Social Commentary For Sale on 1stDibs
Surely you’ll find the exact social commentary you’re seeking on 1stDibs — we’ve got a vast assortment for sale. You can easily find an example made in the Minimalist style, while we also have 2 Minimalist versions to choose from as well. Making the right choice when shopping for a social commentary may mean carefully reviewing examples of this item dating from different eras — you can find an early iteration of this piece from the 20th Century and a newer version made as recently as the 21st Century. Adding a social commentary 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 gray, beige, black, brown and more. Creating a social commentary has been a part of the legacy of many artists, but those crafted by Carole Conde & Karl Beveridge, Audrey Anastasi, Elin Sian Blake, Adam Mars and Nguyen Vinh Trung are consistently popular. Artworks like these — often created in fabric, paint and c print — can elevate any room of your home. A large social commentary can prove too dominant for some spaces — a smaller social commentary, measuring 13.25 high and 6 wide, may better suit your needs.
How Much is a Social Commentary?
A social commentary can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price for items in our inventory is $1,500, while the lowest priced sells for $1,102 and the highest can go for as much as $4,000.
