Humor Art For Sale on 1stDibs
Find the exact piece of humor art you’re shopping for in the variety available on 1stDibs. In our selection of items, you can find Contemporary examples as well as a Expressionist version. You’re likely to find the perfect item from our selection of humor art among the distinctive items we have available, which includes versions made as long ago as the 20th Century as well as those made as recently as the 21st Century. If you’re looking to add a choice in our collection of humor art to create new energy in an otherwise neutral space in your home, you can find a work on 1stDibs that features elements of brown, gray, beige, blue and more. Finding an appealing object in our assortment of humor art — no matter the origin — is easy, but Stephen Basso, Andrew Smenos, Beryl Cook, Roland Topor and Glenn Green each produced popular versions that are worth a look. Artworks like these — often created in paint, oil paint and canvas — can elevate any room of your home. A large option in this array of humor art can prove too dominant for some spaces — a smaller piece of humor art, measuring 3 high and 2 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 piece of humor art in our inventory may begin at $50 and can go as high as $22,000, while the average can fetch as much as $1,500.
