Ben Cope For Sale on 1stDibs
Find the exact ben cope you’re shopping for in the variety available on 1stDibs. Find Minimalist versions now, or shop for Minimalist creations for a more modern example of these cherished works. On 1stDibs, the right ben cope is waiting for you and the choices span a range of colors that includes gray, black, blue and beige. There have been many interesting ben cope examples over the years, but those made by Ben Cope and Rowan Daly are often thought to be among the most thought-provoking. These artworks were handmade with extraordinary care, with artists most often working in archival pigment print, pigment print and paper. A large ben cope can prove too dominant for some spaces — a smaller ben cope, measuring 18 high and 12 wide, may better suit your needs.
How Much is a Ben Cope?
The price for an artwork of this kind can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — a ben cope in our inventory may begin at $700 and can go as high as $15,000, while the average can fetch as much as $700.
Finding the Right Photography for You
Find a broad range of photography on 1stDibs today.
The first permanent image created by a camera — which materialized during the 1820s — is attributed to Joseph Nicéphore Niépce. The French inventor was on to something for sure. Kodak introduced roll film in the 1880s, allowing photography to become more democratic, although cameras wouldn’t be universally accessible until several decades later.
Digital photographic techniques, software, smartphone cameras and social-networking platforms such as Instagram have made it even easier in the modern era for budding photographers to capture the world around them as well as disseminate their images far and wide.
What might leading figures of visual art such as Andy Warhol have done with these tools at their disposal?
Today, when we aren’t looking at the digital photos that inundate us on our phones, we look to the past to celebrate the photographers who have broken rules as well as records — provocative and prolific artists like Horst P. Horst, Lillian Bassman and Helmut Newton, who altered the face of fashion and portrait photography; visionary documentary photographers such as Gordon Parks, whose best-known work was guided by social justice; and pioneers of street photography such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, who shot for revolutionary travel magazines like Holiday with the likes of globetrotting society lensman Slim Aarons.
Find photographers you may not know in Introspective and The Study — where you’ll read about Berenice Abbott, who positioned herself atop skyscrapers for the perfect shot, or “conceptual artist-adventurer” Charles Lindsay, whose work combines scientific rigor with artistic expression, or Massimo Listri, known for his epic interiors of opulent Old World libraries. Photographer Jeannette Montgomery Barron was given a Kodak camera as a child. Later, she shot on Polaroid film before buying her first 35mm camera in her teens. Barron's stunning portraits of Jean-Michel Basquiat, Warhol and other artists chronicle a crucial chapter of New York’s cultural history.
Throughout the past two centuries, photographers have used their medium to create expressive work that has resonated for generations. Shop a voluminous collection of this powerful fine photography on 1stDibs. Search by photographer to find the perfect piece for your living room wall, or spend some time with the work organized under various categories, such as landscape photography, nude photography and more.
