Big Sleep For Sale on 1stDibs

On 1stDibs, you can find the most appropriate big sleep for your needs in our varied inventory. You can easily find an example made in the modern style, while we also have 15 modern versions to choose from as well. Finding the perfect big sleep may mean sifting through those created during different time periods — you can find an early version that dates to the 19th Century and a newer variation that were made as recently as the 21st Century. If you’re looking to add a big sleep to create new energy in an otherwise neutral space in your home, you can find a work on 1stDibs that features elements of beige, gray, white, black and more. There have been many interesting big sleep examples over the years, but those made by Stefanie Schneider, James Lewin, Prokash Karmakar, Kirsten Thys van den Audenaerde and Igor Dobrowolski are often thought to be among the most thought-provoking. 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 paper, c print and photographic paper can add an especially memorable touch. A large big sleep can be an attractive addition to some spaces, while smaller examples are available — approximately spanning 3.23 high and 3.23 wide — and may be better suited to a more modest living area.

How Much is a Big Sleep?

The price for an artwork of this kind can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — a big sleep in our inventory may begin at $106 and can go as high as $52,500, while the average can fetch as much as $1,306.
