No doubt there are others. Contemporary sculpture seems to be almost entirely an American affair .... Johnbod ( talk) 12:49, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
because the caption attributes it to the wrong sculptor. Also many if the pictures in this article are repeated in the Sculpture article. We can do better than that. So, some are going to start being removed unless I hear something pretty soon. Einar aka Carptrash ( talk) 18:58, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
I happened upon this article by accident soon after its creation. Modern sculpture is a sterling example of WP:SPINOFF, and I'm perplexed by cries of deletion and duplication. The existence of this article should enable editors to streamline the main article Sculpture, reducing Sculpture#Modern to a summary section (in particular, the Modern gallery should probably be deleted from the main Sculpture article, or greatly reduced). The duplication needs to be addressed there, not here, as Johnbod said, though a summary section will often duplicate key images from the main article. I also agree with the need to clarify the scope here, and to understand "Modern" as a term of periodization that encompasses but is not confined to Modernism as an aesthetic or intellectual movement.

to find a way to begin the article with what modern sculpture IS, rather than what it includes. In my search, if I come across references that might help beef up the reference section I am going to insert them. Please feel free to do whatever you will with these, modernism is not exactly my cup of tea. Carptrash ( talk) 14:55, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
that we limit the images to one per artist, unless an artist earns two slots such as Alexander Calder might have done with mobiles and stables. Henry Moore has three images here. I feel two should go. Carptrash ( talk) 17:13, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
"stables" up above should be Stabiles - an article that needs writing - and I'll think about mobiles and images. They are (opinion) a rather significant development in modern sculpture since they spawned a whole industry of baby devises, among things, and are (again opinion) the most common and probably popular form of modern sculpture.

that having pictures down the right margin through the gallery to be ......... not good. It disrupts the chronological order that the gallery has carefully maintained. I believe that pictures that are not in the gallery should be out for a reason and so far, that reason eludes me. I am inclined to put almost all the images in the gallery, in chrono order and then pull out and use ones that have a relationship to the text. However am reluctant to just do it because someone has spent a lot of time and effort creating what is there now. Carptrash ( talk) 15:32, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
You have convinced me. Carptrash ( talk) 16:57, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
Visual art needs to be seen - stop deleting those images - think about the fact that the reader needs to see the art. Per WP:IAR, WP:UCS - this is an encyclopedia - the gallery is the best and most efficient way to display paintings and sculpture... Modernist ( talk) 18:57, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
Re. this passage: "Since the 1950s Modernist trends in sculpture both abstract and figurative have dominated the public imagination and the popularity of Modernist sculpture had sidelined the traditional approach." Combining "public imagination" and "popularity" in a single sentence is misleading. Modern art never even approached public acceptance, let alone popularity, until quite recently. Many cities have had had mostly modernist sculpture installed since perhaps 1970, yet I never heard anything but derogatory comments made about them until at least 2000. The public despised modernist sculpture for the entire 20th century. Pretending that it was popular at that time is revisionist history. Philgoetz ( talk) 15:28, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
