An exceptional opportunity to acquire a rare bronze sculpture by renowned 20th-century sculptor Enzo Plazzotta.
Titled Jeté, this dynamic work captures David Wall CBE, Principal of The Royal Ballet, suspended mid-leap in a moment of exquisite grace and tension. Originally conceived in the 1970s, Jeté reflects Plazzotta’s deep fascination with movement, balance, and the human form. These themes were shaped over many years by his close association with dancers from The Royal Ballet.
Every detail, from the anatomical precision to the sense of suspended motion, exemplifies Plazzotta’s mastery in translating fleeting movement into solid bronze. This edition echoes the celebrated public sculpture located near in London.
Offered from a private collection through a bankruptcy estate, with full legal clearance, this is a rare chance to acquire an important piece by a sculptor whose reputation and market continue to grow.
