The piece I chose to "purchase" from 20x200 was Beth Dow's The Pinetum, Wakehurst Place. I started my method for finding an artwork by browsing the site and choosing about ten or so artists who's work appealed to me. I did this because firstly to narrow the field but also because I did not want to "buy" a piece I didn't like. Once I narrowed the field I wanted to find an artist who was popular. The way I measured this was using Google. I searched all of the artists i had found and took note of the number of hits for each name. There were three artists in my search who were head and shoulders above the rest and Beth Dow was the clear winner with about 807,000 hits. If the results were closer other things i would have used to pick the artist like the number of pieces which were sold out for each artist or personal preferences. Once I had my artist narrowed down I simply chose the piece by them that I liked the most.
