Pinhole Photograph For Sale on 1stDibs

You are likely to find exactly the pinhole photograph you’re looking for on 1stDibs, as there is a broad range for sale. There are many contemporary, abstract and minimalist versions of these works for sale. If you’re looking for a pinhole photograph 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. If you’re looking to add a pinhole photograph to create new energy in an otherwise neutral space in your home, you can find a work on 1stDibs that features elements of gray, black, brown, blue and more. A pinhole photograph from Diana Bloomfield, Miroslav Tichy, Cody S. Brothers, Christopher Harris and Birgit Blyth — each of whom created distinctive versions of this kind of work — is worth considering. Frequently made by artists working in paper, archival paper and photographic paper, these artworks are unique and have attracted attention over the years. A large pinhole photograph can prove too dominant for some spaces — a smaller pinhole photograph, measuring 4.73 high and 4.14 wide, may better suit your needs.

How Much is a Pinhole Photograph?

The average selling price for a pinhole photograph we offer is $3,500, while they’re typically $220 on the low end and $11,000 for the highest priced.

Finding the Right Photography for You

Find a broad range of photography on 1stDibs today.

The first permanent image created by a camera — which materialized during the 1820s — is attributed to Joseph Nicéphore Niépce. The French inventor was on to something for sure. Kodak introduced roll film in the 1880s, allowing photography to become more democratic, although cameras wouldn’t be universally accessible until several decades later. 

Digital photographic techniques, software, smartphone cameras and social-networking platforms such as Instagram have made it even easier in the modern era for budding photographers to capture the world around them as well as disseminate their images far and wide. 

What might leading figures of visual art such as Andy Warhol have done with these tools at their disposal?

Today, when we aren’t looking at the digital photos that inundate us on our phones, we look to the past to celebrate the photographers who have broken rules as well as records — provocative and prolific artists like Horst P. Horst, Lillian Bassman and Helmut Newton, who altered the face of fashion and portrait photography; visionary documentary photographers such as Gordon Parks, whose best-known work was guided by social justice; and pioneers of street photography such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, who shot for revolutionary travel magazines like Holiday with the likes of globetrotting society lensman Slim Aarons.

Find photographers you may not know in Introspective and The Study — where you’ll read about Berenice Abbott, who positioned herself atop skyscrapers for the perfect shot, or “conceptual artist-adventurer” Charles Lindsay, whose work combines scientific rigor with artistic expression, or Massimo Listri, known for his epic interiors of opulent Old World libraries. Photographer Jeannette Montgomery Barron was given a Kodak camera as a child. Later, she shot on Polaroid film before buying her first 35mm camera in her teens. Barron's stunning portraits of Jean-Michel Basquiat, Warhol and other artists chronicle a crucial chapter of New York’s cultural history.

Throughout the past two centuries, photographers have used their medium to create expressive work that has resonated for generations. Shop a voluminous collection of this powerful fine photography on 1stDibs. Search by photographer to find the perfect piece for your living room wall, or spend some time with the work organized under various categories, such as landscape photography, nude photography and more.
