The response was immediate and the offer was fair. Everything was handled discreetly. — Private seller, France · 2024 “ Sold a Centurione I inherited. The collector knew exactly what it was and made a serious offer within 24 hours. Simple and professional. — Estate sale, Italy · 2025 “ No auction fees, no waiting. I sent photos and received an offer the same day. Payment was quick and secure. Highly recommended to any Mitoraj owner. — Collector, Germany · 2025 ### Why Sell to a Private Collector? Auction houses charge sellers 10–18% commission on the hammer price — plus 4–12 weeks to process the consignment, then another month before payment. The process takes months and a commission is deducted from whatever price is achieved. Selling directly means an offer the same day and payment within days, with no commission deducted. I pay based on current auction market levels. I am not looking for bargains — I am looking for works to add to a serious collection and I pay accordingly. Every enquiry is treated with complete discretion: your identity and the details of any work you share are never disclosed to any third party, under any circumstances. I consider all works: bronzes, marbles, lithographs, drawings, and unique objects. All conditions are considered, all formats from the smallest Artcurial multiple to monumental commissions. If you are unsure whether what you own is genuine, I will give you an honest assessment at no charge and with no obligation to sell.

Only the lips break through the wrapping, evoking silence, mystery, and concealed identity. Signed and from a limited edition of 250, published by Artcurial, Paris. On its original black cubic base. _11.5 × 11 × 7 cm (without base) · approx. 20 cm total_ [ ![Persée (1988) — Three Patinas — Igor Mitoraj, bronze torso, edition of 1000, brown and green patina variants, Fonderia Mariani](https://mitoraj-search.com/images/mitoraj-persee-trio-r3.webp) ](/images/mitoraj-persee-trio-r3.webp) #### Persée (1988) — Three Patinas [Persée (1988) — Three Patinas → details](/mitoraj-persee.html) Three Persée bronzes side by side: left in warm brown patina, centre and right in green patina — all from the 1988 edition of 1000 + HC.

Signed _Mitoraj_ lower right in pencil. A rare original signed print — Mitoraj's graphic works on paper are considerably scarcer than his bronzes. [ ![Stella — Igor Mitoraj, dark patina bronze fragment sculpture, private collection](https://mitoraj-search.com/images/mitoraj-stella.webp) ](/images/mitoraj-stella.webp) #### Stella [Stella → details](/mitoraj-stella.html) A fragment of a lower face — lips, chin, neck merging into an upper torso — in warm reddish-brown patina.

The gold patina and abstract rounded form of fabric folds make this one of Mitoraj's most enigmatic works — concealment as its own revelation. [ ![Prométhée — Igor Mitoraj, silver-grey patina bronze bust, classical figure, private collection](https://mitoraj-search.com/images/mitoraj-promethee.webp) ](/images/mitoraj-promethee.webp) #### Prométhée [Prométhée → details](/mitoraj-promethee.html) A small silver-plated bronze bust — wrapped head and bound torso on a black marble base. The high-mirror chrome patina is exceptional among Mitoraj editions; the binding motif here reads as both punishment and protection, faithful to the myth of Prometheus chained. Signed MITORAJ. [ ![Corazza (1987) — Igor Mitoraj, bronze breastplate, unique edition II/V, Fonderia Mariani Pietrasanta](https://mitoraj-search.com/images/mitoraj-torso-2-r.webp) ](/images/mitoraj-torso-2-r.webp) #### Corazza (1987) [Corazza (1987) → details](/mitoraj-corazza.html) A bronze breastplate (corazza) from 1987 — one of only five cast. The Corazza belongs to Mitoraj's late-1980s series of armoured and bound forms, in which the body is simultaneously protected and constrained by the same gesture. Signed MITORAJ. Edition of 25. _approx. 25 × 29 × 10.5 cm_ [ ![Corazza Media — Igor Mitoraj, wrapped bronze torso, front view, private collection](https://mitoraj-search.com/images/mitoraj-torso-3-r.webp) ](/images/mitoraj-torso-3-r.webp) #### Corazza Media — Front View [Corazza Media — Front View → details](/mitoraj-corazza.html) The wrapped bronze torso upright — the X-crossing of the binding straps across the chest clearly visible.

The sculptural tension between concealment and form is most visible here. [ ![Corazza Media — Igor Mitoraj, wrapped bronze torso, side view](https://mitoraj-search.com/images/mitoraj-torso-5-r.webp) ](/images/mitoraj-torso-5-r.webp) #### Corazza Media — From the Side [Corazza Media — From the Side → details](/mitoraj-corazza.html) The torso from the side — the horizontal binding at the waist and the warm, polished bronze of the chest in full light. The deliberate fragmenting of neck and arms is particularly evident from this angle. [ ![Corazza Media — Igor Mitoraj, wrapped bronze torso, second angle](https://mitoraj-search.com/images/mitoraj-torso-6-r.webp) ](/images/mitoraj-torso-6-r.webp) #### Corazza Media — Second Angle [Corazza Media — Second Angle → details](/mitoraj-corazza.html) A second view of the torso lying on its side — the depth of the bronze casting and the layered wrapping at the lower body. The ragged, open neck and shoulder edges are characteristic of Mitoraj's broken-body aesthetic. [ ![Saturnia — Igor Mitoraj, Daum pâte de cristal frosted crystal sculpture, limited edition](https://mitoraj-search.com/images/mitoraj-crystal-2-r.webp) ](/images/mitoraj-crystal-2-r.webp) #### Saturnia [Saturnia → details](/mitoraj-crystal-daum.html) A large frosted crystal sculpture — lips, nose and cheekbone emerging from the translucent surface in characteristic Mitoraj profile. The matte glass gives the face an ethereal, luminous quality. On a dark display base. [ ![Saturnia — Igor Mitoraj, Daum crystal sculpture, interior intaglio relief detail, pâte de cristal](https://mitoraj-search.com/images/mitoraj-crystal-4-r.webp) ](/images/mitoraj-crystal-4-r.webp) #### Saturnia — Interior [Saturnia — Interior → details](/mitoraj-crystal-daum.html) The most remarkable detail: a classical intaglio relief — a figure with flowing hair, looking upward — carved into the hollow interior of the crystal head. An interior world within the fragment. [ ![Saturnia — Igor Mitoraj, Daum crystal sculpture upright full form, pâte de cristal limited edition](https://mitoraj-search.com/images/mitoraj-crystal-7-r.webp) ](/images/mitoraj-crystal-7-r.webp) #### Saturnia — Upright [Saturnia — Upright → details](/mitoraj-crystal-daum.html) The full form of Saturnia shown upright — the scale of the head fragment is clear. The ragged upper edge and the deep hollowing are the piece's defining features. [ ![Saturnia — Igor Mitoraj, Daum crystal sculpture backlit showing translucent depth, pâte de cristal](https://mitoraj-search.com/images/mitoraj-crystal-8-r.webp) ](/images/mitoraj-crystal-8-r.webp) #### Saturnia — Backlit [Saturnia — Backlit → details](/mitoraj-crystal-daum.html) Light passing through the frosted crystal from behind — the translucent quality of the glass and the organic contours of the face lit from within. The sculpture transforms completely under backlighting. [ ![Torso Bijou — Igor Mitoraj, golden-patina small bronze torso, signed, Fonderia Mariani Pietrasanta](https://mitoraj-search.com/images/torso-bijou-1.webp) ](/images/torso-bijou-1.webp) #### Torso Bijou [Torso Bijou → details](/mitoraj-torso-bijou.html) A small golden-patinated bronze torso tightly bound by horizontal wrapping straps, on a polished black marble base. The characteristic Mitoraj gesture: the body simultaneously armoured and constrained. [ ![Torso Bijou — Igor Mitoraj, detail view showing golden patina and signature](https://mitoraj-search.com/images/torso-bijou-2.webp) ](/images/torso-bijou-2.webp) #### Torso Bijou — Detail [Torso Bijou — Detail → details](/mitoraj-torso-bijou.html) Close view of the diagonal strap crossing the chest and the intricate surface modelling of the bound torso.

The two canonical Mitoraj torsos of the late 1980s, united in a single view. [ ![Ikaria Pequeña — Igor Mitoraj, small bronze winged figure, dark patina, Pietrasanta edition](https://mitoraj-search.com/images/mitoraj-ikaria-pequenia.webp) ](/images/mitoraj-ikaria-pequenia.webp) #### Ikaria (small edition) [Ikaria (small edition) → details](/mitoraj-ikaria.html) A small collector bronze of Ikaria — Mitoraj's winged figure, symbol of desire and flight that mirrors the myth of Icarus.

Auction houses provide price transparency, but they charge sellers 10–18% commission on the hammer price, require 4–12 weeks for consignment processing, and then a further 4–8 weeks for payment after the sale. For example, on a work selling for €4,000 at hammer, a seller paying 30% commission nets only around €2,800 — after a wait of four to six months. Selling directly to me means an offer the same day, payment within days, and no commission deducted from the price you receive. I pay based on current auction market levels. I am not looking for bargains — I am looking for works to add to a serious collection, and I pay accordingly. Every enquiry is treated with complete discretion: your name, your address, and any details of the work you share are never disclosed to any third party. ### What Makes a Mitoraj Valuable Several factors determine the market value of any Mitoraj work. **Edition size** is the most important: an Artcurial edition of 8 (Prométhée) is incomparably rarer than an edition of 1500 (Centurione II). **Scale** matters enormously — a 40 cm bronze is worth three to four times more than a 20 cm example of the same subject. **Condition** of the patina is critical; over-cleaned or restored bronzes lose significant value. **Provenance** — a certificate from Atelier Mitoraj, or an auction record — adds confidence but is rarely decisive for well-documented editions. **The original base**(travertine, marble, or wood depending on the work) adds to the value of most desktop bronzes. I consider works in any condition, with or without certificates, with or without original bases. If you are unsure whether what you own is genuine, I will give you an honest assessment — there is no obligation to sell. ### The Mitoraj Market in 2025–2026 The Mitoraj market has strengthened considerably since the record 2025 Warsaw auction in which _[Tindaro](/mitoraj-plac-defilad.html)_ achieved PLN 6.89 million (approximately €1.6 million) — the highest price ever paid for a Mitoraj at Polish auction. This result confirmed the depth of Polish and international collector interest in his work. Early Artcurial editions (Tête Secrète, Kea, Prométhée) are among the most sought-after in the secondary market. ## Igor _Mitoraj_ 1944 — 2014 Born in Germany to a Polish mother and a French father, Mitoraj studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków under Tadeusz Kantor, before establishing his studio in Pietrasanta, Italy — among the same quarries that supplied Michelangelo. His fragmented figures — bandaged, truncated, serene — drew from classical antiquity while speaking entirely to the modern condition. His works stand in London, Paris, Pompeii, and collections worldwide.

He studied painting under Tadeusz Kantor at the Kraków Academy of Fine Arts, then moved to Paris in 1968 to study at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts. His career as a sculptor was launched by a solo exhibition at Galerie La Hune in Paris in 1976 — the same year he first visited Pietrasanta, the small Tuscan town whose marble quarries and bronze foundries would become the centre of his creative world for the next four decades. His signature vocabulary — truncated torsos, bandaged heads, fragmented limbs, rectangular apertures through the body — drew from classical Greek and Roman sculpture while speaking entirely to the modern condition. He said: _"I feel that a piece of arm or a leg speak far more strongly than a whole body."_ His public commissions stand in Pompeii, London, Paris, Rome, Milan, Warsaw, Kraków, Bamberg, St. Louis, and across Asia. His work is held by the British Museum, the Hirshhorn, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and national museums in Poland and Italy. Mitoraj died in Paris on 6 October 2014 and was buried in Pietrasanta. Since his death, his market has strengthened considerably — driven by Polish institutional collectors, Italian gallery estates, and a 2025 Warsaw auction record of €1.6 million for his monumental _[Tindaro](/mitoraj-plac-defilad.html)_.

Authentic Mitoraj bronzes carry an incised (not cast) signature — MITORAJ in capitals, or igor mitoraj in lowercase for early works — at the base of the neck or lower torso. An edition number in the format n/total appears on the reverse. Foundry marks from Pietrasanta foundries are common. Send me a photograph of the signature, edition number, and overall piece and I will give you an honest assessment free of charge. ### What is my Mitoraj worth? Value depends on the work, edition size, scale, condition, and current market. Early Artcurial editions (Tête Secrète, Kea, Prométhée) are the most sought-after. Send me a photograph and I will give you an honest assessment. ### Do I need a certificate of authenticity to sell? No. Certificates from Atelier Mitoraj in Pietrasanta are valuable but not required — the signature, edition number, and foundry mark are the primary authentication markers. Many genuine works circulate without certificates, particularly those sold through galleries in the 1980s and 1990s. I buy works with and without documentation and will advise on obtaining a certificate if needed. ### How quickly will you respond? I respond to every message personally, usually within a few hours and always within 24 hours. There is no automated response system — you will hear from me directly. If you send a photograph, I will include a specific assessment of your work in my reply.
