Copper is the oldest metal known and used by humankind - after all, since 8000 B.C. A whole epoch of the Neolithic period is even named after it.
This fascinating metal experienced an artistic peak in the 16th century with the copperplate engraving. Picasso appreciated this technique for its sharp lines and contributed to its revival today. Moreover, copper has firmly established itself in the branch of sculpture.
