Material Culture For Sale on 1stDibs
You are likely to find exactly the material culture you’re looking for on 1stDibs, as there is a broad range for sale. You can easily find an example made in the abstract style, while we also have 456 abstract versions to choose from as well. If you’re looking for a material culture from a specific time period, our collection is diverse and broad-ranging, and you’ll find at least one that dates back to the 18th Century while another version may have been produced as recently as the 21st Century. On 1stDibs, the right material culture is waiting for you and the choices span a range of colors that includes gray, beige, black and blue. Creating a material culture has been a part of the legacy of many artists, but those crafted by Stefanie Schneider, Franco Gentilini, Melisa Taylor Metzger, HIRO ANDO and Ana Seggiaro are consistently popular. These artworks were handmade with extraordinary care, with artists most often working in paint, paper and photographic paper. A large material culture can be an attractive addition to some spaces, while smaller examples are available — approximately spanning 1 high and 0.4 wide — and may be better suited to a more modest living area.
How Much is a Material Culture?
The price for a material culture in our collection starts at $54 and tops out at $288,000 with the average selling for $2,394.
