"Asclepios" (or Asclepius) is a famous sculpture from 1988 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 and 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.
On the torso are visible two square inserts (one on the clavicle and one on the chest). This geometric graft is a signature typical of the artist, creating a surreal and contemporary crack on the smooth surface.

This wonderful and rare patinated bronze sculpture by Master Igor Mitoraj, in a limited edition, will be shipped with insurance worldwide.
