Lot 523 | Igor Mitoraj
(1944 in Oederan - 2014 Paris) nach
Paar Sessel-Objekte aus weißem Carrara-Marmor
Skulptural gestaltete Sessel mit stilisierten Gesichtern nach einem Entwurf des bekannten Bildhauers. Mitoraj ging 1968 zum Kunststudium nach Paris, wo er 1976 seinen künstlerischen Durchbruch schaffte. Ende der 1970er Jahre reiste er nach Carrara und Pietrasanta in die Toskana, wo er den weißen Marmor als künstlerisches Medium für seine monumentalen Skulpturen entdeckte. Das Hauptthema von Mitorajs oft torsohaften bzw. fragmentarisch gestalteten Skulpturen ist der menschliche Körper, seine Schönheit und Zerbrechlichkeit; durch gezielte Oberflächenbeschädigungen, Risse und weGelbgoldelassene Teile verfremdet er die Gesichter und Figuren in surrealistischer Weise. Seine Freiskulpturen stehen außer in Paris an vielen Plätzen in Europa und Übersee. H. 66 cm.
