I could see artworks depicting a person of a particular gender honored with a he or a she, though the more common convention is probably to refer to it by name e.g. David or Mona. Would a sculpture of a group be called “they” even if it was done in one piece?

I probably would. It might depend on your view of he personification, and enumeration, of inanimate objects.
