Fine artists produce paintings, prints, sculptures and other artworks to express an idea or concept, communicate a message or tell a story.

Pieces of folk art often have more practical uses compared to works of fine art, such as quilts and furniture. Other examples of folk art include pottery, masks, textiles and carvings. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of fine and folk art.
