Regular star polyhedra first appear in Renaissance art. A small stellated dodecahedron is depicted in a marble tarsia on the floor of [[St Mark's Basilica|St. Mark's Basilica]], Venice, Italy, dating from ca. 1430 and sometimes attributed to [[Paolo Uccello|Paulo Uccello]].

In the 20th century, artist [[M. C. Escher]]'s interest in geometric forms often led to works based on or including regular solids; ''[[Gravitation (M. C. Escher)|Gravitation]]'' is based on a small stellated dodecahedron.

A [[Dissection (geometry)|dissection]] of the great dodecahedron was used for the 1980s puzzle [[Alexander's Star]].

Norwegian artist [[Vebjørn Sand]]'s sculpture ''The Kepler Star'' is displayed near [[Oslo Airport, Gardermoen]]. The star spans 14 meters, and consists of an [[icosahedron]] and a [[dodecahedron]] inside a great stellated dodecahedron.
