Shop Art on 1stDibs: Photography, Drawings, Prints, Sculptures and Paintings for Sale

Whether growing your current fine art collection or taking the first steps on that journey, you will find an extensive range of original photography, drawings, prints, sculptures, paintings and more on 1stDibs.

Visual art is among the oldest forms of expression, and it has been evolving for centuries. Beautiful objects can provide a window to the past or insight into our current time. Art collecting enhances daily life through the presence of meaningful work. It displays an appreciation for culture, whether a print by Elizabeth Catlett channeling social change or a narrative quilt by Faith Ringgold.

Contemporary art has lured more initiates to collecting than almost any other category, with notable artists including Yayoi Kusama, Marc Chagall, Kehinde Wiley and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Navigating the waiting lists for the next Marlene Dumas, Jeff Koons or Jasper Johns has become competitive.

When you’re living with art, particularly as people more often work from home and enjoy their spaces, it’s important to choose art that resonates with you. While the richness of art with its many movements, styles and histories can be overwhelming, the key is to identify what is appealing and inspiring. Artwork can play with the surrounding color of a room, creating a layered approach. The dynamic shapes and sizes of sculptures can set different moods, such as a bronze by Miguel Guía on a mantel or an Alexander Calder mobile suspended over a table. A wall of art can evoke emotions in an interior while showing off your tastes and interests. A salon-style wall mixing eclectic pieces like landscape paintings with charcoal drawings is a unique way to transform a space and show off a collection.

For art meditating on the subconscious, investigate Surrealists like Joan Miró and Salvador Dalí. Explore Pop art and its leading artists such as Andy Warhol, Rosalyn Drexler and Keith Haring for bright and bold colors. Not only did these artists question art itself, but also how we perceive society. Similarly, 20th-century photography and abstract painting reconsidered the intent of art.

Abstract Expressionists like Helen Frankenthaler and Lee Krasner and Color Field artists including Sam Gilliam broke from conventional ideas of painting, while Op artists such as Yaacov Agam embraced visual trickery and kinetic movement. Novel visuals are also integral to contemporary work influenced by street art, such as sculptures and prints by KAWS.

Realist portraiture is a global tradition reflecting on what makes us human. This is reflected in the work of Slim Aarons, an American photographer whose images are at once candid and polished and appeared in Holiday magazine and elsewhere. Innovative artists Mickalene Thomas and Kerry James Marshall are now offering new perspectives on the form.

Collecting art is a rewarding, lifelong pursuit that can help connect you with the creative ways historic, modern and contemporary artists have engaged with the world. For more tips on piecing together an art collection, see our guide to buying and displaying art.

Pablo Picasso also painted himself throughout his life and produced several sketches of himself in 1972, when he was 90 years old. Other examples include Italian Renaissance painter Sofonisba Anguissola, who created a self-portrait in 1620 while in her late 80s, and Peter Paul Rubens, who sketched himself sometime between 1635 and 1640, when he was in his 60s.

He died in Iowa City, Iowa, in 1942, at the age of 51. Find an extraordinary collection of art for sale on 1stDibs.

    There are a few potential functions of art, and the specific function of a particular piece depends on its subject matter and medium.

For some artists, the function of art is to express religious devotion or to memorialize the image of someone who is notable. Art also enhances the visual appeal of the spaces where it is displayed.

    Any art form that typically requires great skill and shows a concern with aesthetics and communicating a theme, idea, message or intent is generally considered high art. In the visual arts, high art includes media like painting, sculpture and installations. High art differs from low art, where artists show more concern for function and utility.

  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024
    In contemporary art, conceptual art is a movement that began in the 1960s. Artists producing conceptual art assign more importance to the idea behind the art than to the piece itself. An example is Joseph Kosuth’s One and Three Chairs, a piece consisting of a real chair, a photograph of a chair and the dictionary definition of the word chair. When the work was displayed, Kosuth included instructions for any chair to be photographed and then displayed beside its image. In this way, the chair itself is not the artwork. Rather, the art comes from examining the way the object, image and words provide competing and complementary definitions of what a chair is. Find a large selection of fine art on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024
    In art, the meaning of form relates to space. In three-dimensional art, form describes how a particular piece takes up space when displayed.

    The difference between a mosaic and a painting comes down to materials. A painting is art produced by applying paint to a surface, usually a piece of canvas.

    It is difficult to say for certain how much the Mona Lisa is worth today. Experts estimate that the painting may be worth upwards of $860 million, but unless the painting comes up for auction, it can be difficult to predict how much it could sell for. The masterpiece painted by Leonardo da Vinci has been part of the Louvre's collection since 1797. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of fine art.

    How much Ralph Hotere art is worth depends on its size, condition, history and other factors. In 2023, his Pine: Without Singing sold for more than $331,000 at auction, setting a new record for Hotere's work. One of the most important New Zealand artists, Hotere became well-known for his minimalist abstract series of black paintings, which he started creating in the 1960s. His work was highly political, commenting on everything from environmentalism to apartheid. If you own a Hotere, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable art dealer can aid you in the valuation process. On 1stDibs, explore a wide range of fine art.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 8, 2024
    Artists can use a variety of techniques to create rhythm. One method is to create patterns or repeat forms throughout an artwork. The swirling branches of the tree in Gustav Klimt's The Tree of Life, Stoclet Frieze is a fine example of this technique. In some cases, the artist may use repeated forms in different sizes, creating a progressive rhythm. A good example of this approach is found in the shrinking stars and stripes visible in the layers of Jasper Johns's Three Flags. To achieve a flowing rhythm, an artist may choose to bend and curve various elements in their composition. Vincent van Gogh produced this effect with the tumultuous sky in The Starry Night.

    Monet was famous for his work as an artist. The French artist broke from conventional art traditions by depicting landscapes and people in a way meant to mimic how the eye actually sees the world, rather than striving to make his subjects appear as real as possible. An experimental painter, Claude Monet often returned to his favorite settings to paint the natural scenery at different times of day to show how light conditions affected landscapes. Monet's art helped define the Impressionist movement and went on to influence many other artists, including Vincent van Gogh, Pierre Bonnard and Henri Matisse. His most famous works include Impression, Sunrise; Woman with a Parasol; The Artist's Garden at Vétheuil and The Water Lily Pond. On 1stDibs, explore a large selection of Impressionist art.
