Mitoraj at Pompeii — The 2016 Exhibition
In 2016 Mitoraj's sculptures were installed among the ruins of Pompeii in what became one of the most celebrated temporary exhibitions of that decade. Thirty works were positioned across the ancient city — in the Forum, the theatres, the Temple of Venus — in locations personally chosen by Mitoraj before his death in 2014. The dialogue between his fragmented contemporary figures and the fractured remains of Roman civilisation was considered definitive proof of his artistic vision. One work, Daedalus, was gifted permanently to Italy and remains in Pompeii. The exhibition catalogue is an important reference for collectors and scholars, documenting installation photographs and curatorial essays.
