Igor Mitoraj (1944–2014) – Asclepius – Bronze With Green Patina – Signed And Numbered Hc

Bronze sculpture with a nuanced green patina titled *Asclepius*, a work by the Franco-Polish sculptor Igor Mitoraj (1944–2014).

The work depicts a fragmentary male torso, of which only the lower part of the face, the neck, the chest, and one shoulder remain.

Inspired by ancient Greco-Roman statuary, this composition explores one of the artist’s signature themes: the depiction of the fragmented human body, evoking archaeological remains.

The anatomical modeling is punctuated by incisions and geometric elements. A diagonal line crosses the chest, while a small square in relief appears on the torso. A second motif, set within a square frame, depicts a stylized hand.

The title Asclepius refers to the Greek god of medicine and healing.

Bronze with a green patina featuring brown hues, resting on a quadrangular base of light-colored stone.

The sculpture bears the engraved signature “Igor Mitoraj,” as well as the inscription “B4/1000 HC,” corresponding to a numbered series marked “not for sale.”

Second half of the 20th century.

Total height: 46.5 cm.
