Find Contemporary versions now, or shop for Contemporary creations for a more modern example of these cherished works.

Adding an abstract expressionist ink to a room that is mostly decorated in warm neutral tones can yield a welcome change — find a piece on 1stDibs that incorporates elements of gray, beige, black, blue and more. Finding an appealing abstract expressionist ink — no matter the origin — is easy, but Mila Akopova, Francisco Nicolás, Sandra Detourbet, Paul Kaplan and Tracey Adams each produced popular versions that are worth a look. Frequently made by artists working in ink, paper and paint, these artworks are unique and have attracted attention over the years.
