modern sculptures

Modern sculptures are three-dimensional artworks created from the late 19th century onward, characterized by departure from classical traditions toward abstraction, experimentation with materials, and conceptual approaches.

The term encompasses everything from Rodin's expressive bronzes to Calder's mobiles to minimalist steel installations: The museum's collection of modern sculptures includes works by Brancusi and Moore.

Unlike traditional statuary, modern sculptures often prioritize form, space, and material over realistic representation.
