    That’s such a nice giveaway, I would pick up the work named Marco Polo
    by Esther Pearl Watson.

    I keep my fingers crossed until tomorrow, but already thank you because I didn’t know 20×200 before today!

    Seconding the thanks for pointing me to 20×200. I’d love to pick up Don Carney’s “Timid Whale” though there’s plenty more I’d like to look at first.

    I would love to have Laura Bell’s “Ferry from Adrossan Harbor”. There are so many good artists, it’s hard to choose!

  28. Atison Lang
    02.29.2012 - 8:17am

    Do I have to choose just one? I love Amze Emmons’ work. Then again I also love the piece by Aili Schmeltz. Hmm, there are those lovely maps by Aaron Straup Cope and the energizing work of Jennifer Sanchez. Damn, can’t forget about Sarah McKenzie. Okay, okay, Amze Emmons. That is my final answer. Oh, but what about just one more tiny piece from…………….

  29. Simone

    thanks

  38. HeyLeon
    02.29.2012 - 9:39am

    I’d choose the print called Shinjuku, 6:43. That’s where I stayed in Tokyo two years ago, and that’s where I’m heading back in september this year.

  39. Amy C
    02.29.2012 - 9:48am

    So many choices! I love ordering things from them. I think I would like Owl No. 1 by Lisa Congdon. The kids room needs some good art that isn’t traditional kid theme items.

  40. Anna
    02.29.2012 - 10:14am

    I might choose Curious Bear by Don Carney. I’ve got a bit of a bear crush right now.

  41. Kathleen M
    02.29.2012 - 10:42am

    Very difficult to choose, because I like all photos by Todd McLellan especially “Old Push Lawn Mower” and “Old Wind-Up Clock” but also “Rawlings” by Don Hamerman and “195 Yachts, Barges, Cargo Lines, Tankers, and Other Ships” by Jenny Odell. But if I really have to choose I’ll have the latter.
    Love from Belgium.

  42. Brian
    02.29.2012 - 10:49am

    “Residential Web” by Amy Casey. She is one of my faves and I have always wanted to own a piece of her work!

  43. Tricia
    02.29.2012 - 10:51am

    Oh, so many to choose from! I love Lisa Congdon’s Birch Forest No. 7.

    I also like After the Rain by Chikara Umihara….should I add more?

    I could easily spend that money!

  52. Amber
    02.29.2012 - 12:21pm

  68. Anna
    02.29.2012 - 5:13pm

    I’m ALREADY jealous of whoever will win this!

    For whatever reason I gravitated towards the photography (okay, for a lot of reasons involving my obsession with photography.)

    Top choice = Howon by Hosang Park, followed by the whole Feral series by James Griffioen and Jet Blast by Thomas Prior and, and, and… !!!

    Choosing a favorite? That’s just brutal! There’s so many great works on 20×200!

    That said, I’ve been wrestling with myself over which of Amze Emmons’ works to get, and with a $75 gift certificate? I could spare myself further agony and get both. How awesome would that be?

  73. Mary
    03.01.2012 - 12:59am

    WOW I want in! Looks like I MIGHT have just made it on time? There are so many great things I’d love. WOW to have Eadweard Muybridge Animal Locomotion: Plate 44 (Man Taking Off Hat) would be pretty fantastic :) http://www.20×200.com/artworks/4042-eadweard-muybridge-animal-locomotion-plate-44-man

  75. abby in shanghai
    03.01.2012 - 2:47am

    i would choose “You” by William Powhida. one day when i have kids, their friend’s parents will be horrified when they come over to my house for playdates and see this hanging on the wall. for me it is a reminder that there is humor to be found even in the most FUCK-worthy frustrating situations.

  85. Tiffany Patterson
    03.01.2012 - 8:37am

    Probably – Balloons (Midtown, Manhattan), by Youngna Park. It’s lovely. However – there would need to be much more stalking before committing thought.

    So much amazing art! What a great giveaway. ♥

  86. Saloni
    03.01.2012 - 8:58am

    I love Jane Mount’s series on Ideal Books – they are going to be a historical snapshot in about 20 years. In the age of digital books and blogs, real books are going to disappear.

  87. Kristinalee

  89. Sydney
    03.01.2012 - 9:52am

    Jealous Curator! Thanks for this fun opportunity :) . It would have to be between Michelle Hinebrook’s use of color and line to create pieces that looks like DIAMONDS! in “Encrusted” and “Crystallized” and “Animal Locomotion; Plate 187, Dancing (Fancy)” by Edward Muybridge because a) it’s “fancy” and b) IT’S EDWARD MUYBRIDGE!!! But I also LOVE Jenny Odell’s work Lisa Congdon’s “Tiny Doll Hands”! Shoot, I guess it was too hard to just pick one favorite :-/.

  90. J.N. Bradley
    03.01.2012 - 10:26am

    Wow! I am already subscribed to their list – I always look forward to seeing what new art they’ve just added. My first purchase would be that lovely cake print… followed by anything yellow. So many wonderful things to choose from – I need this! Pick me!
