Gene Grant

On 1stDibs, you can find the most appropriate gene grant for your needs in our varied inventory. You can easily find an example made in the modern style, while we also have 3 modern versions to choose from as well. If you’re looking for a gene grant 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 20th Century. If you’re looking to add a gene grant 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, black, gold and more. There have been many interesting gene grant examples over the years, but those made by Stanley Boxer, Vance Kirkland, Ira Moskowitz, Sid Chafetz and Thomas Downing are often thought to be among the most thought-provoking. These artworks were handmade with extraordinary care, with artists most often working in paint, paper and watercolor.

The price for a gene grant in our collection starts at $195 and tops out at $28,000 with the average selling for $2,250.

When paired with the perfect frame, the right antique and vintage paintings and other wall decorations can either subtly showcase your personality or steal the show altogether. 

The earliest paintings were created on the walls of caves, proving even our ancient ancestors knew that striking artwork is meant to be on display. Cave paintings on an Indonesian island are reportedly older than the earliest cave art in Spain and France, and the figurative paintings back then were produced with inorganic pigments like iron oxide.

Later, the people of Ancient Greece — who learned about art from the Egyptians before them — conceived panel paintings of wax and tempera that were collected and publicly displayed. In the centuries that followed, artists would be commissioned to create large-scale wall murals and frescoed ceilings in sprawling European palaces and in the homes of the aristocracy.

Today, 1stDibs makes it easy for you to celebrate this rich history in your own home. Our collection of paintings includes Art Deco paintings, baroque art and a broad range of other categories. Search by material, period or other attributes to find the right fit — browse an array of 19th century landscape paintings in giltwood frames or abstract oil paintings and portraits made during the 1950s and ‘60s.

An understated contemporary work can complement your space’s color palette without drawing the focus away from the other pivotal design choices you’ve made over the years. Roy Lichtenstein’s Pop art, on the other hand, demands attention with its array of vibrant hues and subjects inspired by popular culture. 

Whether you aim to create a gallery in your home or build a single, stunning focal point, you can find what you’re looking for in an extensive inventory of paintings on 1stDibs.
