- Who is the father of Pop art?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 16, 2024Opinions vary on who the father of Pop art may be. Pop art emerged in the 1950s in Britain and flourished in 1960s-era America as a reaction to postwar mass consumerism. Some argue that Andy Warhol deserves the title because he helped shape the movement during the 1960s. However, other artists like Eduardo Paolozzi and Richard Hamilton began producing what’s now considered Pop art a decade earlier. Other artists who made important contributions to Pop art include Marta Minujín, Claes Oldenburg, Rosalyn Drexler, James Rosenquist, Peter Blake and Roy Lichtenstein. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of Pop Art.

During the early 20th century, the British architect and designer became known for his work designing luxurious interiors for homes in the English countryside. Others argue that interior design has a mother, too, in Elsie de Wolfe. Historians often credit de Wolfe with establishing interior design as a profession in its own right due to her work for high-profile clients like the Duke and Duchess of Windsor and Henry Clay Frick and Adelaide Howard Childs.

- Does watercolor fade over time?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 12, 2024Yes, watercolor can fade over time.

Using acid-free paper can also reduce the risk of discoloration. Find a collection of fine art from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
- How do I adjust a Rolex’s time?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022To adjust a Rolex's time, first unscrew the crown.

A user guide accompanies each Rolex watch sold and describes the correct time-setting process for that model in great detail. Find a large collection of Rolex watches on 1stDibs.
- What is dual time on a watch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Dual time on a watch is time in two different time zones.

- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023What earrings are best to keep in all of the time is largely a matter of personal preference.

Shop a collection of earrings from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2024Yes, oil paintings darken over time. As oil paint is made of pigment particles, the range of substances that are used as pigment in oil paint can render certain colors susceptible to aging. Slowing the aging process for an oil painting involves storing your painting properly and keeping the work out of exposed sunlight. Temperature control and humidity are also important in preserving the life of an oil painting and slowing the aging process.
To maintain oil paintings that you purchased for your home, experts suggest that you keep them out of direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to the sunlight coming in from a window can fade the colors in your painting. Do not hang your oil painting near a heat source or where it can get wet (bathrooms and kitchens are not safe for your oil painting).
You may wish to dust your oil painting so that layers of dust don’t begin to gather on its surface. This should only be considered to remove loose dust. Never spray any chemical substance on your oil painting. Do not use a damp cloth to dust your oil painting. (Again, your painting should not be exposed to moisture.)
To remove loose dust, use a soft brush that measures approximately one to two inches wide with natural-hair bristles. Do not use a dust cloth or a feather duster, as those items may catch or leave threads or feathers behind. Do not apply pressure or dust your painting for an extended period of time.
If you think that your oil painting is considerably dirty or believe that other issues may be at work, experts strongly suggest that you consult with a professional conservator.
Read about how to arrange your wall art and find oil paintings for sale on 1stDibs. - 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024The most famous animal sculptor of all time is arguably Antoine-Louis Barye. The French artist was acclaimed not only for his skill but also as the founder of what became known as the French Animalier School. Barye's specialty was wild game such as lions, tigers and elephants, but he also created equestrian groups and mythological figures, typically in bronze. In order to realistically depict animal anatomy, he spent much time at the Jardin des Plantes menagerie in Paris. Explore a variety of Antoine-Louis Barye sculptures on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023Yes, you should generally leave outdoor fountains on all the time during warm weather. Manufacturers engineer fountain pumps to run continuously, and shutting them off and restarting them regularly could shorten their lifespan. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of outdoor fountains and other garden elements.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022How to set the time on a Fendi watch depends on the type of timepiece that you have. For quartz watches, simply pull out the winding crown to the middle position and twist to change the time. To set the date, move the winding crown into the outermost position and twist.
