How Much are Hiroshige And Famous?
Finding the Right prints-works-on-paper for You
Decorating with fine art prints — whether they’re figurative prints, abstract prints or another variety — has always been a practical way of bringing a space to life as well as bringing works by an artist you love into your home.
Pursued in the 1960s and ’70s, largely by Pop artists drawn to its associations with mass production, advertising, packaging and seriality, as well as those challenging the primacy of the Abstract Expressionist brushstroke, printmaking was embraced in the 1980s by painters and conceptual artists ranging from David Salle and Elizabeth Murray to Adrian Piper and Sherrie Levine.
Printmaking is the transfer of an image from one surface to another. An artist takes a material like stone, metal, wood or wax, carves, incises, draws or otherwise marks it with an image, inks or paints it and then transfers the image to a piece of paper or other material.
Fine art prints are frequently confused with their more commercial counterparts. After all, our closest connection to the printed image is through mass-produced newspapers, magazines and books, and many people don’t realize that even though prints are editions, they start with an original image created by an artist with the intent of reproducing it in a small batch. Fine art prints are created in strictly limited editions — 20 or 30 or maybe 50 — and are always based on an image created specifically to be made into an edition.
Many people think of revered Dutch artist Rembrandt as a painter but may not know that he was a printmaker as well. His prints have been preserved in time along with the work of other celebrated printmakers such as Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí and Andy Warhol. These fine art prints are still highly sought after by collectors.
“It’s another tool in the artist’s toolbox, just like painting or sculpture or anything else that an artist uses in the service of mark making or expressing him- or herself,” says International Fine Print Dealers Association (IFPDA) vice president Betsy Senior, of New York’s Betsy Senior Fine Art, Inc.
Because artist’s editions tend to be more affordable and available than his or her unique works, they’re more accessible and can be a great opportunity to bring a variety of colors, textures and shapes into a space.
For tight corners, select small fine art prints as opposed to the oversized bold piece you’ll hang as a focal point in the dining area. But be careful not to choose something that is too big for your space. And feel free to lean into it if need be — not every work needs picture-hanging hooks. Leaning a larger fine art print against the wall behind a bookcase can add a stylish installation-type dynamic to your living room. (Read more about how to arrange wall art here.)

- What was Escher famous for?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024Escher was famous for graphic prints featuring infinite staircases, twisted perspectives and self-replicating animals. His pictures aren't simply puzzles designed to play tricks on the brain; they were born of a desire to stretch our powers of perception and encourage curiosity about the world around us. During and directly after World War II, Escher produced many of his most famous works, which were emotional reactions to a world plunged into chaos. This period marked the start of his fascination with impossible staircases, never-ending waterfalls and cyclical still lifes featuring figures and creatures seemingly caught in a loop -- a paradox of entrapment and renewal.

- What was Halston famous for?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2024Halston was famous for his work as a fashion designer.
Recognized for the understated but wholly glamorous fashions he introduced in the 1970s and revered today for his vintage dresses, sunglasses, handbags and other enduring designs, Roy Halston Frowick defined the spare, body-conscious style of the so-called Studio 54 era. In doing so, he became a legend, known simply as Halston, a lean moniker that represented the visionary minimalist ideals he would inject into the world of fashion.
As the hat designer for Bergdorf Goodman, he had his first encounter with fame in 1961 when Jackie Kennedy wore a pillbox hat he designed for President John F. Kennedy's inauguration. Less than a decade later, after hats fell out of fashion and sales plummeted, Halston launched his own ready-to-wear line and opened a Madison Avenue boutique.
One of Halston's early successes was the sexy Ultrasuede shirtdress, an unassuming adaptation of a man's oxford shirt introduced in 1972 that became a fashion staple for the well-dressed woman. In one season, 60,000 were sold. Ultrasuede became a Halston signature, and he would use the fabric in coats, luggage and other items.

- Why is Vermeer so famous?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 22, 2024Vermeer is so famous for a few reasons. First, the 17th-century Dutch painter’s style was unique for his time, as few artists managed to utilize light and color as masterfully as he did in his depictions of everyday life. However, it took until the 19th century for his work to reach international acclaim, as he only produced a small number of paintings for his patrons in Delft. His art has subsequently contributed to popular culture, such as his Girl with a Pearl Earring, inspiring everything from poetry to novels to the works of contemporary artists like Banksy. It has also appeared in films and television shows. On 1stDibs, shop a wide variety of fine art.

Banksy began as a graffiti artist in the early 1990s. He found fame for his stenciled and spray-painted pieces, which are most often rooted in anti-war or anti-establishment messaging, appearing in cities such as London, New York and Los Angeles, and for his "stunts" that are intended to subvert and provoke the art world.
