Keith Sonnier, American (1941-2020) lithograph From Neon series circa 1980-1981 Bears the Waterstreet Press watermarks and Arches paper blind stamp to lower right corner. Pub. Edizioni Lucio Amelio Hand signed with initials in pencil Dimensions: 30 x 21 3/4 inches Post minimalist Abstract by Keith Sonnier Keith Sonnier (1941 – 2020) was a post minimalist sculptor, performance artist, video and light artist. Sonnier was one of the first artists to use light in sculpture in the 1960s. With his use of neon in combination with ephemeral materials he achieved international recognition. Sonnier was part of the Process Art movement. James Keith Sonnier was born July 31, 1941, in Mamou, Louisiana. His family was Cajun and Roman Catholic. His father was a hardware store owner, Joseph Sonnier, and his mother was a florist and singer, Mae Ledoux. He graduated in 1963 from Southwestern Louisiana Institute (now known as the University of Louisiana at Lafayette). In 1966, he graduated with his MFA degree from Rutgers University, where he studied under Allan Kaprow, Robert Watts, and Robert Morris. After graduation from Rutgers, he moved to New York City with Jackie Winsor and some of his former classmates. Sonnier died in Southampton, NY on July 18, 2020. Sonnier began experimenting with neon in 1968. Neon lights became a signature material used in his sculptural works. The common materials Sonnier employed included neon and fluorescent lights; reflective materials; aluminum and copper; and glass and wires. Of the generation of James Turrell and Dan Flavin, He was also associated with the Light and Space movement, a loosely affiliated art movement related to op art, minimalism and geometric abstraction originating in Southern California in the 1960s and influenced by John McLaughlin. It is characterized by a focus on perceptual phenomena, such as light, volume and scale, and the use of materials such as glass, neon, fluorescent lights, resin and cast acrylic, often forming installations conditioned by the work's surroundings. Artists included Ron Cooper...

COLUMN FRAGMENT, RED SQUARE Hailing from the conceptually grounded exhibition "From Stone to Canvas", this compelling square-format artwork is a masterclass in striking visual contrasts. While the overarching collection meditates on the serene white-and-gold architectural legacy of the Cathedral of Granada—originally curated by the 16th-century master Diego de Siloé—this particular iteration boldly shatters convention. Ablaze in an intense, arresting fluorescent red, the piece serves as a brilliant bridge between historical Spanish monumentalism and the high-octane, neon-drenched energy of the artist’s celebrated "Pop Miami" series. It is a dramatic, highly tactile focal point intentionally designed to ignite the senses within luxury interiors. Textural Mastery & Sculptural Technique: Haute Couture Transition: Merging the distinct worlds of fine art and high fashion, the artist treats the raw canvas much like a bespoke garment. Expert sartorial techniques—including precise draping, folding, and gathering—infuse the piece with a profound sense of organic movement. Dimensional Architecture: Moving beyond the two-dimensional plane, the heavily manipulated textiles are painted, sculpted, and cured into a semi-rigid physical state. This intricate process flawlessly replicates the vertical, carved fluting of an antique stone pillar. Striking Crimson Accent: The introduction of a vivid, fluorine red provides a spectacular punch of color. It offers an energetic, contemporary twist that functions as the ultimate statement piece for minimalist spaces, monochrome rooms, or eclectic modern galleries. Regal Framing Presentation: To beautifully contain the explosive modern red and pay direct homage to the Cathedral’s original classical palette, the artwork is meticulously encased in a bespoke white and gold wooden frame, adding an exquisite final layer of sophistication.

COLUMN FRAGMENT, RECTANGULAR FLUOR PINK Part of the conceptual exhibition "From Stone to Canvas", this vibrant rectangular artwork presents a spectacular collision of classical antiquity and bold contemporary pop art. While the foundational concept of the series pays homage to the serene white and gold aesthetics of the Cathedral of Granada—originally curated by the master Renaissance architect Diego de Siloé—this specific piece brilliantly breaks the historical mold. By injecting an electrifying fluorescent pink hue, the artist bridges her architectural inspiration with the high-voltage energy of her iconic "Pop Miami" series. The result is a fearless, highly textured statement piece that instantly draws the eye. Artistic Composition & Sculptural Technique: Sartorial Sculpting: Leveraging a profound background in haute couture, the artist applies sophisticated garment-making techniques directly onto the canvas. Expert draping, precise folding, and gathering transform raw textiles into high art. Dimensional Hardening: Pushing beyond flat painting, the manipulated fabric is painted, treated, and sculpted until it cures into a semi-rigid state, convincingly replicating the vertical fluting of a carved stone pillar. Vibrant Fusion: The brilliant fluor pink tones provide an unexpected, ultra-modern edge, making this piece the ultimate focal point for eclectic luxury lofts, contemporary living spaces, or daring commercial interiors. Exquisite Framing: To ground the vibrant neon tones and add a layer of deep sophistication, the artwork is elegantly encased in a bespoke black and gold wooden frame, finalizing its gallery-ready presentation.

Diptych Contemporary Collage, Neon Orange & Pink Color on Black. Framed in Gold

By Cristina Estañ

Located in ALCOY/ALCOI, ES

DIPTYCH COLUMN FRAGMENT, RECTANGULAR FLUOR CORAL AND PINK Emerging from the conceptually rich exhibition "From Stone to Canvas", this electrifying two-piece diptych offers a bold reinterpretation of classical antiquity. While the series originally pays homage to the solemn, white-and-gold aesthetic of the Cathedral of Granada—envisioned by Renaissance master Diego de Siloé—this specific dual composition intentionally shatters historical expectations. By introducing a striking palette of fluorescent coral and vivid pink, the artist seamlessly bridges monumental 16th-century architecture with the pulsating, neon-drenched energy of her distinguished "Pop Miami" series. As a diptych, it commands immense visual authority, perfect for anchoring expansive walls in high-end eclectic interiors. Artistic Composition & Sculptural Execution: Haute Couture Draping: Drawing upon decades of expertise in the fashion industry, the artist treats the raw canvas as a tailored garment. The sophisticated folds, gathers, and drapes are meticulously formed using traditional sartorial techniques. From Fabric to Stone: Transcending two dimensions, the manipulated textiles are heavily treated, painted, and sculpted until they cure into a semi-rigid structure. The resulting texture masterfully replicates the carved fluting of ancient stone semi-columns. Chromatic Duality: The fearless interplay between the fluorescent coral and pink neon hues creates a captivating vibration, making this diptych an ultimate statement piece for avant-garde, modern, or boldly curated luxury spaces. Regal Framing: Providing a sophisticated boundary to the explosive neon colors, both rectangular artworks are elegantly housed in bespoke black and gold wooden frames, ensuring a highly polished, gallery-ready presentation.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Yes, artists do seem to see the world differently. Science has even confirmed it.

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.

    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. On the other hand, a mosaic is an artwork made by arranging small pieces of material, such as tiles, glass fragments or stones. 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.
