abstract sculpture
Shapeless three-dimensional art
Abstract sculpture is three-dimensional art that doesn't represent recognizable objects or figures from the physical world.
Instead of depicting a person or animal, abstract sculpture emphasizes form, texture, material, and spatial relationships: The plaza features an abstract sculpture of curved steel plates.
The term distinguishes such works from figurative or representational sculpture.
