Miguel Ortiz Berrocal (Villanueva de Algaidas, Málaga, 1933 – Antequera

Descriptio Dimensions: 30 × 20 × 16 cm. Patinated and polished bronze. Numbered copy 132/500. This sculpture, made of patinated and polished bronze, belongs to the celebrated “Lorelei” series, one of the most renowned creations of the Spanish sculptor Miguel Ortiz Berrocal. Conceived between 1981 and 1986, the work synthesizes the artist’s characteristic language, based on volumetric fragmentation, the assembly of movable parts, and the dialogue between sculpture, engineering, and design. The female head, inspired by the legendary Lorelei of Germanic mythology, incorporates a detachable mask and an ingenious system of interchangeable elements, reflecting Berrocal’s fascination with transformable sculptures. This edition is copy number 134 of a limited edition of 500. It has one flaw: one of the pearls on the interchangeable mouthpiece is missing, a circumstance that does not detract from the quality or collector’s interest of the piece. Miguel Ortiz Berrocal is one of the most internationally renowned Spanish sculptors of the 20th century, represented in important museums and collections around the world, and is especially appreciated for his innovative demountable sculptures that merge art, mathematics and engineering.
