To dość niezwykła kolekcja rzeźb Igora Mitoraja na sukcji w Amero Auctions na Florydzie. Większość rzeźb, za wyjątkiem dwóch, to prace niskonakładowe, właściwie wykonane w kilku egzemplarzach. W późniejszym okresie, chyba francuski Artcurial zabrał się za masową produkcję niektórych spośród nich i te (w zasadzie bezwartościowe) nakłady sięgają kilku tysięcy egzemplarzu i są w ciągłej sprzedaży, również w Polsce. Rzeźby z obecnej aukcji są chyba pomiejszone w stosunku do wielkich orginałów lecz ich zaletą jest ten niski nakład oraz wymiar pozwalający na ekspozycję w domu. Prezentuję je wszytkie z aukcji oczekując zaskoczenia w przebiciach bardzo niskich cen estymacyjnych.
