Outdoor sculptures

Enhancing a garden, balcony, or veranda with a work of art remains an often-overlooked gesture, despite offering a creative territory just as rich as interior spaces. Whether through sculpture or artworks protected within suitable frames, outdoor art brings a visual presence that can be enjoyed at a glance from the comfort of home.

Outdoor art is synonymous with huge artwork. The masters of this movement are undoubtedly Calder with his famous mobiles and Marino di Teana who created iconically recognizable bronzes. César Baldaccini, Niki de Saint Phalle and her colorful Nanas, Richard Orlinski's vibrantly colored animals are big names in the movement among many others...

Outdoor art has always played an extremely important role in the history of art. From prehistoric paintings and ancient statues, to Renaissance gardens and posters by Toulouse-Lautrec in the Belle Époque, art has always been a key feature of outdoor spaces - take street art or park sculpture for example!

For those wishing to begin their own outdoor collection, there is no shortage of suitable materials and mediums. Bronze, resin, wood, and stone are enduring choices for sculpture, while paintings and editions protected by appropriate framing can be perfectly displayed in semi-outdoor spaces such as terraces and verandas.
