“For 2009, the Lower East Side gallery Invisible Exports has established Artist of the Month. The gallery has invited an impressive roster of curators including Gianni Jetzer, the director of the Swiss Institute, and Matthew Higgs, the White Columns director, to select one artist to create a limited-edition work each month….You can collect all 12 for $2,400 (which includes shipping and handling).”
