I actually managed to see the “Hey Hot Shot” exhibit this week. Its pretty good, although I did spend more time looking at framing than images (probably due to my upcoming thesis show). If you haven’t visited the 20×200 site for a while, you should take a look and see what’s selling and what isn’t. The photographs are moving quicker than the drawings or printmaking, especially Andrew Hetherington’s (of What’s the Jackanory) print of a cow that apparently nearly sold out in 8 minutes last week.
I like a lot of the work shown on the website and would even considering buying some prints if I had more money (or a real job). Justin’s friend Kate had a show of her Obsessive Consumption at the gallery and has a few prints on the site. Her drawing is only half sold through, but her photograph has only one $2000 print left.
Thinking of my upcoming thesis and my fascination with framing choices and print sizes, I found this next image an interesting example of how print size can be important. I can’t decide if my prints should be 16×20 or 20×30, or even a variety of sizes based on the image. Most images on 20×200 seemed to have sold through the cheaper size first. This one has no $200 13″x20″ left and 56 $20, smaller size remaining. I would certainly rather have this image in 13×20.
And this image had totally sold out from Carlo Van de Roer who also has some nice work on his website here.
