  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    Keith Haring is important primarily because his innovative work, which began as street art on the New York City subway, became widely known during the 1980s and influenced other artists working at the time. Haring was also an activist — his late-career prints and murals addressed contemporary issues he experienced personally, like the crack-cocaine and AIDS epidemics. Haring helped elevate graffiti art and was one of the first artists to begin placing his designs on merchandise sold to the general public through his Pop Shop in New York City. Shop a collection of Keith Haring art on 1stDibs.

    René Magritte is important for several reasons. His works that played with the viewer's perspective helped define Surrealism.

    Magritte's apples inspired the name of The Beatles's record label, and the eye featured in his painting The False Mirror inspired the logo of the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS). There is even a reference to Magritte's The Lovers II in Beyoncé's music video for the song “MINE.”

    What the most important household furniture is comes down to personal opinion.

Others may feel that beds are more crucial to the functionality of a home since they help set the stage for a good night's sleep. It can even be argued that particular pieces of storage furniture may be of importance because they keep belongings clean, protected from dust and sun exposure and neatly organized.

    The more optimal its condition, the more valuable an antique will likely be. If an item is perfectly uniform with no color, this is likely indicative that it is a modern mass-produced reproduction and thus, less valuable. When 1stDibs vets an item, we look for item condition and patina to determine if an item shows signs of age.
