Home decor retailer West Elm has partnered with online art gallery 20x200 to produce a collection of ten new prints by popular artists.
Jen Bekman's 20x200 is a project devoted to providing good artwork at reasonable prices — and limited edition runs in smaller sizes often start at just $20. West Elm, a brand that often collaborates with outside designers on special products, is a natural fit to bring this work to a larger market.

@medusa12120 - Or paint you something yourself! :)
I don't mind buying prints. Which is good since my budget really doesn't allow me to buy most originals. But honestly if I love a picture and want it for my home I don't care who painted it, when they painted it, or if I have an original or a print. I just love the picture and want to be able to see it every day. There are some exceptions of course when a print really doesn't do it justice. But those are the ones I can't afford anyhow! ;-)
Lol "Or paint you something yourself!" Brain not communicating well with fingers today...
Lovely post, and yes, purchasing original art or painting something yourself are wonderful ideas...BUT, what I enjoy most in this post, is the way the framed prints are displayed/mounted onto those lovely filled bookcases! I want to know or see more of this, it's fantastic!
@yvonneconnasse: I was just thinking how awful it was! Totally impractical unless the books are simply for display.
Like @SherriEakin said, I'm a big proponent of painting something myself. I also don't have the budget to afford alot of the originals I see so I've just adapted to making things myself. Helps me cultivate my creative side and keeps my wallet happy!
@SamIAm: Not at all! As a proud book lover of thousands of books, I don't reread each one every day. But I also can't throw them away...so I thought this was a lovely solution to added more "oomph" to the shelves. I would like to know how they are attached and if it's a cunning little trick apparatus that allows one to remove them easily in order to reclaim a beloved book.
I don't like the bookcase as a backdrop for the art. It looks cluttered and doesn't do the art justice.
"by popular artists" says it all...
