Jen Bekman Gallery is an art gallery in New York City. It was established by Jen Bekman in March 2003 on Spring Street, near the Bowery. Bekman's goals were to help emerging artists become more appreciated, and to encourage a broader swath of people to feel comfortable buying art.[1] Jen Bekman Gallery exhibits the work of artists in the mediums of photography, works on paper, paintings and mixed media.
Jen Bekman Projects include 20x200[2] (editioned prints at affordable prices), Hey, Hot Shot, jen@joe (a revolving exhibition of photographs at Joe, affordably priced and available for purchase online only), and Personism[4] (a personal blog about design, photography, and current events).
In 2006, Bekman was named an Innovator of the Year by American Photo. They wrote, "She's developing a new generation of photo artists and consumers."[5]
20x200
20x200 is a project by Jen Bekman project that sells original artist editions at affordable prices on their website. When the business first launched, the smallest size was reprinted in the largest batch — an edition of 200 — and sold at the lowest price — $20. Hence the name 20x200 (pronounced: "twenty by two-hundred"). They also offer 11"x14" editions of 500 for $50, 16"x20" editions of 20 for $200, 20"x24" editions of 50 for $500, 24"x30" editions of 10 for $1,000 and 30"x40" editions of 2 for $2,000.[6][7] [8] [9]
In February of 2010, the website sold $100,000 worth of work by artist William Wegman in a single day.[10]
