Hokusai Wave For Sale on 1stDibs

You are likely to find exactly the hokusai wave you’re looking for on 1stDibs, as there is a broad range for sale. Find abstract versions now, or shop for abstract creations for a more modern example of these cherished works. If you’re looking for a hokusai wave from a specific time period, our collection is diverse and broad-ranging, and you’ll find at least one that dates back to the 19th Century while another version may have been produced as recently as the 21st Century. Adding a hokusai wave to a room that is mostly decorated in warm neutral tones can yield a welcome change — find a piece on 1stDibs that incorporates elements of beige, gray, black, red and more. There have been many interesting hokusai wave examples over the years, but those made by Katsushika Hokusai, Andrée Bars, Denise Mumm, Arthur Wesley Dow and Zane Fix are often thought to be among the most thought-provoking. Artworks like these — often created in woodcut print, mixed media and paint — can elevate any room of your home. A large hokusai wave can prove too dominant for some spaces — a smaller hokusai wave, measuring 2.5 high and 4 wide, may better suit your needs.

The price for an artwork of this kind can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — a hokusai wave in our inventory may begin at $288 and can go as high as $76,500, while the average can fetch as much as $959.
Questions About Hokusai Wave
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2024
    How much Hokusai's Great Wave is worth varies. Hokusai produced an estimated 8,000 copies of his now iconic woodblock print, The Great Wave off Kanagawa, and experts believe only 100 survive today. The condition of a surviving print will largely determine its value. In 2023, a Great Wave in excellent condition sold for $2.76 million at auction. If you're lucky enough to own an original, enlist the help of a certified appraiser or experienced art dealer to determine its value. Explore a variety of Katsushika Hokusai art on 1stDibs.
