At Saatchi Art, sculpture comes to life with works from emerging and established contemporary artists around the world.

These artworks exemplify the transformative power of sculpture, blending traditional techniques with modern aesthetics.
Sculpture is one of the oldest art forms, with roots tracing back to ancient civilizations. These objects have existed for thousands of years, evolving with each cultural shift. Techniques like carving, modeling, and casting have evolved over the centuries, allowing sculptors to work with a diverse range of materials, from marble and stone to wood and bronze. Improved casting methods during the Renaissance and the 18th century have been particularly transformative in how sculptures are created. In the 20th century, sculpture embraced more abstract expressions, as seen in works emphasizing shape and movement over representation. Understanding these pivotal moments is important for an appreciation of the sculptural arts. Saatchi Art's collection showcases traditional styles and modern art sculptures, offering pieces perfect for homes, gardens, or public spaces.
