"Asclepios" (o Asclepius) er en berømt skulptur fra 1988 lavet af den enestående polske kunstner Igor Mitoraj (1944–2014).
Værket indfanger mesterens stilistiske signatur fuldt ud, udtrykt gennem en poetik, der forener klassisk skønhed med den menneskelige krops sårbarhed.
Det udgør et fragmenteret mandligt bust uden hoved og arme, inspireret af Asclepius, den græske læge- og helbredelsesgud.
Figuren vækker idealet om oldtidsstatuerets perfektion, men viser samtidig forfald og tidsmæssig skade.
På overkroppen er to firkantede indlæg synlige (et ved claviculaen og et ved brystet). Dette geometriske indstik er kunstnerens typiske signatur, der skaber en surreal og nutidig splittelse på den polerede overflade.

Denne vidunderlige og sjældne bronzeskulptur patineret af mester Igor Mitoraj, i begrænset oplag, vil blive afsendt med forsikring verden over.

"Asclepios" (or Asclepius) is a famous 1988 sculpture by the extraordinary Polish artist Igor Mitoraj (1944–2014).
The work perfectly embodies the master's stylistic signature, expressed through a poetics that combines classical beauty with the vulnerability of the human form.
It depicts a fragmented male bust without a head or arms, inspired by Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine and healing.
The figure recalls the ideal perfection of ancient statuary but at the same time shows its degradation and temporal damage.
Two square inserts are visible on the torso (one on the clavicle and one on the chest). This geometric graft is a signature typical of the artist, creating a surreal and contemporary split on the polished surface.
