Conceptual sculpture is a type of artwork that emphasizes an idea or concept rather than the physical form or aesthetic qualities of the sculpture. This type of sculpture is typically made using a wide range of materials, often including found objects, and may take on a variety of shapes and sizes.

The concept or idea behind a conceptual sculpture is typically the primary focus of the artwork. The sculptor may use the physical form and material of the sculpture as a means of conveying this idea or as a commentary on it.

Conceptual sculpture is often challenging for viewers to interpret since the idea is not always immediately apparent from the physical form of the sculpture. It is therefore important for viewers to consider the context surrounding the sculpture, such as its title, the artist's statement, and the exhibition it is part of, in order to fully understand its meaning.
