Hotel du Cap Eden-Roc, Waterskiing in Cap d'Antibes, France
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Immerse yourself in the essence of 1960s Riviera luxury with Slim Aarons' vibrant photograph, Hotel Du Cap-Eden-Roc. This striking image, a token of nautical elegance, showcases a series of exquisite red vintage boats, ready to glide through the waters of the French Riviera. Captured in the summer of 1969, this photograph is a symphony of color and activity, featuring the opulent lifestyle at the iconic Hotel Du Cap-Eden-Roc. The rich wooden finish of the vintage boats, named Sirocco, Eleven-Eleven, and Sunny III, gleams under the Mediterranean sun, reflecting a time when leisure was an art form perfected through timeless style. In the foreground, we see the boats moored gracefully by the dock, their polished brass fittings and vibrant red hulls drawing the eye with an irresistible allure. The scene is alive with movement; a waterskier cuts a swathe through the azure blue, trailed by a boat that slices through the calm sea, creating a dynamic contrast of stillness and speed. This Slim Aarons photograph not only captures the visual splendor of the era but also embodies the spirit of the French Riviera's high life - a life of leisure, luxury, and endless summer days spent on the water. Perfect for collectors looking to infuse their space with the timeless chic of the Côte d'Azur. Add this classic Slim Aarons piece to your collection and let it transport you to the glamorous world of 1960s waterskiing, where elegance and adventure sail in tandem on the serene waters of Cap d'Antibes.

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.

A variety of authentic art is available on 1stDibs. Explore art at auction and the 1stDibs NFT art marketplace, too.
