’80s Art Picks: Sophisticated Style
A suit and tie. Red lipstick. A city skyline. Sophisticated imagery was everywhere in the ’80s, not only because it reflected key elements of the era’s yuppie culture, but because it evolved along with 1980s Deco style. In fact, when shopping for ’80s art, you just might find that you’re able to mix and match works of varying styles when they all share a chic feel. ’80s Deco prints, cosmetic ads and certain Neon Noir posters can all coexist in harmony. In our second edition of ’80s Art Picks, we focus on the finer things in life. Enjoy!

The focus: interesting, affordable pieces currently for sale. I love heading to Goodwill and other thrift stores for my ’80s art finds, but sometimes it’s nice to look for exactly what you want online and order the artwork of your dreams with the click of a few keys. Today’s theme is abstract pastel art from the 1980s.

From a post dedicated to the pink and purple Deco-modern interiors of the 1982 film Tootsie to an original photo shoot featuring a variety of 1980s ceramics, this week’s posts will offer a richly layered approach to pastel design. Today we’ve put together a sneak peek of things to come, as well as pulled images from past Mirror80 posts that celebrate the style at hand. Read on for details…
