I want a really big print. Where can I find prints in the range of 48"ish by 36"ish?

Many photography foundations sell affordable limited edition photos by top artists (donated by the artists for fundraising purposes). These are museum-quality photos, though usually in smaller sizes than what the galleries sell for big bucks. My favorite sources (aside from the fabulous 20x200) are:

Humble Arts Foundation ($175 and up):
http://humbleartsfoundation.org/index.html

The Museum of Contemporary Photography (all photos $300)

San Francisco Cameraworks:
http://www.sfcamerawork.org/prints.html

Light Work ($250 and up)
http://www.lightwork.org/

Other good, but pricier options include:

Aperture Foundation:

Blind Spot:

The New York Times also had an article about affordable art last winter. Here's the link:

i also like drooling over prints at nucleus gallery:

and at artstar:

Check my website! I make affordable original art (and talk about this topic in my blog all the time).

I just updated last night with new pieces:

Did someone say affordable original art...?

If you want to talk sculptures, the nicest piece of "art" in my house is a small driftwood plank we found on the beach. On it, we've placed three beautiful, smooth stones in three different colours (white, dark grey, and pinky-grey). It looks amazing, and it reminds us of the different places we found each element.

Hang Art is "affordable"? To whom?

Ha ha...

I see you've included GigPosters again (I recall the thread that started this two years ago. I recommended GigPosters).

Which led to:

Which led me to add a list to my Blog (GigantiCo) of affordable art.

So now we've come full circle. Here is my current list:

My favorite bay area artist has some affordable and mid-range pieces, generally $500-$4000 (pricier because most are very large, for all you people out there with big walls!)

I've found amazing stuff just looking around on Flickr and contacting the artist directly. I've bought things ranging from $1 buttons to $400 paintings.

Don't forget Modern Editions featured on the Suburbia series a few weeks ago.

I recently bought a screen printed poster from Etsy by The Little Friends of Print, inexpensive and looks great in my place! http://topia7.com/blog/2008/05/cathrineholm-enamel-bowls-with-citrus.html

i also like these photos--kind of sinister, but cool.
