In modern art, sculptors have more often pursued a series of styles such as Pop, Minimalism and Surrealism to innovate and create sculptures. It is not difficult to find that with the progress of society and technology the form of sculpture is also undergoing changes. From ancient times to the present, sculpture has undergone various material changes as a vehicle for expressing aesthetic ideas.
The 1970s was the monumental era of stainless steel, and artists began to use the medium in their work. Since then, sculptors from around the world have used stainless steel to produce iconic works of art.
The world’s top 3 famous stainless steel sculptures are as follows.
1.Balloon Dog
Artist Jeff Koons has made a name for himself with his reproductions of everyday objects, but one of the most notable is the balloon dog sculpture. These sculptures mimic what look like balloon animals, are made of stainless steel with a mirror finish, and were exhibited in various locations throughout the late 1990s. The structures varied, but each was brightly colored and at least 10 feet tall. To this day, the balloon dog structures are still considered some of the best pop art in history.
