[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 9555152, member: 56"]Today there are also marble dust and resin combinations that can be very convincing in appearance. A lot of marble sculpture, busts of famous people, funerary art, was effectively mass produced using pantograph techniques, which makes it more problematic to find a unique piece by a solo artist (if that's what you hope for). The standard of reproduction is high. You should be able to find nice examples at not exorbitant prices, but I have no idea what the price range is. Obviously, original work from a known artist will top the expense list. This goes on today: [URL]https://www.marble-sculpture.com/collections[/URL] From that site's "About us" section: [I]"Sculptured Arts Studio have developed a unique dry marble forming process, and over the past 20 years Sculptured Arts have lead the way, the quality, and finish of in the reproduction of sculptures." [/I] I don't quite know what that means.[/QUOTE]
