Sculpture

Sculpture is any three-dimensional form created as an artistic expression. Sculpture is primarily concerned with space: occupying it, relating to it, and influencing the perception of it.

Contemporary materials

In his late writings, Joan Miró even proposed that some day sculptures might be made of gases; see gas sculpture.
