Art has the remarkable ability to transform any space, adding a touch of elegance and personality. However, finding work that fit within a limited budget can often be a challenging task. That's why we have curated a list of the five best artworks under £5,000 that combine affordability with stunning artistic expression. From Salvador Dali to Keith Haring, this collection offers something for every art lover, proving that owning remarkable original pieces doesn't have to be a luxury reserved for the wealthy.

£3,750
Why is this a good investment?
One of our most sought after lithographs, this piece is a fine example of Dali's work. It's a wonderfully affordable way of owning an original hand-signed and limited edition piece by the master. The work is in stunning condition, and if like me, you love Barcelona, it's a must-have!
Keith Haring - Animation Cells collection, 1991

Framed: 39 x 44 cm each
£2,025 each
A set of Keith Haring's animation cells are now available at Hidden! These fabulous works were produced for a cartoon broadcast in the iconic series Sesame Street.
Why should I buy this?
Haring once said that “children are colour-blind and still free of all the complications, greed and hatred that will slowly be instilled in them through life". He would've thoroughly appreciated his imagery being used in a series famous for its inclusivity and kindness. Although created after his death, these animations were designed with the close collaboration of the Keith Haring Foundation and are a wonderful illustration of his artistic philosophy.
Henry Moore - Reclining Figure: Interior Setting I, 1977
Signed and numbered in pencil
Lithograph in colours
Sheet: 43 x 57 cm
Edition of 75 plus 10 AP
£3,750
Why is this a good investment?
Although best known for his iconic sculptures, Moore was also one of the most important and devoted printmakers to emerge in Britain during the 20th century. His work on paper is as rich and multifaceted as his three-dimensional output, and is defined by many of the same themes. This piece is from an edition of just 75 and is typical of his style - a must-have.
Pablo Picasso - Portrait of a Lady, after Lucas Cranach the Younger, 1962
Linocut in colours.
Sheet: 32 x 39cm.
£2,925
Why should I buy this?
Between 1958 and 1961 Picasso made many linocuts, a process that he found hugely stimulating. In doing so he invented the ‘reduction’ method, progressively cutting the same linoleum block for each new colour, making it impossible to take any further prints from the original block. In 1962, in collaboration with Picasso and Galerie Louise Leiris, new linoleum plates were made at 42% of the original size, and it was from these that this print was published. A wonderful, iconic Picasso for a fantastic price.
Tracey Emin - The Room Is Closed, 2013
Signed, dated, titled and numbered in pencil
Etching in colours on wove
Sheet: 36 x 38 cm
Edition of 200
£2,825
Why should I buy this?
Emin is considered one of the most prominent British artists of the contemprary art world. As a result, her work is greatly sought after and increasing in value. This piece is from a relatively low edition size and hand-signed. This piece is a fabulous opportunity to own an original, hand-signed and limited-edition Emin for under £5,000.
