What is sculpture in the round?Show answer
Sculpture in the round is free-standing and detached from any background, so it can be seen and walked around from all sides. This is fully three-dimensional work with no single fixed viewpoint: the viewer's movement around it is part of the experience, and the silhouette and relationships of the forms change as you move. Free-standing statues and figures in public spaces are typical in-the-round work. It is the most fully three-dimensional type, engaging real space all around the form.
