Przestałem rejestrować rzeźby Igora Mitoraja wynonane w ilości ponad 8 egzemplarzy. Zostawiam wyroby pamiątkarskie turystom. Ta rzeźba odlana została starym sposobem na wosk tracony i to jest podkreślone w katalogu. Jego Perseusze, Asklepsiosy i temu podobne prace wykonane w kilku tysiącach egzemparzy, cieszące się ogromnym powodzeniem polskich domów aukcyjnych, były tworzone uderzeniem sztancy w grubą blachę.

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.
