metal sculptures

Cast artistic figures

Metal sculptures are three-dimensional artworks made from metal—bronze, steel, iron, copper, aluminum, or found metal objects.

The term covers everything from classical bronze statues to welded abstract forms to assemblages of scrap metal.

The plaza features a towering metal sculpture by Richard Serra.

Metal sculptures may be cast, forged, welded, or fabricated from sheet metal.
