abstract sculptures

Formless three-dimensional art

Abstract sculptures are three-dimensional artworks that don't represent recognizable objects, figures, or scenes from the physical world.

Instead, they explore form, shape, texture, and spatial relationships for their own sake: The plaza features an abstract sculpture of interlocking steel curves.

The term distinguishes such works from figurative or representational sculpture.
