Through a deep analysis of materials—bronze, marble, wood, or wax—the book demonstrates that these are not mere technical data, but active agents in artistic creation. The reader will discover how the technical gesture and the choice of the physical medium determine the meaning and belonging of a work to the field of art, offering a renewed and materialist perspective on the history of sculpture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book starts from a revealing premise: the material data that accompany the technical entries of sculptures in museums (gilt bronze, Carrara marble, linden wood, colored wax over plaster) are often read as routine and irrelevant information. However, the work demonstrates that these physical substances are decisive in the invention of the artistic work. Through an approach that prioritizes the tangible, the author analyzes how matter evidences a piece's belonging to the field of art, especially in the case of sculpture, where the technical gesture and workshop operations are fundamental. The relationship between material, technique, and meaning is explored, offering an alternative history of sculpture centered on its physical and material reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial history of sculpture and its relationship with physical media.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe role of bronze, marble, wood, and wax as active agents in artistic creation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe importance of the technical gesture and workshop operations in defining the work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCritical review of the conventional reading of museum technical entries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMatter as evidence of belonging to the field of art.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at art historians, fine arts students, museum curators, sculptors, and any reader interested in a more technical and material approach to sculpture.
