Igor Mitoraj (1944-2014) - Persée

IGOR MITORAJ (1944–2014)
Persée, 1988
Bronze proof with matte brown patina, signed at the base and numbered 689/1000, resting on its original travertine plinth.
Fragmented bust representing Perseus, an iconic figure of Greek mythology, embodying heroic strength and courage. This work perfectly illustrates Igor Mitoraj's distinctive aesthetic, which combines the classical inspiration of ancient statues with a contemporary reading of fragmented form and intimate monumentalism.
The matte brown patina gives the work a sobriety and depth reminiscent of archaeological ruins, emphasizing the contrast between the softness of the volumes and the expressive power of the figure. The matte, nuanced surface, subtly textured, reflects the artist's attention to sculptural quality and the rendering of material.
Edition limited to 1000 copies, this proof, numbered C 0689/1000, testifies to the technical mastery and the timeless nature of Mitoraj's work.
Dimensions:
Total height with plinth: approximately 47–48 cm
Width: approximately 26–27 cm
Depth: approximately 7–10 cm
This piece is in excellent condition. It represents a significant example of Mitoraj's editorial production in the 1980s, a period during which the artist refined his sculptural language blending modernity and classical heritage.
