Sculpture, at its best, illuminates abstract forms into a three dimensionality. Throughout history, the function of great sculptural works were religious and political and the monumental pieces were the cousins of grand architectures made to elicit power and influence. Today, as all artforms continue to evolve with advancements in technology, and access to new materials and tools becomes more abundant, we see marvelous displays of lifelike and futuristic totems. The sculptural works collected below are examples of public art, erected to be more accessible to a greater audience as well as with materials tied to our everyday experience. From marbled etched with robot arms or pink buffalos made of bubble gum, the point of these works is to illustrate a message of tangibility and whimsy. They aim to be awe-inspiring and to reimagine the spaces in which they are erected.#GoldAgainstViolence #DirtyCorner #Versailles #AnishKapoor @dirty_corner
