sculpture (visual work)
- Works of art in which images and forms are produced in relief, in intaglio, or in the round.

It is typically used to refer to large or medium-sized objects made of stone, wood, bronze, or another metal. Small objects are typically referred to as "carvings." As works become more diffused in space or time, or less tangible, use specific terms, such as "mail art" or "environmental art."
