Modern Art Foundry
Fine Art Sand Casting & The Molten Legacy. Forging timeless sculptures through fire, precision, and generations of mastery.
The Process
Each sculpture begins as an idea and ends as a permanent testament to human creativity, forged through our meticulous sand casting process.
The artist's original vision is captured in a master pattern, the foundation from which all subsequent forms will derive.
Specialized foundry sand is packed around the pattern with precision, creating a negative impression that will receive molten metal.
Bronze or aluminum heated to 2,000°F flows into the mold cavity, filling every detail the artist envisioned.
Chasing, patination, and surface treatment transform the raw casting into a finished work of art.
Fine Art Sand Casting
Sand casting is the oldest and most versatile method of metal casting. At Modern Art Foundry, we have elevated this ancient technique to an art form, preserving the subtlest details while ensuring structural integrity that lasts millennia.
Our specialized sand mixtures and proprietary packing techniques allow us to capture textures as fine as fingerprints, making us the choice of artists who demand absolute fidelity to their original work.
The Molten Legacy
Since 1978, Modern Art Foundry has been the silent partner to some of the most significant sculptors of our time. Our work stands in permanent collections from the Metropolitan Museum of Art to private estates across five continents.
The Molten Legacy is not just our history—it's the ongoing story of artists who trust us with their most ambitious visions, and the countless hours of craftsmanship that transform those visions into eternal metal.
The foundry is where the artist's hand meets eternity. Modern Art Foundry doesn't just cast metal—they preserve soul.— Sculptor Testimonial
