Are sculptures more expensive than paintings?
Sculptors, for instance, especially those who work with foundries to produce bronzes, have far higher production costs than most painters. A $2,000 painting may have cost only $10 in actual materials to create, while a $2,000 bronze may have set back the sculptor $600 or more.6 May 2015
