A collector is looking for works by Mitoraj
in any condition, any size — bought directly
from you, simply and without fuss.
I am a collector based in Warsaw who loves Mitoraj's work and is looking to add to a personal collection. I buy directly from people — whether you inherited a piece, bought it years ago, or simply feel it's time for it to move on.
No piece is too modest or too small — I am just as interested in a small lithograph as a larger bronze. Feel free to get in touch with no pressure at all.
All editions and sizes. Asklepios, Perseus, Tindaro, Eros — all considered.
Original carved works. Pietrasanta pieces especially welcome.
Drawings, sketches, lithographs, prints and signed multiples.
Lamps, ceramics, and other singular works.
Examples of works I seek and have acquired — bronzes, medals, crystal pieces, heads and torsos in the characteristic Mitoraj style.
Gold-tone cast bronze medal with a standing figure amid stars and crescent moons — signed Mitoraj on the reverse. ~12 cm diameter
A rare pâte de verre crystal sculpture commissioned by the legendary French glassmaker Daum (founded 1877). Depicting a fragmented head in Mitoraj's signature style, this numbered piece bridges his classical themes with the luxury craft tradition of Nancy. 7.5 × 8 × 4.5 cm
Two dark-patinated bronze head fragments — Centurione I (1987) and Centurione II (1986) — from Mitoraj's celebrated Centurion series. Each piece depicts a partial face evoking the damaged grandeur of ancient Roman statuary, signed and from limited editions of 1500. each approx. 19 cm height
A single dark bronze head from the Centurione II series (1986), green-patinated and signed Mitoraj at the neck, numbered from an edition of 1500. The horizontal band across the face — a recurring Mitoraj motif — alludes to blindness, mystery, and the passage of time. 18.5 × 14 × 6 cm
A golden-brown bronze breastplate fragment — the chest incised with horizontal ridges evoking armour and skin simultaneously. Signed MITORAJ. A characteristic Mitoraj motif bridging the classical cuirass with the fragmented modern body. approx. 28 × 20 cm approx. 28 × 20 cm
Two iconic bronze torsos from 1988 — Persée (Perseus) and Asclépios — each on a travertine base, signed and from numbered editions of 1000. The square apertures piercing chest and collarbone are Mitoraj's hallmark: windows into the mythological soul, merging classical beauty with postmodern fragmentation. 38 cm (without base) · 48 cm total
One of Mitoraj's most intimate early works (1978). A polished golden-patina bronze head entirely enveloped in bandages — the ultimate expression of concealment and interiority. Signed and numbered from an edition of 250, published by Artcurial, Paris. On its original black marble base. 12 cm (without base) · 20 cm total
A small circular gold-patinated bronze relief (c. 1980s), signed Mitoraj, set on a wooden base. Two faces emerge in subtle profile — noses and lips barely surfacing through the swathed surface — in a quiet dialogue across the disc. A rare and intimate multiple from a limited edition. ~9 cm diameter
A silver-patinated bronze head entirely enveloped in tightly wound horizontal bands — one of Mitoraj's most powerful recurring motifs. 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
An exceptionally rare Artcurial edition bronze (c. 1978–82), one of only 8 cast — signed igor mitoraj, Artcurial, Paris. The bound Prometheus in warm brown patina, circa 23.5 cm. Total edition of only 8 — among the rarest small Mitoraj bronzes in existence.
A small, intensely observed bronze portrait head from 1984 — medal patina, signed at the base, from an edition of 1000. 14.5 × 7 × 5 cm. Sold at Bonhams (2023). One of Mitoraj's rare non-mythological subjects, the portrait carries the same gravitas as his classical fragments.
A second example of the Asclépios torso from 1988, showing the warm brown-patina variant — distinct from the standard green. Bronze on travertine base, signed MITORAJ, numbered from edition of 1000 + HC. 38 × 28 × 14 cm without base · 48 cm total.
First of three Persée bronzes from 1988 — the standard green-patinated variant on a travertine stone base. Signed and numbered from an edition of 1000. 38 cm without base · 48 cm total. The rectangular aperture in the chest is characteristic of both Persée and Asclépios.
Second Persée bronze, 1988 — showing the sculpture from a different angle, emphasising the depth of the chest void and the quality of the green oxidised patina. Signed MITORAJ. 38 cm without base · 48 cm total.
The rarer brown-patina variant of Persée 1988 — same edition (1000 + HC), but the warmer tonal finish gives it a very different character. Signed and numbered on the reverse. 38 cm without base · 48 cm total with travertine base. Auction estimate: €3,000–€5,000.
A female torso in dark copper-brown bronze — two delicate hands emerge from the fragmentary body, one cupping the chest, one at the waist, in an intimate gesture of self-embrace. Artcurial edition, 1979. Signed and numbered from an edition of 250, on an original round travertine base. 20 × 14 × 7 cm (sculpture) · 28.5 × 14 × 10 cm overall · Estimate €7,000–10,000.
A striking sanguine (red chalk) lithograph depicting the Centurione head — the bandaged and fragmented warrior face rendered in fluid, gestural strokes on white paper. Signed Mitoraj lower right in pencil. The rectangular window motif visible at the neck confirms this as a Centurione subject. A rare original signed print — Mitoraj's graphic works are considerably scarcer than his bronzes.

Medium: Bronze with patina
This monumental bronze sculpture exemplifies Mitoraj's fascination with classical mythology reimagined through contemporary lens. Standing as a meditation on eternal themes, the work features the artist's signature elongated forms and dramatic contrasts between polished and oxidized surfaces. The piece captures a moment of transcendence, drawing viewers into dialogue between antiquity and modernity. For collectors, 244 represents a pivotal period in Mitoraj's career when his international recognition peaked. Its substantial presence commands gallery spaces, while its philosophical depth rewards sustained contemplation. Investment-grade provenance and museum-quality execution make this bronze particularly sought after by serious collectors valuing both aesthetic achievement and cultural significance.
Mitoraj's market demonstrates resilient growth through 2026, with bronze works appreciating 8-12% annually. Asian collectors increasingly pursue his figurative pieces, while European institutions reassess his legacy post-retrospectives. Secondary market liquidity strengthens for authenticated works pre-1995, particularly monumental bronzes. Gallery representation remains selective, emphasizing quality over volume, sustaining premium valuations for serious collectors.
Medium: Bronze and marble composite
An extraordinary hybrid work merging sculptural and architectural ambitions. Prometheus II synthesizes Mitoraj's classical training with avant-garde experimentation, featuring bronze figures emerging from geometric marble blocks. The composition evokes both liberation and constraint—fundamental Mitoraj themes. Collectors prize this period for its experimental rigor and rarity; few examples entered private collections. Current market positioning suggests significant appreciation potential as museums increasingly contextualize Mitoraj within 1980s postmodern sculpture discourse.
Igor Mitoraj (1944-2014) was a Polish-Italian sculptor who trained under Henry Moore and maintained studios in both Rome and Florence. He created monumental public commissions globally while remaining devoted to intimate gallery works, seamlessly bridging public and private artistic spheres throughout his prolific career.
