepid author—and Giberson's lifelong friend—Rebecca Carroll. We were blown away by the results.
Leah Giberson and I grew up side by side in a small rural town where our first points of aesthetic allure were the warm-washes of wildflowers, garden tomato reds and summer squash yellows—all colors I see in her beautiful piece, September Shade, featuring two of her beloved lawn chairs. "Arranged forward facing in twos and threes" she says, "the chairs becomes couples, siblings or old friends".

We don’t play favorites when it comes to our artists, but Joseph O. Holmes definitely has a special place in our hearts. Maybe it’s because he’s been a longtime 20x200 collaborator, or because his photographs of NYC never fail to remind us why we’re so smitten with our home city, OR because he’s one of the most easy-going, positively zen people we’ve ever had the pleasure to get to know IRL. All we can tell you is we can’t stop collecting his editions.

Summer in Maine by Alice Gao
Alice Gao finds
Summer in Maine majorly inspiring, and she’s in good company. There’s a long tradition of artists spending their summers in our northernmost state. From Fairfield Porter to our own
William Wegman, Maine seems to have a magnetic pull for many artists seeking scenic inspiration, solitude submerged in nature, or a warm respite when the weather is right.

Grand Slam by Kellen Hatanaka
Kellen Hatanaka is back with his second release this summer:
these rad tennis rackets, just in time for the U.S. Open. The tournament kicked off yesterday at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens—not too far from our NYC HQ. Team 20x200’s resident tennis aficionado calls it the most exciting tournament of the season (we’re told American tennis fans really turn it up). We’re feeling pretty excited around these parts too, and we have
Hatanaka’s eye-catchy, exuberant
trio of tennis rackets to thank.
