Limited edition ‘Olympic Torso’ bronze puzzle sculpture that was presented to Canadian Olympic administrator James Worrall in 1986. Designed by Spanish artist Miguel Berrocal, the statuette, numbered 27/250, 127 mm in height and 55 mm in diameter, features an abstract multilayered male torso with the uppermost section topped with the Olympic rings. The lower portion is engraved with the artist's name. Completed with the original presentation case, signed pamphlet, and certificate of authenticity, which states: “This sculpture is specially created by the Artist for the Comite International Olympique. 250 exemplars in bronze are lost-wax cast, signed and numbered from 1/250 to 250/250.” The underside of the presentation case, which bears some soiling, features an affixed label issued to “Monsieur James Worrall, c/o Ontario Sports Center.”
From the estate of James Worrall.
