What is Tête Secrète by Igor Mitoraj?

Tête Secrète (Secret Head) is a bronze sculpture by Igor Mitoraj first created around 1978 in Pietrasanta. It depicts a classical head with the face partly veiled or wrapped — a recurring motif in Mitoraj's work suggesting mystery, interiority, and the interplay between revelation and concealment. Tête Secrète was cast at Fonderia Mariani, Pietrasanta, in an edition of approximately 250 numbered copies plus hors commerce examples.

What are the dimensions and edition size of Tête Secrète?

The standard Tête Secrète measures approximately 55 cm in height. The edition comprises roughly 250 numbered bronzes (format 'x/250') plus approximately 30 hors commerce examples (format 'HC x/30'). The signature 'Mitoraj' and edition number are incised into the bronze. Foundry mark: 'F.MARIANI' or 'DEL CHIARO', cast into the base.

What is the market value of a Mitoraj Tête Secrète?

Tête Secrète bronzes sell in the range of €3,000–€15,000 on the secondary market and at auction, depending on edition number, condition, and provenance. Lower edition numbers (e.g. 1/250–50/250) and examples with original gallery certificates achieve higher prices. Artcurial (Paris) and Sotheby's are the most active auction venues for this work.

How do you authenticate a Mitoraj Tête Secrète?

Authentic Tête Secrète bronzes carry three identifying marks: (1) incised 'Mitoraj' signature on the bronze surface; (2) incised edition number 'x/250' or 'HC x/30'; (3) a foundry mark — 'F.MARIANI' or 'DEL CHIARO' — cast into the base. These marks should be sharp and clearly defined. Cast (rather than incised) signatures, absence of an edition number, or unfamiliar foundry marks are red flags.
