What is Portrait d'Homme by Igor Mitoraj?

Portrait d'Homme (Portrait of a Man) is a bronze sculpture by Igor Mitoraj created around 1984 in Pietrasanta, Italy. It depicts a male head in Mitoraj's characteristic fragmentary style — a classically structured face with surfaces that suggest age, damage, or partial completion. The work was cast at Fonderia Mariani, Pietrasanta, in an edition of approximately 250 numbered copies. It is among the more refined and restrained of Mitoraj's bronze heads.

What are the dimensions and edition size of Portrait d'Homme?

Portrait d'Homme measures approximately 60 cm in height. The edition consists of approximately 250 numbered copies (format 'x/250') plus hors commerce examples. The incised signature 'Mitoraj' and edition number appear on the base of the bronze. Foundry mark: 'F.MARIANI' or 'DEL CHIARO' cast into the base.

What is the market value of a Mitoraj Portrait d'Homme?

Portrait d'Homme bronzes sell in the range of €4,000–€20,000 at auction and privately, depending on condition, edition number, and provenance documentation. Being a larger bronze (60 cm) in a relatively small edition of 250, examples in excellent condition with original documentation achieve the upper end of this range. Artcurial (Paris) is the most active auction venue for this work.
