Spanish term

conjunto escultural

Spanish to English Art/Literary Architecture
Dear colleagues,

In the past I've translated "conjunto escultural" (as in a group of sculptures that form a set) simply as "sculpture", rather than "sculpture set" or anything like that, but I was wondering, just out of curiosity, if any of you use anything different?

Thanks.

sculptural ensemble

Group and programme are fine, this is just another suggestion - arty and French. Aeshtetic. Collins gives ensemble as direct equivlent of conjunto. Plenty of Google hits, too - e.g.:
