Graciela #VI -  Neo Platinum. By Sparshatt Dalzell.

Graciela #VI - Neo Platinum. By Sparshatt Dalzell.

By James Sparshatt

Located in Coltishall, GB

Sparshatt Dalzell is a collaboration between photographer James Sparshatt and painter Rachael Dalzell. Graciela, an icon of old Havana. It was taken in 2001 on one of James first visits to the island. Rachael’s interpretations bring alive her spirit. These works combine the exacting and time consuming artistry of the palladium platinum printing process with Dalzell's expressive and immediate painting style to bring colour and drama to Sparshatt's portraits. James Sparshatt's Spirit of Revolution series documents the strength and resillience of a generation of Cubans who have lived through a half century of tumultuous history on their island. His black and white portraits capture every wrinkle and line. Shot on the street they exude a natural charm. They are printed as Palladium Platinum prints by master of the art Max...

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.

    How much Amos Amit art is worth depends on its size, condition and other factors. In 2022, his Birch Trees, Batik sold for $250 at an auction in Washington, D.C.

  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 15, 2024
    The difference between traditional East and West art comes down largely to the aims of artists. Traditionally, Eastern artists sought to tell stories and reveal their perceptions of the world around them, seeking to make their works visually appealing, not realistic. Until the modern era, which began in the mid-19th century, most Western artists focused on depicting scenes as realistically as possible, using techniques like linear perspective to give two-dimensional images the illusion of existing in three dimensions. On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of fine art.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 30, 2024
    A few things make art valuable. The technical skill that goes into producing a work contributes to its value, as do its aesthetic qualities, such as its composition, visual appeal and colors. Pieces that have some historical significance due to their subject or history of ownership tend to fetch higher prices. The importance and level of fame of the artist, as well as the overall condition of the piece, also affect how much it is worth. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of fine art.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 30, 2024
    The oldest art in the world is widely considered to be the cave paintings produced by early ancestors. These works date back more than 45,000 years.

    The most famous painting in the Louvre is arguably the Mona Lisa. Painted in the early 16th century by Italian Renaissance master Leonardo da Vinci, it is a half-length oil-on-wood portrait of Lisa del Giocondo. Some other famous paintings in the Louvre include Liberty Leading the People by Eugène Delacroix, Oath of the Horatii by Jacques-Louis David, The Wedding at Cana by Paolo Veronese, The Raft of the Medusa by Théodore Géricault and Death of the Virgin by Caravaggio. On 1stDibs, explore a large selection of fine art.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 8, 2024
    Leonardo da Vinci actually painted the Mona Lisa. Although works of fiction, including novels and films, have led some people to falsely believe that the work was secretly created by someone else, there is no historical evidence to support this. Interestingly, there is a very similar painting in the collection of the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain. Called La Gioconda, it was most likely painted by one of da Vinci's apprentices and completed while the master artist worked on the Mona Lisa. On 1stDibs, explore a large collection of fine art.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024
    The seven elements of art are line, shape, space, value, form, texture and color. Line refers to the strokes that form an object, while space is how these elements are positioned within the work. Color is the term for the hues in a piece, and value is a description of how light or dark these hues are. Texture can refer to actual differences in the feel of the art or to techniques that create an illusory visual textural effect. Shape is the word for the two-dimensional elements of a work, and form refers to three-dimensional works. Find a large selection of fine art on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2024
    The Salvator Mundi is likely worth more than $450 million. That's the price the painting fetched when it sold at auction in 2017, establishing a new record for the most expensive selling price for any work of art in the world. With inflation, the painting is likely worth millions more today. Leonardo da Vinci painted the Salvator Mundi sometime between 1499 and 1510. The painting is a portrait of Christ making the sign of the cross. On 1stDibs, explore a diverse assortment of fine art.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 30, 2024

    How much Matt Lamb paintings are worth depends on their size, history, condition and other factors. In 2006, an oil on board painting by Lamb entitled Three Women sold for more than $800. The American artist was known as a proponent of world peace and is perhaps most famous for his Umbrellas for Peace project launched after the September 11th attacks in 2001. If you own a Lamb painting, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable art dealer can perform a valuation for you. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of American art.

    Yes, artists do seem to see the world differently. Science has even confirmed it. Studies have shown that successful artists tend to focus on their entire field of vision rather than on the individual objects that fill it. Researchers speculate that this may give artists the unique ability to notice shadows and contrasts that other people are unlikely to perceive. Explore a wide range of fine art on 1stDibs.

    Several famous painters burned their own artwork. Pablo Picasso did so in order to keep warm when he was facing financial hardships, and Camille Claudel destroyed most of her pieces by fire when suffering from mental illness. Dozens of charred paintings were discovered in Francis Bacon's home after his death as well. In some cases, the burning of art has even been part of the artwork itself. An example of this is Damien Hirst's The Currency. For this conceptual work, the contemporary artist sold 10,000 NFTs and then live-streamed himself burning the first thousand works he ever produced. On 1stDibs, explore a large collection of fine art.

    The difference between a mural and a mosaic is in the specificity of the terms. Mural is a general term for a piece of artwork applied directly to a wall.

Mosaics can be murals, but they may also adorn other surfaces, such as floors and furniture. Explore a diverse assortment of art on 1stDibs.

    To tell if an artist's signature is real, you generally need to compare it to images of their signature on authenticated works. You can find such pictures posted on the pages of trusted online resources. However, some counterfeiters are very skilled at copying signatures, making it difficult to determine reproductions from originals in some cases. As a result, experts typically recommend having a certified appraiser or experienced art dealer assist you with the authentication process. Find a wide variety of art on 1stDibs.
