Cheap Paintings

Where can I buy cheap/discount paintings in Manhattan?

I am looking for art to fill my apartment - specifically paintings. Where are good retail outlets where I can buy nice framed prints of original art or reproductions of well known works?

1. I wish I had more information for you, but I don't. For the past few weeks there has been a commercial on TV advertising a huge art sale that will be happening simultaneously at several area hotels. I can't really remember any of the details, but look in the newspaper and keep an eye on the TV. They've been advertising this thing incessantly. I wish I could be more help.
2. One place you might want to try is at the Met on the weekends. 5th Ave is lined for blocks with folks selling all sorts of paintings at pretty reasonable prices. There are also a lot of folks selling photographs also. Columbus Circle also has sidewalk merchants on the weekend but you will not find as many as you will by the Met.
