Questions About Original Cover Art

  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 14, 2024
    Art Nouveau originated in France and Great Britain, but variants materialized elsewhere. The visual vocabulary of Art Nouveau was particularly influenced by the soft colors and abstract images of nature as portrayed in Japanese art prints, which arrived in large numbers in the West after open trade was forced upon Japan in the 1860s. Impressionist artists were moved by the artistic tradition of Japanese woodblock printmaking and other modes of art and design in the East Asian country. The Art Nouveau style quickly reached a wide audience in Europe via advertising posters, book covers, illustrations and other work by such artists as Aubrey Beardsley, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Alphonse Mucha. While all Art Nouveau designs share common formal elements, different countries and regions produced their own versions. Explore a selection of Art Nouveau furniture, jewelry and art on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021
    An original piece of art is a work that is considered to be an authentic example of an artist’s output, versus a reproduction. An original piece may refer to a sculpture, painting, a performance work or any other work in a range of other media. On 1stDibs, shop a range of antique and vintage original pieces of art.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 1, 2024
    The Art Deco period originated in France. Its name comes from the title of a large decorative arts exhibition held in Paris in 1925, credited with introducing the style to the world. It was informed by ancient Egypt, Cubism, Futurism, Louis XVI, De Stijl, modernism and the Vienna Secession and went on to influence the Streamline Moderne and mid-century modern movements. Shop a wide range of Art Deco furniture, decorative objects and jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • Lilac Gallery Ltd.March 17, 2021
    The cost of original art has a very wide range. For emerging new artist could be in the lower end, ranging from the $50 to $10,000 and the mid-career artists who are already established, their prices range in the thousands and hundreds of thousands of dollars and lastly the original art of very established and popular artists that could have auction records in the millions of dollars. Having said that, a good advice would be to learn more about the artist that is of your interest and the pricing range according to your budget, this would include the CV-bio of the artist, quality and quantity of the works produced, gallery representation, exhibitions, private and corporate collections, etc. and base on that information it would be easier to understand better how much that particular original art should cost.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    No, a lithograph isn’t technically an original work of art. It’s a type of print, but a lithograph is generally more prized than a common print because each lithograph is hand-made by the artist through the process of lithography. They’re usually made in much lower quantities than prints, which are easier to produce on a large scale. On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of lithographs from various artists.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 4, 2024
    Many art lovers believe that buying original art is worth it.

However, whether or not it’s worth investing in original art is totally subjective! At 1stDibs, we believe in buying what you love.

  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 24, 2024
    Yes, original art prints may be worth something. However, the value of prints varies greatly based on the artist, age, image quality, historical significance, availability and overall condition. To find out how much a print that you own may be worth, consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable art dealer, who can evaluate your piece based on its characteristics and history and give you an estimated fair market value for it. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of art prints.
