Liminal Space For Sale on 1stDibs

On 1stDibs, you can find the most appropriate liminal space for your needs in our varied inventory. There are many contemporary, abstract and minimalist versions of these works for sale. When looking for the right liminal space for your space, you can search on 1stDibs by color — popular works were created in bold and neutral palettes with elements of gray, beige, brown and blue. A liminal space from David Burdeny, David Collins, Barbara Marks, James Pitts and Robert Voit — each of whom created distinctive versions of this kind of work — is worth considering. 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, pigment print and digital print can add an especially memorable touch. A large liminal space can be an attractive addition to some spaces, while smaller examples are available — approximately spanning 1 high and 0.0875 wide — and may be better suited to a more modest living area.

How Much is a Liminal Space?

The average selling price for a liminal space we offer is $3,500, while they’re typically $180 on the low end and $33,067 for the highest priced.
