Art Posters

Art poster auctions are very popular.  Owning great pieces of art has gotten easier.  A properly framed art poster can be as nice as owning an original painting and it is far less expensive.
I have found many different art styles in art poster auctions.  The most expensive art poster in the abstract style sold recently on eBay was a 1959 Picasso entitled Les Menines.  The poster sold for $560.00.
There was an original and authentic art poster auction recently in the art deco style that caught my eye.  The poster was from 1961 and was for Breakfast at Tiffany.  The poster sold for over three thousand dollars.
World’s Fair art poster auctions seem to do very well.  I saw an auction for the 1939 New York World’s Fair that sold for more than fifteen hundred dollars.  There was another art poster auction for the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair that went for just under fifteen hundred dollars.

In the Asian art poster auction market, there seems to be some really odd things.  I found a poster that depicted McDonald’s hamburgers invading Japan.  The poster got fourteen bids from six different people and it closed at four hundred fifty five dollars.
In the category of Impressionist art poster auctions, I found one for the 2006 Jazz Festival in New Orleans that sold for over four hundred dollars.  It was done by a Cajun artist named James Michalopulos and featured Fats Domino.  The colors in the poster were brilliant.

I found that the category of Modern art posters seems to get the most auction listings.  There is one art poster that keeps being re-listed because it just doesn’t sell.  The poster is from the Elvis movie Love Me Tender.  Apparently the owner of this poster has determined that it is worth one thousand dollars and will not take less than that.  He hasn’t sold it yet, but I wish him luck.
There were another Modern art poster auctions that really did well as far as I could tell.  They were Greyhound travel posters.  There were a couple of art poster auctions that sold recently.  They were both created in the 1950’s and both of the posters sold for around three hundred dollars each.
After researching so many art poster auctions, I have come to the conclusion that my parents and grandparents should have collected every piece of advertising they ever came across.  They would be worth a small fortune by now!
The Santé Fe Railroad as a subject is prominently sold in art poster auctions.  These must be highly collectable because they generate a lot of bids.  If the art poster auction is for an old original poster of the Santé Fe Railroad, it will fetch upwards of four hundred dollars.

I found an art poster auction that was listed by the artist himself.  He made a black ink drawing for the Pearl Jam concert in Rome in 1996.  This original drawing was what the poster was made from.
Pop art poster auctions cover a lot of different topics.  One of my favorites was a 7-up soda advertisement from 1970 that featured The Beatles’ Yellow Submarine.  The item did not sell, but it was fun to look at.
In the style of Realism, art poster auctions abound.  I found one that was an advertisement for United Airlines and depicted the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.  This poster sold for over one hundred fifty dollars.
The most interesting art poster auctions I found were for rock concerts.  I liked the one listed for at 1956 Rolling Stones concert and there was another one for a Grateful Dead concert in Hawaii.  They sold for a combined total of over seven thousand dollars.  The interest in these art poster auctions was overwhelming.
Advertising seems to be a big theme in the art poster auctions that I looked at.  I found advertisements for just about everything.  I liked the poster for Russian beer that was created in the late 1920’s.  It would look fantastic framed in my neighborhood bar.  The buyer of this particular poster bought it for $475.00.

Concert posters are fun to look through.  Art poster auctions feature a lot of posters for concerts.  I found one that was made by Jim Pollock for a Phish concert in 2000 in Hartford.  I liked it, but I am not a fan of Phish and the three hundred dollars that it went for seemed a little pricey to me.

Kitchen Wall ART

The kitchen is central in homes today and it should provide inspiration to those working in it. To serve this purpose the kitchen should be decorated to give the occupants a sense of comfort and pleasantness. Ways in which a kitchen can be decorated are many but the most popular is wall art. Themes such as Tuscan style, modern, and contemporary, and country styles are some of the more trendy approaches to kitchen wall art.

The Tuscan style kitchen wall art makes use of warm and rich colors like deep reds and purples, oranges and olive greens. Murals that feature the rolling hills of the Tuscan countryside, paintings depicting the rich wines and grapes of the area and illustrations of the stunning vineyards of northern Italy are a few ideas of what this elegant kitchen wall art style would entail. This art style gives the ambience of richness and warmth.

Modern and contemporary art has an expansive variety of wall art; abstract art, photography, and pop are just some of the many ideas you can incorporate into your kitchen wall art. Some like to have a theme of black and white when decorating their kitchen walls or on the other hand a striking multicolored collage. This style of kitchen wall art is futuristic and innovative and one can let their imagination run wild when choosing this style of art.

In comparison to the modern and contemporary style, the country style is more rustic and quaint. Depictions of fresh fruits and vegetables, rustic signs, roosters and other barnyard animals are the common features of country style art. No rules govern this type of decoration; one simply has to decorate with the feeling of wanting to create a warm and cozy feeling in the kitchen; it is open to any definition that one would have of “country”. The end result of such a kitchen wall art is a pleasant and inviting mood, a charming and cozy country kitchen.

Other appealing themes of kitchen wall art include food and cuisine art, alcohol art, pasta art, international cuisine art, herbs and spices, and fruits and vegetables. Given all these various styles making a choice seems difficult but in selecting from them, one should pick the one that best portrays you and the one that will inspire you to work happily and creatively in the kitchen. All the time spent decorating will well be worth it in the end because being in the kitchen will be enjoyable indeed.

Iron Wall ART

The walls of your home can speak; they portray your tastes and your way of life. But most importantly they surround you in your everyday life and as such, should be beautiful and celebratory of your life. They should be made stunning as a testament to your life. In choosing iron wall art to decorate your space, it provides an ambience of elegance and sophistication.
With iron wall art, there is room to play around with shapes, textures, colors and various other details to perfectly suite oneself. You can try out different looks and ideas, so let your imagination run wild. Wrought iron wall grilles, wall plaques and wrought iron wall hangings are examples of iron wall art fixtures and decorations. Most would not think of iron wall art when decorating their houses but the result is far greater than what you can imagine.

Most iron wall art features and plaques are made with wrought iron due to its hardy nature. Though many expect iron wall art to look stiff and foreboding, such wall art features are extremely moldable, therefore making the crafting of even the most intricate patterns for wall art a breeze. Using iron instead of another metal makes your wall art extremely durable so they can either be on the insides of your house or the outsides as they are constructed to not stain for bad weather.
Fine works of iron wall art can do wonders in framing, highlighting and complimenting other fixtures in the room. For example a grand fireplace can be made even more impressive if the vertical space surrounding the hearth id embellished with fine works of iron wall art. Bare walls can be embellished with stylish wall hangings.  Three-dimensional works of fine wall art can also be placed on both sides of a doorway to give it a framed effect.
Iron wall art was also used in ancient times due to its hardiness and attractiveness. Therefore if your home is constructed with accordance to a more elegant and old fashioned theme, iron wall art would be extremely recommendable in order to give your home the expert finish that only wall art can give.
The other great aspect of iron wall art is its flexibility. It can blend in with any type of furniture and can be incorporated into any style with ease. Wrought iron wall décor compliments any room style and décor. It is very striking and it leaves a lasting impression.

Glass Wall ART

Glass wall art is a wonderful way to add colour, style or vibrancy to a home or business. Better still, you might even be


 able to make a statement about your tastes and attitude with the type of glass wall art you select.

These come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colour and should be carefully considered before purchasing them. Glass wall art, similar to any other piece of art should be considered depending on where they will be placed. A modern, contemporary home or business premise would call for pieces that are equally modern and stylish. They can be of simple styles and lines and feature complimenting colours. More elaborate designs in a wide spectrum of colours are also available and these should be considered by careful analysis of factors such as the colour of walls, lighting, layout of the space etc. Whatever the design of the space and whatever the style, glass wall art will no doubt prove to be an excellent piece of attraction.

The type of glass wall art is only limited by what one can do with glass. As such these pieces can be flat designs that can be hung on walls and will usually come with or without a frame. Similar designs include three dimensional ones such as plates and shields featuring abstract designs. These can be placed at various points of the wall, such as a in a straight line or, haphazardly for a casual look. Other types of glass wall art include cylindrical designs, baubles and woven styles.  Pieces made out of various types of mosaic tiles are also a hot favourite as they feature stunning designs and come in exciting colours that can leave a person with the tough choice of what to pick over another.

Because glass wall art is fragile, the need for care when handling them, though obvious, must be stressed. This is not only because damaged glass wall art can cause injury but also because they lose their value significantly when damaged. As such care must be taken when transporting glass wall art, in the general handling of such items and in their display.
Glass wall art is available throughout the country both at department stores and at specialist art galleries and studios. Glass wall art available for purchase at department stores are most often mass produced and low in aesthetic value. However exclusive glass wall art available at high end stores, galleries and studios while being expensive are items worth owning and coveting.

Garden wall Art

Having an exquisite landscape without garden wall art is as worthless as a Romeo without his Juliet. Paying careful attention to detail has always been the key factor of many an artist’s success. Therefore strive to enhance the natural beauty of the external area of your garden by weaving garden wall art in to its silken chemise. Some professional garden designers say that plants are the key factor that completes a garden design. Others on the other hand believe that bolder garden features such as artificial fountains or sculptures provide the crowning finish for any landscape. Imagine all this surrounded by bare walls that reflect no personality whatsoever. Don’t leave your garden design thirsting for more once completion.

Garden wall art refers to any pattern that is engraved or painted on to your garden wall. Yes, wall art does not only refer to paintings. Garden wall art especially promotes intricate metal, wood, concrete, clay or marble wall sculpturing in order to give the garden design a more refined touch.  Many garden designers actually build the whole garden design around the chosen wall art. Every artist needs a staring point, and garden designing is no exception. Therefore choosing a type of garden wall art that best reflects ones preference and personality is recommended because it is always easier to build around something that you love. 

An interesting advantage of garden wall art is that you do not always require a professional to implement it. For more basic types of wall art, all you might need is a hammer, a screw and a big imagination. You can decorate your garden walls with a clay figurine that you are partial to if it suits you and your garden. You can also put up attractive grills on your walls to enable plants to grow along it in order to give it a more naturalistic effect.  Using a garden plaque in the center of a vine covered wall is also an extremely attractive garden wall art idea that was used in early Britain.
Therefore it is important for you to understand that your garden wall art does not have to be a stereotype. Go crazy with the idea. Do what you want. Let your walls reflect your inner personality. After all, there’s no point in having an attractive garden if you haven’t left your mark in it. Wall art unlike other garden features, is flexible enough to cover all tastes and styles.
