Originals in this selection, Bas-relief, 5,000 to 10,000 euro.
Formats from 80 x 80 to 125 x 125 cm.
Wall sculpture with weight
A mixed media bas-relief in the top price tier joins sculpture and wall picture into an object of substance. You can buy bas-reliefs for sale from 5,000 to 10,000 euro here, preferably with wood as the bearing stuff.
At this level the relief is often built in several parts, with clear planes sliding over one another. Wood is cut, stained or burned, with metal or plaster added as contrast. The shadows become part of the composition.

Fitting into the room
A relief of this size works best when its surroundings stay calm. Hang it on a free wall, ideally with side light from a window or a wall lamp. Depending on the time of day, new shadow images appear.
Mounting technique
Ask about the hanging: rail, heavy-duty anchors, back panel? See whether parts can be detached and how the relief is secured in transport. Care of wood surfaces should also appear in the description. Transport deserves attention too, since reliefs of this size travel most safely in a custom crate with padding along all edges.
