Artprice recently published an article – Contemporary sculpture in excellent shape – on the strength of the contemporary sculpture market, particularly with regard to ‘installation’ type works.

This is good news for Italian sculptors who work in this sector. Indeed, one Italian sculptor, Maurizio Cattelan , is just behind the top three sculptors in terms of those artists whose works are most in demand on the worldwide art market.

For other Italian scultptors, such as Gianpietro Carlesso , Angelo Aligia , and Simone Racheli such news is encouraging. The work of these and many other Italian artists is crying out for more recognition.

Actually, the fact that the sculptors featured on this site have not yet attained the recognition they merit is very good news for collectors and speculators. It means that their works can be acquired for very reasonable prices, which will, potentially, increase vastly over time.
