The lecture provides an overview of three-dimensional artistic phenomena in the broadest sense. Beginning in antiquity, the course deals with examples roughly chronologically up to the present day with its electronic installations. The course will not only cover the history of style, but will also introduce topics that have been virulent at various times: for example, the coloring of sculptures, or materials such as marble or wax versus polymaterialism. Formal aspects will be of concern: What different types of reliefs exist? Cultural history will also be included, for example the worship practices with reliquaries; we will ask ourselves for what purpose which type of monument was preferably created and when, etc.
