Find the Right Style and Subject Matter

Within art, you can find many different movements. This applies to sculptures, and even more specifically, bronze sculptures. Artists can make sculptures with bonded bronze or molten bronze, and this is a factor you should consider as a buyer. Molten bronze will last for a long time and is generally of better quality than bonded bronze.

Look for Quality

Somewhat similar to the last point, consider this: Is the sculpture made well? There are various methods of creating bronze statues, and they can vary in quality. On top of this, where are you buying the sculpture? Sometimes, sculptures can be damaged or dirty, and this is something you should take into consideration before purchasing anything.

Think About Price

Also relating to quality, what are the sculptures priced? Quality art is more expensive than what you might find at the flea market. Another critical aspect you need to consider is that sculptures are an investment. Yes, you want them to add to the feel of your home, but you should also ask whether the piece will grow in value. A very limited-edition sculpture will make a better addition to your home than one that anyone can purchase.

Does It Fit in Your Home?

Will the sculpture fit in your home? Does it have a place, or is it just sitting off in a corner somewhere? Before purchasing anything, you should think of where it will fit in your home. For example, you should only buy an intricate bronze sculpture if you have somewhere to put it where its presence is known and not forgotten.

Make Sure It Is Safe

Another point to consider is whether the sculpture will be safe in your home. If you have a cramped space with children and pets running around, what is the chance they bump into it and break it? Similarly, will it stay clean where you put it, or will it become dusty and stained? These are considerations you need to make before purchasing any art.

Displaying artwork so it can be truly appreciated is one of the best aspects of owning art, but it can also be one of the most difficult, especially with sculptures.

Unlike two-dimensional artwork, sculptures from artists like Nano Lopez, Romero Britto, or Peter Max require more than just the perfect wall for display. Finding the right place to optimally showcase these multi-dimensional works might seem difficult at first, but if you use these tips, you’ll be displaying sculptures like a pro in no time.

Sculptures: What Room and Where

Since sculpture is a three-dimensional art form, these works should be viewable from multiple angles. Think of them like viewing theatre in the round, rather than theatre on a standard proscenium stage.

Placing them in the center of the living room might seem like the easy answer, but if doing so obstructs the room’s traffic flow, you may want to choose a different spot. The last thing you want to do is start thinking of your new artwork as a frustrating obstruction.

Generally, displaying at eye level is recommended for optimal viewing. These eye lines may help determine where in the room a sculpture can go without interfering with the room’s functionality.

Shelves are an ideal spot, such as recessed spaces in walls or within a bookcase. Side tables in bedrooms and living rooms are also great locations, as they are typically out of the way. Lamps on these tables can then serve a dual purpose—lighting the room and lighting the artwork.

Lighting the Way

Of course, as with other works of art, lighting plays a big role in displaying sculptures. Too much light will wash out the details, while not enough hides them. Sculptures should be well-lit by diffused light sources, which can include daylight from windows.

However, avoid these situations when possible:

• Light directly below: Remember when, as a child, you would shine a flashlight underneath your face to scare someone? Stay away from this horror movie look for your art.
• Light directly behind: If light is shining from behind, it washes everything out and makes viewing difficult.
• Spotlights: Sure, you want the artwork to be the star, but a single, dramatic light will hide its intricate features in equally dramatic shadows.

There are some exceptions, of course. Sculptures made of transparent materials are perfect candidates for a lighted pedestal, which adds a new element to their presentation.

Picking a Pedestal

Smaller sculptures may be ideal on shelves and tables, but a larger work will benefit from a pedestal. Choose a material for the pedestal that will not look out of place in the room in question. Additionally, whether it’s small or large, the pedestal should not draw attention away from the sculpture, but instead, it should blend in with the rest of the room.

When deciding on the location for a large sculpture and/or its pedestal, determine if its placement would hinder or block any walking paths. Most importantly, a pedestal should be sturdy enough to hold the sculpture.

Keep these tips in mind when displaying sculptures and your works will certainly add a new dynamic to your home or office.
