The history of sculpture in the United States begins in the 1600s "with the modest efforts of craftsmen who adorned gravestones, Bible boxes, and various utilitarian objects with simple low-relief decorations."[1] American sculpture in its many forms, genres and guises has continuously contributed to the cultural landscape of world art into the 21st century.
