Sculpture, a three-dimensional ancient and richly diverse art form, is one of humanity's most fundamental and universal expressions. From the first human representations like the Venus of Willendorf to the monumental works of the Māori on Easter Island, sculpture has always held a central place in art history.
Traditionally, sculpture is divided into two main categories: freestanding works and reliefs often integrated into architecture. In antiquity, Greek and Roman sculptures symbolized human and divine perfection. Later, medieval art incorporated sculpture into religious architecture, as seen in the ornate sculptures of Gothic cathedrals.
The Renaissance marked a true revolution in sculpture, reviving classical ideals and introducing unprecedented anatomical realism. Masterpieces like Michelangelo's David epitomize this era, where expressiveness and anatomical precision became central.
The 20th century saw a break from classical conventions. Auguste Rodin, for instance, introduced a more emotional and expressive approach. This period also saw the emergence of avant-garde movements that redefined sculpture: Cubism with Pablo Picasso, abstraction with Constantin Brancusi, and Dadaism with Marcel Duchamp, who revolutionized art by introducing the concept of the "ready-made." From the 1960s onwards, minimalism, with artists like Donald Judd, reshaped the boundaries of sculpture by simplifying forms and focusing on space.
Today, contemporary sculpture is a playground for innovation, with artists experimenting with various materials and approaches. The collection we present reflects this diversity, featuring works in bronze, marble, glass, and more.
