Commission Overview
Private
Each project begins with a singular intent and is developed through focused, private collaboration led directly by sculptor Michael Herold, with discretion throughout.
Whether a site-defining installation or a work scaled for a private environment, the objective remains the same: a sculpture that holds presence, integrates naturally, and becomes a defining element of the property itself—distinct, enduring, and singular to its setting.
Each work is developed as a one-of-one piece, with a process designed to remain focused, efficient, and unobtrusive from concept through installation.
