Art You Can Afford: Artspace
There's a new source for artist's editions in town: artspace.com.
Like some of the other outlets for less-expensive art, they offer limited edition prints in different sizes at tiered prices.

To which I say: rad.
If you like your shopping with a bit of learning, you can read Q+As with the guest curators, or read up on all things art on their--you guessed it--blog.
As for the buying, you can search by price, medium, or collections (by theme or curator).

Keeping to the "under $250" category, here are my current picks:
Nick Cave, Soundsuit # 3, 12 x 17, $200
(but don't you kind of want this in the 42 x 60 size? Yours for only $3,000. Oops, the title of this post no longer applies!)
Kara Maria, Counterpassant, 12 x 17, $100
Don Cooper, Beginning/Ending, 12 x 17 $100
Clare Rojas, Untitled 2, 17 x 24, $175
Rebekka Guioleifsdotter, From The Earth, 12 x 17, $100
Rebecca Graham, Jumbo, 12 x 17, $100
Kind of makes me want to start over with the art around here. To read more about the artists or see more of their work, go on over to artspace.com.
