Some good photography advice has been given already but I will shed some light on what and how you should shoot it for gallery submission. Prior to moving into adult I owned an art gallery for over 10 years, so I have looked over hundreds of artist submissions.

Be sure to shoot the work in several set-ups. I would shoot with a neutral backdrop, as well as a gallery type setting, and in a real life set-up.

For gallery type setting try to shoot in a empty room with the work on the floor or a pedestal. For the real life set up, place the work in a well manicured garden.

Gallery owners need to see the work from several vantage points, and in various locales. The images may also be used to pre-sell to select clients so seeing the work in various environments could not only sell the gallery owner but generate interest from collectors.

And don't forget a good selection of detail shots, and close-ups.

Best of luck, sculpture is a tough sell, usually comes in about second to last in terms of revenue for a gallery.
