This is a text about an Argentine artist. Is this just another term for sculpture or three-dimensional pieces?
Junto a esta series, las 5 piezas de bulto realizadas en granito gris completan la sala. Ellas replican concepciones visuales geométricas: cubos y semi-esferas se asoman sobre la superficie del piso para observarnos.
Thanks

Full free-standing three-dimensional sculptures as opposed to reliefs.
"Hay dos tipos de esculturas: las exentas y el relieve.
Las exentas o de bulto redondo, son aquellas que al ser tridimensionales pueden ser observadas desde todos los ángulos."
http://www.portaldearte.cl/educacion/media/1ero/escultura.ht...
"El relieve es la técnica escultórica en la que las formas modeladas o talladas resaltan respecto a un entorno plano. A diferencia de las esculturas de bulto redondo (que se esculpen reproduciendo su relieve o profundidad natural), los relieves están integrados en un muro, generalmente, o en caso de ser arte mobiliar, al soporte que los enmarca"
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relieve_(arte)
"A basic distinction is between sculpture in the round, free-standing sculpture, such as statues, not attached (except possibly at the base) to any other surface, and the various types of relief, which are at least partly attached to a background surface."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sculpture
"ivory tusks can be used whole, cut into panels for relief carving, or cut into blocks for carving smaller pieces in-the-round."

Or of course "works in the round" if you prefer.
