From Concept to Installation:
The Collaborative Process of Michael Herold – Sculptor, Designer, Artist, Fabricator

To ensure the successful creation and installation of each sculpture, I work closely with the commissioning body, design and construction teams, and a network of highly skilled fabricators. This collaborative approach guarantees that each project is executed to the highest standards, seamlessly integrating art into its surroundings.

Each sculpture is meticulously crafted with the highest level of artistry and precision, ensuring it not only transforms a space but becomes a treasured, one-of-a-kind statement piece. I collaborate with master fabricators to bring your ambitious visions to life, using premium materials that guarantee both beauty and longevity. My process is tailored to each collector’s unique vision, ensuring a seamless experience from concept to installation. 

Why Commission a Sculpture?

A custom sculpture is more than just an object—it’s a statement. It enhances spaces, sparks conversation, and becomes a lasting landmark. Whether you need a monumental public installation, a striking corporate statement piece, or a distinctive addition to a private collection, I work closely with you to bring your vision to life.
