From a very early age she was immersed in imaginative creative works such as building models of futuristic cities, paintings, sculptures and a multitude of drawings. In 1981, at the age of 17, Rebecca moved from Lake Oswego, Oregon to New York City to pursue a career in fine art and design at the Parsons School of Design. Shortly after she arrived, Rebecca began her professional artistic career assisting the renowned illustrator Antonio Lopez. At age 18, Rebecca was hired by the famed designer Halston, and began working directly with him as a fashion designer and illustrator.

In 1991, Rebecca left a prestigious modeling career to return to her true creative passion. She began creating a series of beautiful and universally appealing fine bronze sculptures and many commissioned works. In 1998, she began oil painting and studied at the New York Academy of Art, while creating oil paintings depicting the classic nude, equine, inspirational themes and portrait commissions for select art collectors.

From 2001 to the present, she continues to create bronze sculptures, drawings, and oil paintings for private art collectors.

Retro Gumball Machine Sculpture Polymer Clay Candy Mosaic Pop Art Object

By Elizabeth Art Candy

Located in FISTERRA, ES

Retro gumball machine sculpture in lightweight polymer clay, combining candy mosaic techniques, nostalgia and Pop Art aesthetics. Candy Machine Yellow belongs to Elizabeth Art Candy’s Fake Candies series, a body of sculptural works inspired by childhood memories, popular culture and the visual language of sweets, toys and collectible objects. This unique sculpture reimagines the classic coin-operated gumball machine as a contemporary Pop Art object constructed from hundreds of individually modeled candy-like elements. Unlike traditional ceramic sculpture, the work is created entirely from polymer clay, a lightweight and highly durable material that allows the artist to achieve remarkable chromatic richness while maintaining a surprisingly low overall weight. Each candy-shaped component is individually hand-modeled, colored and assembled into a dense mosaic structure that transforms the familiar silhouette of a vintage vending machine...

A collaborative project, artist Javid Jah and fabricator Alex Akbari of Qube Inc. re-designed this series from a recent public art exhibition in downtown Toronto, which was exhibited in collaboration with Roger Mooking and Wyandot artist Catherine Tammaro. The dynamic geometric form of the three pieces—Terra, Aqua and Aero (the elements of earth, water and air) is inspired by the ideas of cosmology (the study of the universe) and sacred ancestral principles. Forged from steel, light shines through the intricately detailed pattern of perforations on the surface. Each individual sculpture can also be used as a wood burning or gas fire pit...

Nude, Abstract and Figurative Sculptures for Sale

The history of sculpture as we know it is believed to have origins in Ancient Greece, while small sculptural carvings are among the most common examples of prehistoric art. In short, sculpture as a fine art has been with us forever. A powerful three-dimensional means of creative expression, sculpture has long been most frequently associated with religion — consider the limestone Great Sphinx in Giza, Egypt — while the tradition of collecting sculpture, which has also been traced back to Greece as well as to China, far precedes the emergence of museums.

Technique and materials in sculpture have changed over time. Stone sculpture, which essentially began as images carved into cave walls, is as old as human civilization itself. The majority of surviving sculpted works from ancient cultures are stone. Traditionally, this material and pottery as well as metal — bronze in particular — were among the most common materials associated with this field of visual art. Artists have long sought new ways and materials in order to make sculptures and express their ideas. Material, after all, is the vehicle through which artists express themselves, or at least work out the problems knocking around in their heads. It also allows them to push the boundaries of form, subverting our expectations and upending convention. As an influential sculptor as much as he was a revolutionary painter and printmaker, Pablo Picasso worked with everything from wire to wood to bicycle seats.

If you are a lover of art and antiques or are thinking of bringing a work of sculpture into your home for the first time, there are several details to keep in mind. As with all other works of art, think about what you like. What speaks to you? Visit local galleries and museums. Take in works of public art and art fairs when you can and find out what kind of sculpture you like. When you’ve come to a decision about a specific work, try to find out all you can about the piece, and if you’re not buying from a sculptor directly, work with an art expert to confirm the work’s authenticity.

And when you bring your sculpture home, remember: No matter how big or small your new addition is, it will make a statement in your space. Large- and even medium-sized sculptures can be heavy, so hire some professional art handlers as necessary and find a good place in your home for your piece. Whether you’re installing a towering new figurative sculpture — a colorful character by KAWS or hyperreal work by Carole A. Feuerman, perhaps — or an abstract work by Won Lee, you’ll want the sculpture to be safe from being knocked over. (You’ll find that most sculptures should be displayed at eye level, while some large busts look best from below.)

Questions About Sculptures

  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024
    No one knows for certain how many statues Donatello made. Over the years, some of his sculptures were likely destroyed intentionally or due to natural disasters like floods. We do know that he created at least 35 sculptures, including Penitent Magdalene, Saint George, Saint Mark and Zuccone. On 1stDibs, explore a large selection of sculptures.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024
    The difference between sculpting and painting is the type of work produced. Sculpting is the process of working materials into a three-dimensional work of art. Sculptors produce pieces out of wood, marble, stone, clay, found objects and many other materials. Painting is the term for applying pigments, such as oil paints or acrylics, to a surface, such as canvas fabric, to create a two-dimensional work of art. Explore a large collection of sculptures and paintings on 1stDibs.

  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024
    The difference between a sculptor and a carver is what they create. A sculptor creates works of art through a variety of processes, such as molding, carving and casting. A carver uses tools to remove material from a piece of wood or stone to create a shape that can be reproduced. Carvers make decorative objects as well as tools. Explore a large selection of sculptures and carvings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024
    Donatello's first sculpture was a marble sculpture of the biblical figure David, produced around 1408 or 1409. The piece is part of the collection of the Museo Nazionale del Bargello in Florence, Italy. Later in his career, sometime in the 1440s, Donatello depicted the subject again, this time in bronze. This sculpture is also now in the Bargello Museum. Find a large collection of sculptures on 1stDibs.
