Lmao! Nearly all is sculpture? What about architecture, painting, stained glass, ceramics, mosaics, tapestries, earth-works, assemblage, installations and performance art? Chopped liver?
aside from maybe architecture, id say chopped liver is close, because in my view, the vast majority of public artworks is krylon.
i guess that would technically be a subdivision of painting, but ive never heard it described that way by an artist. ever.
public artworks. and whattyaknow... people get worked up about em all the time.
awfully paranoid, arent you?

I started with "I could be wrong" but for the record:
earth works, assemblage, ceramics, most forms of installations, and architecture are sculptural in nature, yes.
And I'm talking specifically art that is publicly owned and viewable. Mural paintings are probably the number two, I would guess, with general graf excluded because it's not technically owned by the public. Meanwhile sculptural forms exist in nearly every city as city property, either in the form of a memorial to some famous person, fountains on public property, and the like.
Architecture is hard because it isn't typically looked at as a fine art. It's meant to typically be aesthetically pleasing, sure, but mostly after functionality. Which is why we have the brutalist movement.
There is an argument that publicly owned buildings are technically art and that they could potentially out number all the sculptural works, but they are inherently sculptural in nature and would then add to those numbers.
Basically sculpture refers to anything that is typically defined by three dimensions. Paintings, as scruffy points out, can have a slight bas relief quality since it can be layered up, accumulated, or applied to different planes, but it's generally only considered sculptural if that's the intent, which it almost never is.
fwiw:
bas relief sculpture
"painting" with sculptural elements
But all of this is just you know, me rambling about my art and is entirely moot anyway.
(ps the last picture is work by a friend of mine and I love it so much.)
If you really believed that all lives matter we wouldn't need to say black lives matter
