How To Commission A Sculpture

Although there are many sculptures for sale, and by their very nature, most of these are handmade one off originals, it is still possible that you won't find exactly the kind of sculpture that you want for your home or garden. In that case it's quite likely that you will want to commission a sculptor to create something specifically for you. Commissioning a sculpture is often an exciting process that allows you to really express yourself.

The first thing that you need to know is that original commissioned artwork doesn't come cheap. You may find a new sculptor who offers sculptures for sale at a much lower rate than other artists in the same genre, but even these unknown sculptors will charge a much higher fee for commissioned work than they would place on their general works for sale. What you need to keep in mind is how long the sculpture is going to take to complete, as well as the kind of materials used.

Commissioning a sculpture

Before commissioning a sculpture, make sure that the sculptor you choose knows exactly what you want. This means that you need to discuss what materials will be used in the sculpture as well as the subject matter, the placement of the sculpture within your home or garden, and what size it should be. Smaller pieces with many intricate details can take as long as large pieces that are more simplistic in style. The length of time the sculptor will take to make the commissioned work of art will usually be the main factor in the cost of creating it.

When requesting a quote for the sculpture, make sure that the sculptor knows they are expected to provide a number of sketches so that you can choose the one that bests suits what you're looking for. You are commissioning an original sculpture rather than simply buying a sculpture for sale and so you need to ensure that both you and the sculptor are on the same page before work begins. You should also require that the sculptor gives some kind of timeframe so that you know approximately how long it will take to complete the work.

Knowing what to discuss

Other things that you should discuss with the sculptor, and have written into your quotation, are the kind of materials to be used, how many times you will be able to see and comment upon the sculpture during the time it is being created and whether or not you will be able to make changes to the design during this time.

The more details that you are able to agree with the sculptor prior to them beginning on the work, the more confident you should be that they will produce what you are looking for, and the price you will be expected to pay for it. Paying attention to details in the beginning should also mean that you get exactly what you are looking for and that the commissioned sculpture for sale experience is a positive one.
