What is Persée by Igor Mitoraj?

Persée (Perseus) is one of Igor Mitoraj's most iconic bronze subjects — a fragmented head or torso of the mythological hero Perseus, typically helmeted and showing the sculptor's characteristic damage: split surfaces, bandaged sections, and missing features. Mitoraj produced multiple Persée variants from the 1970s through the 2000s in both bronze and marble, ranging from small cabinet editions to large-scale public 装置s. The bandaged face of Persée is among the most reproduced images of Mitoraj's work.

What is Asclépios by Igor Mitoraj?

Asclépios is Mitoraj's sculptural interpretation of the Greek god of medicine and healing — typically depicted as a serene, half-veiled or bandaged head in bronze. The combination Persée–Asclépios refers to a pair of related sculptures, or pages presenting both Persée and Asclépios variants together. Asclépios bronzes appear in editions of approximately 8, cast at Fonderia Mariani, Pietrasanta. Dimensions range from 40 to 80 cm.

What are the typical dimensions and edition sizes for Persée bronzes?

Persée editions vary considerably. Small study editions: 15–25 cm, up to 250 examples. Standard gallery editions: 30–55 cm, typically 8–20 examples. Large-scale works: 80–150 cm, editions of 1–5 or unique. The well-known large Persée Ailé (winged Persée) installed in public spaces is typically unique or edition of 1. Foundry marks on Persée bronzes are typically 'F.MARIANI' or 'DEL CHIARO', both in Pietrasanta.

How do you sell a Mitoraj Persée or Asclépios?

I buy Persée and Asclépios bronzes directly from private owners at prices reflecting current auction values — without the 10–15% seller's commission charged by auction houses. Send me a photograph of the sculpture and its base (showing any foundry mark, signature, and edition number) and I will respond within 24 hours. All sizes and conditions considered.
