What Is a Sculpture? How Did Sculpture Art Begin?
A sculpture is a three dimensional work of art created by shaping materials such as clay, stone, marble, bronze, fiberglass and wood. Throughout human history, sculptures have been made to honor gods, rulers and heroes. Today, a sculpture is found not only in museums but also at the entrances of parks, gardens, squares, schools, municipalities and institutions. In our center you can also find answers about the history of sculpture art, famous sculptures and sculpture terms.
How Is a Sculpture Made?
Sculpture making starts with deciding on the idea and measurements. Then a drawing is prepared and an original model is created with clay or a similar material. After the model is approved, a mold is taken, and depending on the chosen material, bronze casting, fiberglass production or marble carving is carried out. In the final stage, sanding, patination, painting and protective treatments are applied. The duration of each stage changes with the size and detail level of the sculpture. You can search the detailed questions on this subject in the search box.
How Much Does a Sculpture Cost? Sculpture Prices Explained
Sculpture prices are mostly determined by material, size and level of detail. Bronze sculptures cost more than fiberglass sculptures. There is also a big difference between large monument sculptures and small decorative sculptures. In custom sculptures, factors such as portrait likeness, pose and base also affect the price. If transport and installation are needed, these services are added to the total budget. For an exact price, it is enough to send the size and a photo of the sculpture.
Bronze, Fiberglass and Marble Sculpture Differences
A bronze sculpture lasts for centuries, suits outdoor use and has a heavy look. A fiberglass sculpture is light, more affordable and a practical solution for large scale productions. A marble sculpture, with the elegant texture of natural stone, is preferred especially for indoor spaces and monumental works. The right material for you depends on the place where the sculpture will stand, your budget and the expected lifespan. The question and answer center includes many questions that compare these three materials.
Monument, Bust and Relief Sculpture Questions
A monument sculpture is made to honor a person or an event in a city square, park or in front of an institution. A bust sculpture shows the head and shoulders of a person. A relief is a type of sculpture that rises from a surface and is applied to walls. We also receive frequent questions about Ataturk sculptures, corporate sculptures, park and garden sculptures and architectural sculptures. You can easily find all of these questions in the search box.
Sculpture Care, Cleaning and Restoration
Outdoor sculptures need regular maintenance. Rain, sun, dust and humidity can change the surface over time. Bronze sculpture cleaning, marble sculpture protection and fiberglass sculpture painting each require different methods. Restoration is possible for damaged, broken or faded sculptures. Because wrong cleaning products can harm a sculpture, we recommend reading the answers to the care questions.
How to Order a Sculpture?
To order a sculpture, you first need to decide what kind of sculpture you want. If you prepare a reference photo, the size and the location where the sculpture will be placed, the quotation process becomes faster. After the order is confirmed, the model work begins and production starts with your approval. Delivery and installation are available across Turkey and abroad. Questions about the order process, payment and delivery time are also answered in this center.
