Texture Art For Sale on 1stDibs

On 1stDibs, you can find the most appropriate piece of texture art for your needs in our varied inventory. In our selection of items, you can find Contemporary examples as well as a Abstract version. If you’re looking for an item from our selection of texture art from a specific time period, our collection is diverse and broad-ranging, and you’ll find at least one that dates back to the 20th Century while another version may have been produced as recently as the 21st Century. If you’re looking to add a choice in our collection of texture art to create new energy in an otherwise neutral space in your home, you can find a work on 1stDibs that features elements of gray, brown, black, beige and more. Creating an object in our assortment of texture art has been a part of the legacy of many artists, but those crafted by Irena Orlov, Nancy Eckels, Melisa Taylor Metzger, Svetlana Shalygina and Eleanor Aldrich are consistently popular. Frequently made by artists working in paint, acrylic paint and synthetic resin paint, these artworks are unique and have attracted attention over the years. A large option in this array of texture art can prove too dominant for some spaces — a smaller piece of texture art, measuring 0.79 high and 3.5 wide, may better suit your needs.

A piece of texture art can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price for items in our inventory is $3,871, while the lowest priced sells for $127 and the highest can go for as much as $95,000.

Finding the Right Paintings for You

Painting is an art form that has spanned innumerable cultures, with artists using the medium to tell stories, explore and communicate ideas and express themselves. To bring abstract paintings, landscape paintings, still-life paintings and other original paintings into your home is to celebrate and share in the long tradition of this discipline.

When we look at paintings, particularly those that originated in the past, we learn about history, other cultures and countries of the world. Like every other work of art, paintings — whether they are contemporary creations or works that were made during the 19th century — can often help us clearly see and understand the world around us in a meaningful and interesting way.

Cave walls were the canvases for what were arguably the world’s first landscape paintings, which depict natural scenery through art. Portrait paintings and drawings, which, along with sculpture, were how someone’s appearance was recorded prior to the advent of photography, are at least as old as Ancient Egypt. In the Netherlands, landscapes were a major theme for painters as early as the 1500s. Later, artists in Greece, Rome and elsewhere created vast wall paintings to decorate stately homes, churches and tombs.

Today, creating a wall of art is a wonderful way to enhance your space, showcase beautiful pieces and tie an interior design together.

No matter your preference, whether you favor Post-Impressionist paintings, animal paintings, Surrealism, Pop art or another movement or specific period, arranging art on a blank wall allows you to evoke emotions in a room while also showing off your tastes and interests. A symmetrical wall arrangement may comprise a grid of four to six pieces or, for an odd number of works, a horizontal row. Asymmetrical arrangements, which may be small clusters of art or large, salon-style gallery walls, have a more collected and eclectic feel.

Download the 1stDibs app, which includes a handy “View on Wall” feature that allows you to see how a particular artwork will look on a particular wall, and read about how to arrange wall art. And if you’re searching for the perfect palette for your interior design project, what better place to turn than to the art world’s masters of color? 

On 1stDibs, you’ll find an expansive collection of paintings and other fine art for your home or office. Browse abstract paintings, portrait paintings, paintings by emerging artists and more today.
