01

Design

Design

Digital artists, trained in classical figurative and contemporary art, take drawings, scans, or just a concept and transform them into finished 3D models.

02

Robotic Milling

Robotic Milling

Fabricators, using the most advanced 7-axis CNC stone carving robots in the world, mill sculpture to within .1mm of the surface.

03

Hand Carving

Hand Carving

Stone carvers, trained at the leading sculpture academies and workshops, finish every piece to exact specifications, using both traditional and modern tools.

Commission Art from World-Renowned Artists

For collectors, we arrange collaborations with top artists to design custom works that we realize in stone.

Adam Parker Smith's practice is primarily sculptural, relating to painting, wall relief and appropriation. Following an extended conceptual project that consisted of Smith stealing his colleagues' work, the artist turned toward a more traditional – perhaps earnest – approach to art-making. Working largely with 'faux' materials of all sorts, Smith creates highly composed, brightly colored sculptures and wall pieces that flirt with the surreal. Smith has exhibited work nationally and internationally, and has been written about in Art in America, Artforum, the New York Times and the New Yorker. For the Time Being is Smith's first Museum exhibition on the West Coast.

Smith has had solo exhibitions at The Hole (New York, 2019, 2017, and 2016); Galería Curro (Guadalajara, 2019); and Ever Gold [Projects] (San Francisco, 2014).

Our Process

01

Ideation

Ideation

Your ideas are developed into 3D models by an in-house designer—or by an artist of your choice—who works directly with you to realize your vision.

02

Robotic Milling

Robotic Milling

CNC robots, programmed by master fabricators, complete the initial stages of carving in a fraction of the time and cost of traditional methods.

03

Hand Carving

Hand Carving

Our stone carvers, trained in leading sculpture academies and artist workshops, finish every piece by hand, giving it the same quality as great works of the past.

Elizabeth Molina

Director of Commissions

Elizabeth (Liz) Molina specializes in the creation and refinement of collections. She cultivates a network of individual collectors and institutions who truly appreciate the value of sculpture, helping them navigate opportunities to commission art from the world’s top artists and Monumental’s team of designers and artisans.

Liz previously worked as a private art advisor, and before that at the Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi in Florence, Harvard University's Special Collections in Cambridge and The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.

Her area of scholarly focus is the intersection of craft, art, and collecting. Her PhD in Art History, from the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, Italy, investigated the history of private collections.
