Origins and History
Contemporary Stainless Steel Sculptures emerged in the early 20th century, as artists and industrial designers began exploring the possibilities of this versatile material. The use of stainless steel in sculpture was pioneered by artists such as Julio González and Pablo Picasso, who experimented with welding and other techniques to create innovative forms. The popularity of Stainless Steel Sculptures grew in the 1960s and 1970s, as artists such as Anthony Caro and Richard Serra pushed the boundaries of the medium with their large-scale works.
