Fra sælgere
Jeg havde en Mitoraj-bronze i årevis og vidste ikke, hvordan jeg skulle sælge den privat. Svaret kom øjeblikkeligt og tilbuddet var fair. Alt blev håndteret diskret.
Solgte en arvet Centurione. Samleren vidste præcis, hvad det var, og kom med et seriøst tilbud inden for 24 timer. Enkelt og professionelt.
Ingen auktionsgebyrer, ingen ventetid. Jeg sendte billeder og modtog et tilbud samme dag. Betalingen var hurtig og sikker. Varmest anbefalet til enhver Mitoraj-ejer.
Auktionshuse opkræver sælgere 10–18% provision af hammerprisen — plus 4–12 uger til at behandle konsignationen, derefter endnu en måned til betaling. Hele processen tager måneder, og provisionen fratrækkes. Direkte salg betyder et tilbud samme dag og betaling inden for dage, uden nogen provision.
Jeg tilbyder baseret på aktuelle auktionsmarkedsniveauer. Jeg leder ikke efter billige tilbud — jeg leder efter værker til en seriøs samling og betaler derefter. Enhver henvendelse behandles med fuldstændig diskretion.
Jeg overvejer alle værker: bronzer, marmor, litografier, tegninger og unikke objekter. Enhver tilstand accepteres. Hvis du er usikker på, om det du ejer er ægte, vil jeg give dig en ærlig vurdering uden beregning og uden salgspligt.
Jeg er en samler bosiddende i Warszawa, der elsker Mitorajs værker og ønsker at tilføje til en personlig samling. Jeg køber direkte fra folk — uanset om du har arvet et stykke, købt det for år siden, eller blot føler, at det er tid til at sende det videre.
Intet stykke er for lille — jeg er lige så interesseret i en lille litografi som i en større bronze. Du er velkommen til at kontakte mig uden nogen form for pres.
Alle editioner og størrelser. Asclépios, Perseus, Tindaro, Eros — alt overvejes.
Originale udhuggede værker. Pietrasanta-stykker er særligt velkomne.
Tegninger, skitser, litografier, tryk og signerede multiples.
Lamper, keramik og andre enkeltstående værker.
Eksempler på værker, jeg søger og har erhvervet — bronzer, medaljer, krystal, hoveder og torsoer i Mitorajs karakteristiske stil.

Gold-tone cast bronze medal with a standing figure amid stars and crescent moons — signed Mitoraj on the reverse. ~12 cm diameter
A rare pâte de verre crystal sculpture commissioned by the legendary French glassmaker Daum (founded 1877). Depicting a fragmented head in Mitoraj's signature style, this numbered piece bridges his classical themes with the luxury craft tradition of Nancy. 7.5 × 8 × 4.5 cm
Two dark-patinated bronze head fragments — Centurione I (1987, ed. 250) and Centurione II (1987, ed. 1500) — from Mitoraj's celebrated Centurion series. Each piece depicts a partial face evoking the damaged grandeur of ancient Roman statuary, signed and from limited editions of 1500. I: ed. 250 · II: ed. 1500 · each approx. 19 cm height
A single dark bronze head from the Centurione II series (1987), green-patinated and signed Mitoraj at the neck, numbered from an edition of 1500. The horizontal band across the face — a recurring Mitoraj motif — alludes to blindness, mystery, and the passage of time. 18.5 × 14 × 6 cm
Two iconic bronze torsos from 1988 — Persée (Perseus) and Asclépios — each on a travertine base, signed and from numbered editions of 1000. The square apertures piercing chest and collarbone are Mitoraj's hallmark: windows into the mythological soul, merging classical beauty with postmodern fragmentation. 38 cm (without base) · 48 cm total
One of Mitoraj's most intimate early works (1978). A polished golden-patina bronze head entirely enveloped in bandages — the ultimate expression of concealment and interiority. Signed and numbered from an edition of 250, published by Artcurial, Paris. On its original black marble base. 12 cm (without base) · 20 cm total
A small circular gold-patinated bronze relief (c. 1980s), signed Mitoraj, set on a wooden base. Two faces emerge in subtle profile — noses and lips barely surfacing through the swathed surface — in a quiet dialogue across the disc. A rare and intimate multiple from a limited edition. ~9 cm diameter
A silver-patinated bronze head entirely enveloped in tightly wound horizontal bands — one of Mitoraj's most powerful recurring motifs. Only the lips break through the wrapping, evoking silence, mystery, and concealed identity. Signed and from a limited edition of 250, published by Artcurial, Paris. On its original black cubic base. 11.5 × 11 × 7 cm (without base) · approx. 20 cm total
Three Persée bronzes side by side: left in warm brown patina, centre and right in green patina — all from the 1988 edition of 1000 + HC. Each shows the characteristic rectangular chest aperture at the upper left pectoral and sits on a travertine base. 38 cm without base · 48 cm total.
The warm brown-patina Persée from 1988 — upper-left chest aperture confirms the identification. Signed MITORAJ on travertine base, numbered from edition of 1000 + HC. 38 cm without base · 48 cm total.
A small, intensely observed bronze portrait head from 1984 — medal patina, signed at the base, from an edition of 1000. 14.5 × 7 × 5 cm. One of Mitoraj's rare non-mythological subjects. The rectangular aperture in the chest is characteristic of both Persée and Asclépios.
Second Persée bronze, 1988 — showing the sculpture from a different angle, emphasising the depth of the chest void and the quality of the green oxidised patina. Signed MITORAJ. 38 cm without base · 48 cm total.
The warm brown-patina variant of Asclépios 1988 — same edition (1000 + HC) as the standard green. The central chest aperture — symbol of the god of medicine — is clearly visible. Signed MITORAJ, numbered on reverse. 38 × 28 × 14 cm without base · 48 cm total.
A female torso in dark copper-brown bronze — two delicate hands emerge from the fragmentary body, one cupping the chest, one at the waist, in an intimate gesture of self-embrace. Artcurial edition, 1979. Signed and numbered from an edition of 250, on an original round travertine base. 20 × 14 × 7 cm (sculpture) · 28.5 × 14 × 10 cm overall
A striking sanguine (red chalk) lithograph depicting Tindareos — the mythological King of Sparta and father of Helen of Troy, rendered as a bandaged and fragmented head in fluid, gestural sanguine strokes on white paper. Signed Mitoraj lower right in pencil. A rare original signed print — Mitoraj's graphic works on paper are considerably scarcer than his bronzes.
A fragment of a lower face — lips, chin, neck merging into an upper torso — in warm reddish-brown patina. Signed MITORAJ at the lower left edge of the base. A collector bronze meant to be encountered at close range: complete despite its incompleteness.
A gilded bronze head entirely enveloped in draped fabric, mounted on a dark veined marble base. The gold patina and abstract rounded form of fabric folds make this one of Mitoraj's most enigmatic works — concealment as its own revelation.
A small silver-plated bronze bust — wrapped head and bound torso on a black marble base. The high-mirror chrome patina is exceptional among Mitoraj editions; the binding motif here reads as both punishment and protection, faithful to the myth of Prometheus chained. Signed MITORAJ.
A bronze breastplate (corazza) from 1987 — one of only five cast. The Corazza belongs to Mitoraj's late-1980s series of armoured and bound forms, in which the body is simultaneously protected and constrained by the same gesture. Signed MITORAJ. Edition of 25. approx. 25 × 29 × 10.5 cm
The wrapped bronze torso upright — the X-crossing of the binding straps across the chest clearly visible. Warm golden-brown patina. Signed MITORAJ. approx. 28–30 cm height
High-contrast monochrome of the wrapped torso — the diagonal X-crossing of the binding straps reads as pure geometry against the dark patina. The sculptural tension between concealment and form is most visible here.
The torso from the side — the horizontal binding at the waist and the warm, polished bronze of the chest in full light. The deliberate fragmenting of neck and arms is particularly evident from this angle.
A second view of the torso lying on its side — the depth of the bronze casting and the layered wrapping at the lower body. The ragged, open neck and shoulder edges are characteristic of Mitoraj's broken-body aesthetic.
A large frosted crystal sculpture — lips, nose and cheekbone emerging from the translucent surface in characteristic Mitoraj profile. The matte glass gives the face an ethereal, luminous quality. On a dark display base.
The most remarkable detail: a classical intaglio relief — a figure with flowing hair, looking upward — carved into the hollow interior of the crystal head. An interior world within the fragment.
The full form of Saturnia shown upright — the scale of the head fragment is clear. The ragged upper edge and the deep hollowing are the piece's defining features.
Light passing through the frosted crystal from behind — the translucent quality of the glass and the organic contours of the face lit from within. The sculpture transforms completely under backlighting.
A small golden-patinated bronze torso tightly bound by horizontal wrapping straps, on a polished black marble base. The characteristic Mitoraj gesture: the body simultaneously armoured and constrained.
Close view of the diagonal strap crossing the chest and the intricate surface modelling of the bound torso.
Full view on its black marble pedestal, showing the proportions of the sculpture and the clean geometric base that grounds the fragmentary figure.
Persée (1988) and Asclépios (1988) side by side — both in warm brown patina, each on its travertine base. The two canonical Mitoraj torsos of the late 1980s, united in a single view.
A small collector bronze of Ikaria — Mitoraj's winged figure, symbol of desire and flight that mirrors the myth of Icarus. Signed Mitoraj.
A bronze medal from the Conversation series — two faces in quiet dialogue across the disc. Signed Mitoraj.

Large dark green-patinated Centurione I bronze head on a white marble cube base. The fragmented face tilted upward, characteristic of Mitoraj's centurion series. Ed. 250 · signed MITORAJ.

Centurione II green-patinated bronze head, 1987 — the horizontal band across the face, Mitoraj's signature motif. Signed MITORAJ. Ed. 1500.

Auction houses provide price transparency, but they charge sellers 10–18% commission on the hammer price, require 4–12 weeks for consignment processing, and then a further 4–8 weeks for payment after the sale. For a Mitoraj bronze that achieves €25,000 at hammer, a seller paying 15% commission nets around €21,000 — after a wait of four to six months. Selling directly to me means an offer the same day, payment within days, and no commission deducted from the price you receive.
I pay based on current auction market levels. I am not looking for bargains — I am looking for works to add to a serious collection, and I pay accordingly. Every enquiry is treated with complete discretion: your name, your address, and any details of the work you share are never disclosed to any third party.
Several factors determine the market value of any Mitoraj work. Edition size is the most important: an Artcurial edition of 8 (Prométhée) is incomparably rarer than an edition of 1500 (Centurione II). Scale matters enormously — a 40 cm bronze is worth three to four times more than a 20 cm example of the same subject. Condition of the patina is critical; over-cleaned or restored bronzes lose significant value. Provenance — a certificate from Atelier Mitoraj, or an auction record — adds confidence but is rarely decisive for well-documented editions. The original base(travertine, marble, or wood depending on the work) adds to the value of most desktop bronzes.
I consider works in any condition, with or without certificates, with or without original bases. If you are unsure whether what you own is genuine, I will give you an honest assessment — there is no obligation to sell.
The Mitoraj market has strengthened considerably since the record 2025 Warsaw auction in which Tindaro achieved PLN 6.89 million (approximately €1.6 million) — the highest price ever paid for a Mitoraj at Polish auction. This result confirmed the depth of Polish and international collector interest in his work. Early Artcurial editions (Tête Secrète, Kea, Prométhée) are among the most sought-after in the secondary market.

Mitoraj blev født i Tyskland af en polsk mor og en fransk far, studerede ved Kunstakademiet i Kraków under Tadeusz Kantor, inden han etablerede sit atelier i Pietrasanta, Italien — ved de samme stenhuggere, der forsynede Michelangelo.
Hans fragmenterede figurer — forbundne, afskårne, rolige — hentede inspiration fra den klassiske oldtid, mens de fuldt ud udtalte sig om den moderne tilstand. Hans værker står i London, Paris, Pompeji og i samlinger verden over.

Jeg giver enkle, ærlige tilbud. Ingen komplicerede vurderinger, intet pres — bare en fair og enkel samtale.

Igor Mitoraj blev født i Oederan, Tyskland i 1944 af en polsk mor og en fransk far og voksede op i Polen nær Kraków. Han studerede maleri under Tadeusz Kantor ved Kunstakademiet i Kraków og rejste derefter til Paris i 1968 for at studere ved École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts. Hans karriere som billedhugger blev lanceret med en solooudstilling på Galerie La Hune i Paris i 1976.
Hans karakteristiske vokabular — afskårne torsoer, forbundne hoveder, fragmenterede lemmer, rektangulære åbninger gennem kroppen — hentede inspiration fra græsk og romersk skulptur, mens det fuldt ud adresserede den moderne tilstand. Hans offentlige bestillinger står i Pompeji, London, Paris, Rom, Milano, Warszawa, Kraków og i hele Asien.
Mitoraj døde i Paris den 6. oktober 2014 og er begravet i Pietrasanta. Siden hans død er hans marked styrket betydeligt — drevet af en rekordauktion i Warszawa i 2025, hvor hans monumentale Tindaro blev solgt for €1,6 mio.

Ægte Mitoraj-bronzer bærer en indgraveret (ikke støbt) signatur — MITORAJ med store bogstaver eller igor mitoraj med små bogstaver for tidlige værker — ved nakkebasen eller den nedre del af torso. Et udgavenummer i formatet n/total vises på bagsiden. Støbemærker fra Pietrasanta-støberier er almindelige. Send mig et foto af signaturen, udgavenummeret og det samlede stykke, og jeg giver dig en ærlig vurdering gratis.
Værdien afhænger af værket, editionens størrelse, skala, tilstand og det aktuelle marked. Tidlige Artcurial-editioner (Tête Secrète, Kea, Prométhée) er de mest eftertragtede. Send mig et foto, og jeg giver dig en ærlig vurdering.
Nej. Certifikater fra Atelier Mitoraj i Pietrasanta er værdifulde, men ikke påkrævede — signaturen, udgavenummeret og støbemærket er de primære autentificeringsmarkører. Mange ægte værker cirkulerer uden certifikater, særligt dem solgt via gallerier i 1980'erne og 1990'erne. Jeg køber værker med og uden dokumentation og vil rådgive om at skaffe et certifikat, hvis nødvendigt.
Jeg svarer på hver besked personligt, normalt inden for et par timer og altid inden for 24 timer. Der er intet automatiseret svarssystem — du hører direkte fra mig. Sender du et foto, vil jeg inkludere en specifik vurdering af dit værk i mit svar.

Conversation with a Shadow (1994) stands as one of Mitoraj's most compelling bronze sculptures. Cast in patinated bronze with characteristic classical proportions, this monumental work exemplifies his dialogue between ancient forms and contemporary alienation. The figure's smooth, idealized surfaces contrast with fragmented elements, creating psychological tension. For collectors, this piece represents Mitoraj's mature period when his work gained international recognition. Its museum-quality provenance and thematic depth make it a cornerstone acquisition for serious contemporary sculpture enthusiasts.
The Mitoraj market demonstrates stable growth through 2025-2026, with bronze sculptures commanding premium valuations. Major auction houses report increased interest from European and Asian collectors. Works from his 1990s period—his artistic peak—appreciate consistently. Market demand favors pieces with documented exhibition history and impeccable provenance. Investment-grade bronzes ranging from 100,000 to 500,000 EUR show strongest liquidity. Polish institutional recognition enhances long-term value stability for collectors.
Prometheus (1999), a monumental bronze sculpture, exemplifies Mitoraj's mythological engagement. This work merges classical heroism with modern existential themes. The figure's powerful yet vulnerable posture speaks to contemporary audiences. Currently held in selective private collections, museum interest continues rising. Acquisition potential remains exceptional for forward-thinking collectors seeking major sculptural statements.
Igor Mitoraj trained extensively in Italy and deeply studied classical sculpture. His bronze-casting techniques derived from Renaissance masters, yet his aesthetic vocabulary remained distinctly modern. This fusion of ancient methods with contemporary sensibility defines his artistic legacy and distinguishes his works from peers.
