Black And White Photos For Sale on 1stDibs

On 1stDibs, there are several options of black and white photos available for sale. There are many Contemporary, Modern and Abstract versions of these works for sale. There are many variations of these items available, from those made as long ago as the 18th Century to those made as recently as the 21st Century. Black and white photos available on 1stDibs span a range of colors that includes black, gray, beige, brown and more. Many versions of these artworks are appealing in their rich colors and composition, but Ian Sanderson, Koray Erkaya, Fred McDarrah, Hunter Gatti and Giacomo Brunelli produced especially popular works that are worth a look. Each of these unique pieces was handmade with extraordinary care, with artists most often working in paper, photographic paper and pigment print. Not every interior allows for large iterations of these items, so small black and white photos measuring 2 inches across are available.

How Much are Black And White Photos?

Black and white photos can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price for items in our inventory is $1,200, while the lowest priced sells for $2 and the highest can go for as much as $104,400.

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.

    The artist known for the black-and-white optical illusion art called Movement in Squares is Bridget Riley. Riley states that she draws inspiration for her spectacular abstractions expressed in paintings and prints largely from nature, which she defines as a “dynamism of visual forces — an event rather than an appearance.” The British artist produced her iconic piece, Movement in Squares, in 1961. Find a wide range of Bridget Riley art on 1stDibs.
