Standing 407 cm tall and weighing over 3.6 tonnes, Tindaro Screpolato (1997) is one of Igor Mitoraj's most monumental public bronzes. The colossal fractured head — a blind giant whose horizontal slit-eyes recall an ancient blindfold, with a small Medusa-relief set into the base — spent nearly two decades at La Défense in Paris, commissioned by KPMG for their headquarters. In early 2025 it was sold at Polswiss Art in Warsaw for 6.89 million PLN, a record for any Mitoraj work sold in Poland. The buyer, real-estate developer NOHO Investment, committed to keeping the sculpture in public space: it is currently installed at Plac Defilad, between the Palace of Culture and Science and the Museum of Modern Art, before its planned permanent placement at the NOHO ONE development near Rondo Daszyńskiego.
