Abandoned Building For Sale on 1stDibs

Find the exact abandoned building you’re shopping for in the variety available on 1stDibs. Find abstract versions now, or shop for abstract creations for a more modern example of these cherished works. Finding the perfect abandoned building may mean sifting through those created during different time periods — you can find an early version that dates to the 18th Century and a newer variation that were made as recently as the 21st Century. On 1stDibs, the right abandoned building is waiting for you and the choices span a range of colors that includes gray, black, brown and blue. An abandoned building from Rebecca Skinner, Jenny Day, David Umemoto, Marilina Marchica and G. Harvey — each of whom created distinctive versions of this kind of work — is worth considering. Artworks like these of any era or style can make for thoughtful decor in any space, but a selection from our variety of those made in paint, oil paint and pigment print can add an especially memorable touch. A large abandoned building can be an attractive addition to some spaces, while smaller examples are available — approximately spanning 1.5 high and 2.56 wide — and may be better suited to a more modest living area.
