Being an art collector is not an easy job. You have to do a lot of research to ensure that the pieces you collect are not only beautiful but also create a well-rounded and diverse collection. Of course, going out of your way to find different pieces that evoke different feelings is easier said than done. Read on to learn why sculptures are essential to art collections.
It Shows a Multifaceted Interest
Every item in your home reflects who you are and what types of art interest you. A standard art collection will give off good impressions to guests, but it can leave them feeling that your artistic interests are a little one-note. By adding some sculptures, you’re highlighting that you are multifaceted. In addition to sculptures, consider poetry, antiques, and other multimedia displays you can bring to your collection.
Showcases Different Techniques and Styles
As with most art movements, there are seemingly infinite sculpture techniques and styles—and each is defined by its country of origin. For example, hot casting bronze is one of the most historical sculpting methods ever used and can be traced back to the Egyptians, the Chinese, and most notably, the Greeks. Sculptures allow you to show off these techniques and put your art history on display for all to see.
Brings Diversity to Your Collection
Traditional paintings can vary in subject matter, but they’re all generally restricted by the square or rectangular canvas. A room full of these one or two shapes can look somewhat dull if that’s all there is to draw the eye. Alternatively, sculptures vary in size, shape, subject, and material, so any piece you have can offer the visual intrigue that may be lacking in your collection.
Sculptures are essential to art collections for all the above reasons, but also because art is art and you should want to explore as many aspects of it as possible. I don’t know of anyone who wants to listen to one kind of song over and over, so why have only one medium or subject matter in your art collection? To help you diversify your collection, consider my bronze bulldog statue for sale. Here at Jesse Nusbaum Art, I have a variety of sculptures that would make the perfect addition to your home!
