Statue collecting is the practice of acquiring and displaying sculptures made from various materials such as stone, metal, or wood. Collectors often focus on specific themes, styles, or periods, such as classical sculptures from ancient Greece or modern art pieces. Statues can range from small figurines to large outdoor installations, and they are often appreciated for their artistic value and historical significance. Many collectors participate in the art market, attending auctions, galleries, and art fairs to find unique pieces. Some may also seek out limited edition statues or works by renowned artists, which can increase in value over time. Collecting statues can be a rewarding hobby that combines aesthetics with investment potential.
