What is Centurione II by Igor Mitoraj?

Centurione II (1987) is a bronze sculpture by Polish-French sculptor Igor Mitoraj (1944–2014) depicting a fragmentary helmeted warrior's head in his characteristic classical-antique style. The work references ancient Roman centurions and is one of Mitoraj's most widely collected bronze series. It was cast at Fonderia Mariani and Fonderia Del Chiaro, both in 이탈리아 피에트라산타.

What is the edition size of Centurione II?

Centurione II was issued in an edition of 1,500 numbered copies plus 30 hors commerce (HC) examples. The edition number is incised directly into the bronze surface, typically on the base or neck, in the format 'x/1500' or 'HC x/30'. The signature 'Mitoraj' is also incised, not cast.

What are the dimensions of Centurione II?

The standard Centurione II measures approximately 19 cm in height. Larger variants in the Centurione family (including Centurione I) range from 28 cm to 50 cm. The sculpture is typically presented on a separate stone or bronze base that adds to the overall displayed height.

What is the market value of a Mitoraj Centurione II?

Centurione II bronzes typically sell in the range of €200–€2,000 on the secondary market, depending on condition, patina quality, and provenance documentation. Examples with original gallery certificates and clean, dark patinas achieve the higher end of this range. The edition size of 1,500 keeps prices relatively accessible compared to smaller-edition Mitoraj works.

How do you authenticate a Mitoraj Centurione II?

Authentication of Centurione II relies on three markers: (1) an incised 'Mitoraj' signature on the bronze surface, (2) an incised edition number 'x/1500' or 'HC x/30', and (3) a foundry mark — either 'F.MARIANI' or 'DEL CHIARO' — cast into the base. Original sales documents from Artcurial (Paris) or authorised galleries further confirm authenticity. Beware of cast (rather than incised) signatures, which indicate unauthorised reproductions.
