Lighting a porcelain sculpture in a gallery requires a delicate balance between showcasing its intricate details and preserving its fragile nature. The best approach begins with understanding the sculpture’s form, texture, and glaze. Use soft, diffused lighting to avoid harsh shadows or glare, which can distort the artwork’s appearance. Adjustable LED spotlights are ideal, as they allow precise control over intensity and direction. Position lights at a 30-45 degree angle to highlight textures without causing reflections. Avoid UV-emitting bulbs to prevent long-term damage. For translucent porcelain, backlighting can create a stunning glow. Always test lighting setups during installation to ensure the sculpture looks its best from every viewing angle.
