Tape Recorder For Sale on 1stDibs

You are likely to find exactly the tape recorder you’re looking for on 1stDibs, as there is a broad range for sale. In our selection of items, you can find Surrealist examples as well as a modern version. Making the right choice when shopping for a tape recorder 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. If you’re looking to add a tape recorder to create new energy in an otherwise neutral space in your home, you can find a work on 1stDibs that features elements of beige, gray, white, orange and more. There have been many interesting tape recorder examples over the years, but those made by Fred Deux, Andy Warhol, Claes Oldenburg, Denis Phillips and Sonal Varshneya Ojha are often thought to be among the most thought-provoking. Frequently made by artists working in etching, engraving and silver gelatin print, these artworks are unique and have attracted attention over the years. A large tape recorder can prove too dominant for some spaces — a smaller tape recorder, measuring 6 high and 4 wide, may better suit your needs.
