Sculpture is a 3d form of art and one that can be done with a range of different techniques and materials. From metal like this bronze wildlife sculpture https://www.gillparker.com/wildlife-limited-edition-bronze-sculptures-to-buy/ to clay, to sculptures that are made from discarded rubbish to become a beautiful and unique work of art – the best well known person who does this is the German Conceptual artist HA Schult.
Sculpture, like other art, can also make you think about something in a different way and inspire you – as well as being something that you enjoy having in your home of course. When you are choosing a sculpture for your home, here are a few tips to help you get the perfect piece…
Have a Budget – The first thing of course when it comes to choosing a sculpture to put in your home, is to decide what you can afford to spend on one. Before you go and start looking around, deciding what your budget is first of all will help you to decide where to shop for your sculpture.
From independent art galleries, art and crafts shows and the internet, have a look around and see what is on that could be a good place to find a sculpture for your home that is within your budget.
Buy What Appeals to You – The mistake that many people make when they are buying art for their home is trying to buy it purely as an investment and hoping that it will appreciate in value. It is really hard to know what is going to make you money in the long term, and when it comes to art for your home, you want something that you find joy in living with rather than something that you have bought solely to make money on in the future.
Think About the Space in Your Home Where It Will Go – Another important thing to consider is the space where your sculpture will be. You want it to enhance your home, but you don’t want a piece that will get lost or dominate it, so get a good idea of the size of sculpture that you are after and have a place in mind for it before you buy.
