What is a plaster cast sculpture?
1 Answer

A plaster cast sculpture is a three-dimensional work of art produced by pouring liquid plaster into a mold that the artist carves. In some cases, the resulting cast is the finished artwork. Other times, the artist uses the cast as a reference for carving stone or marble. On 1stDibs, shop a large selection of sculpture art.
