"Edwards" - Found Object Assemblage Robot Sculpture, 2025
By David Lipson
Located in Denver, CO
David Lipson's "Edwards" (2025) is a striking found-object assemblage sculpture that reimagines mechanical components into a humanoid form. Standing 26.5 inches tall, this meticulously crafted piece fuses vintage industrial elements, including a repurposed electrical meter as the torso, metallic coils forming the limbs, and canisters elegantly supporting the figure. The sculpture embodies a nostalgic yet futuristic aesthetic, reminiscent of early robotics and steampunk influences.

"Ambient Flow, " Abstract Steel Sculpture
Located in Westport, CT
This mid-sized abstract contemporary sculpture by Joe Sorge is made with steel, orange dye, and wax. The warm-toned piece features a strip of steel metal that twists and turns in a flowing, spiraling movement. It casts unique shadows on its surroundings, which change in altering light. Please note that the white pedestal base pictured in the image gallery is not included.
Connecticut-based sculptor Joe Sorge studied at the School of Visual Art (SVA) in New York City. While Joe's body of work is most often made with stainless steel which he sometimes dyes to give the forms bold, solid colors, he also experiments with stone carving, genesa crystals, tiger eye alabaster and others. He works with a variety of colors, finishes, and textures, to create the final piece.
Joe's sculptures express the fluidity and tension inherent in the material he uses. His work draws on a modernist vocabulary to create abstract, often whimsical objects...

Cumulus VI Revisited - figurative, contemporary, stainless steel sculpture
Located in Bloomfield, ON
This contemporary outdoor sculpture is forged from stainless steel to resemble clouds.
In this elegant sculpture by Ania Biczysko, fine ribbons of stainless steel overlap in circles forming a cloud-like structure mounted on a tripod stand. When viewed from all sides, the sky is reflected in the luminescent quality of the highly polished steel.
"Clouds for me represent reaching out for hopes and dreams. They appear in ever-changing shapes and light however elusive and untouchable, we find them present in our everyday lives. Like our dreams, they guide us to something bigger and allude to an idea of pure beauty." Ania Biczysko

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.)
On 1stDibs, find a broad range of exceptional sculptures for sale. Browse works by your favorite creator, style, period or other attribute.
