art caster
The art caster works at an art foundry where artists leave their sculptures to be cast in the metal of their choice - bronze is commonly used. The art caster is often an artist, who has opened an art foundry to cast sculptures in bronze or other metals as a business. In other words, they are not creating the artworks they cast in the foundry themselves, they are the craftspeople.

: Have never come across this expression before, and your source is a Dutch website which has been translated into English, so perhaps a bit of caution is due...

metal sculptor
I think "sculptor" indicates artistry without it needing to be stated explicitly.

Anna Herbst
: Bergman is not the artist, he is the craftsman who cast the sculpture. Very likely, the Bergman referred to is Herman Bergman - http://www.bergmanskonstgjuteri.se/historik.html
