Sculpture

Sculpture is one of the oldest expressions of human artistic activity. Alongside painting, which first appeared in the Paleolithic on the walls of caves, sculpture has accompanied humanity for thousands of years as a way of depicting gods, forces of nature, people, and animals. From the earliest times, humans carved in stone, clay, and bone. Later came bronze, which, though invented relatively late, became firmly established as a canonical sculptural material.
From a collector’s perspective, sculpture offers the same advantages as painting. It is a work of art whose number is limited. It is durable. It is beautiful. It can be functional, symbolic, or purely decorative. And if it bears a great name, or originates from a specific epoch or region, it also acquires strong investment value. The same principle applies here: what is old and of quality can only grow in worth. What exists today from the past is all that will ever exist. The market is shrinking, museums continue to acquire, and private collections increase in value.
