	Sculpture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A sculpture a is three-dimensional, man-made object selected for special recognition as art, although some sculpture is considered an artistic expression whether or not it was ever intended as such; one example is Marcel Duchamp's so-called "ready-mades": common objects such as a shovel or a coat rack that Duchamp signed and presented as art.
		Since a sculpture is three-dimensional, it is primarily concerned with space: occupying it, relating to it, and altering one's perception of it.
		High forms of sculpture and large public works were often produced in expensive durable materials, primarily bronze and stone such as marble, limestone, porphyry, and granite.

	Carving Stone
		In sedimentary, metamorphic, and to a lesser extent, igneous stone, the stone was formed by the accumulation of roughly parallel layers of material built up over time.
		On harder stones, a flat chisel is used to remove the ridges left by the tooth chisel.
		On the harder stones, I use a pneumatic grinder with a center water feed and diamond pads in an assortment of grits from 40 to 3,000.

		The visitors treated the sculptures as their own, and when the time came for them to leave Missouri there was a sense of loss, almost a grief on the part of many who came to the Gardens.
