Craft becomes visible
Between the entry price and the big format lies a band where metal really shows what it can do: welding, casting, cutting into a convincing form. You can look for metal sculptures from 500 to 1,000 euro for sale when you want a piece with substance and craft.
In this band metal objects are often mid-sized, with clean joins between parts and a considered surface. It may be a small-format bronze, a steel sculpture or a mixed media piece that turns scrap into composition.

Heavier than it looks
Metal needs a load-bearing base. A wooden sideboard holds most pieces well, and with glass tops you should ask about weight. For wall objects the hanging system is decisive, since metal pulls on the anchor. Felt or rubber under the foot protects furniture.
Ways in
By technique you find bronze and mixed media, by style modern and abstract work. Ask about the type of metal, the surface treatment and the signature. A photo of the back often says more about the workmanship than the front view, since seams are not hidden there.
