A three-dimensional sculpture is also called a "relief" when it is attached to a background surface, or simply a "sculpture" when it stands freely. Sculptures can be made from various materials such as stone, metal, wood, or clay, and they can represent realistic forms or abstract designs. Unlike two-dimensional art, three-dimensional sculptures occupy physical space and can be viewed from multiple angles.
The term for carved works of sculpture is "relief sculpture" when the figures are raised from a flat background, or simply "sculpture" when referring to three-dimensional carved works in various forms. Carvings can be made from materials like stone, wood, or ivory, and they can be full-round (freestanding) or in relief.
People may create a sculpture for various reasons, including artistic expression, to convey emotions or messages, to commemorate significant events or individuals, and to explore materials and techniques in three-dimensional art. Sculptures can also serve functional purposes, such as in architecture or public spaces, enhancing the environment. Additionally, creating a sculpture can be a means of personal exploration or cultural storytelling.
Subtractive sculpture is a technique where material is removed from a solid block to create a finished artwork, typically using tools such as chisels or saws. This process involves carving away excess material, often from stone, wood, or other substances, to reveal the desired form or figure. The term contrasts with additive sculpture, where material is added to build up the sculpture. Famous examples of subtractive sculpture include works by Michelangelo and classical Greek sculptures.

Claes Oldenburg's largest sculpture is "The Binoculars," created in collaboration with Coosje van Bruggen. Installed in 1991 in Los Angeles, California, this monumental piece stands 75 feet tall and resembles a pair of oversized binoculars, showcasing Oldenburg's signature style of transforming everyday objects into large-scale art. The sculpture not only serves as a whimsical focal point but also reflects Oldenburg's exploration of scale and perception.
