Any work of art carried out in three dimensions. With the advent of Conceptual art in the 1970s, the word also began to be used for a wide variety of Avant-Garde works of art, some consisting of only a series of written statements and others using dimensions of time as well as space. When the British artist Richard Long made one of his planned walks across country, and recorded what he had done on a map, this action was also labelled “sculpture.” The word has thus become a label for almost any form of art activity other than painting.
