Today, book presses are a popular home decor choice for collectors and avid book readers alike. Shop a selection of vintage book presses on 1stDibs.
- What is the use of mandala art?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 12, 2024The use of mandala art is often spiritual.

People who produce mandalas often find the act to be meditative and calming. On 1stDibs, find a variety of fine art from some of the world's top galleries and dealers.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022An easel is an upright support used for displaying or creating art.

- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 24, 2024Frank Stella actually used more than one element of art. A proponent of Minimalism and non-representational abstraction, Stella was a painter, printmaker and sculptor. Considering paintings on canvas as objects in their own right, like sculptures, rather than representations, he rejected certain formal conventions, eschewing sketches and often using nontraditional materials, like house paint. Over the course of his career, his pieces became more and more three-dimensional, straddling the line between painting and sculpture. In the mid-1960s, Stella started exploring printmaking, initially working with Kenneth Tyler of Gemini G.E.L. and later installing printing equipment in his own studio. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of Frank Stella art.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 16, 2024Alexander Calder used many of the elements of art when producing his works. The American sculptor is known as the father of the mobile, a moving artwork composed of delicately balanced sculptural forms suspended from the ceiling. These kinetic pieces use color, shape and space to convey a sense of unity, and the form of the art allows it to interact with its environment. Find a variety of Alexander Calder art on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Louise Nevelson is best known for her work creating wooden structures and sculptures. However, she also explored using plexiglass, aluminum and steel in her art.

Shop a selection of Louise Nevelson pieces from some of the world’s top art dealers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 13, 2024The dots that Lichtenstein used in his art were called Ben-Day dots.

On 1stDibs, find a wide range of Roy Lichtenstein art.
