There are many Surrealist, contemporary and modern versions of these works for sale. Making the right choice when shopping for a circus sideshow may mean carefully reviewing examples of this item dating from different eras — you can find an early iteration of this piece from the 19th Century and a newer version made as recently as the 21st Century. If you’re looking to add a circus sideshow to create new energy in an otherwise neutral space in your home, you can find a work on 1stDibs that features elements of beige, black, brown, gray and more. Creating a circus sideshow has been a part of the legacy of many artists, but those crafted by FPA Francis Pavy Artist, Marie Roberts, Honoré Daumier and Amy Touchette are consistently popular.
