Prints & Lithographs
Works such as Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s “Moulin Rouge: La Goulue” in the late 1880s and Roy Lichtenstein’s thought-provoking “Explosion” in the mid-1960s helped popularize lithography as a vital art form. Prints, meanwhile, make lithographs, paintings, and photos more accessible, whether it’s a postcard featuring Monet’s “Water Lilies” series or a Grant Wood “American Gothic” print on matte paper.
Sculptures, Carvings & Statues
From the Stone Age to the present, artists have used limestone, ivory, bronze, marble, and other materials to honor iconic men and women with sculptures, carvings, and statues such as “The Bust of Nefertiti” and “Christ the Redeemer.” Other artists, such as François Auguste René Rodin, have forged creations that explore timeless themes like the meaning of life with “The Thinker,” while others still, including Pablo Picasso, have completely reimagined the art form with works like “Guitar.”
Paintings
Paintings are how artists express faith, anger, joy, sorrow, and other emotions, as Michelangelo’s brushstrokes on the Sistine Chapel’s ceiling and Jackson Pollack’s wild-eyed splashes on canvas demonstrate. Paintings also connect with viewers on a deep, personal level, whether their tastes lean toward cubism, surrealism, impressionism, modernism, or something that defies categorization, such as a Marc Chagall painting.
Pottery & Ceramics
Pottery and ceramics have long been popular with auction buyers, with names like Wedgewood, Rookwood, Earthenware, and Staffordshire generating excitement. Pottery and ceramics can be beautiful, whimsical, durable, delicate, elegant, and sophisticated while simultaneously serving a practical function, be it a vase, flowerpot, saucer, plate, jar, stein, figurine, or a dresser drawer knob.
Posters
Posters have the power to evoke nostalgia, reverence, pride, happiness, and other feelings, thus providing great value to the owner. They can also instantly inform others about things we hold dear, such as how a circus poster demonstrates a love for a bygone era, a LeBron James poster displays a devotion to hoops culture, or a poster of the 1967 Woodstock Festival exhibits a passion for music and freedom.
Glass Art
The manipulation of glass into objects of all shapes and sizes is an incredibly fascinating fine art, whether the result is an art nouveau piece boasting mesmerizing floral patterns or a stained glass window depicting biblical events through light and stunning colors. From the early Egyptians to glassblowers today, artists have used glass as a medium to craft paperweights, jewelry, ornaments, neon signs, tableware, and other glass art creations that make living more enriching.
