Have you guys seen this? It’s a great idea on how to sell original art or at least numbered copies (with a certificate of authenticity) made by the artist and not some crappy poster-copy of the original bought at your local shopping mall. You can buy 8,5×11 prints for 20 bucks (series of 200 copies) which becomes cheap enough for more general users to buy good art a fair price and have something unique at their walls. Or you can shell out 2,000 dollars for one copy (edition of 2) in a 30”x40” print. That’s when art collectors come in and buy it
I’ve looked into ways of selling art that could be democratic (20 bucks – just like buying something at Union Square) but also be praised enough by art collectors (2,000 – a good art gallery) and never found something that works so well and so dynamic. This website definitely did the trick to me. Check it out: http://www.20×200.com/
