Torso / Self-Portrait 6 has several versions, with the full name emerging only when the place where the sculpture is erected is known. For example, in 2009 a cast of the Torso was placed in the Zuiderzeemuseum in Enkhuizen as Torso ZZM / Self-Portrait 6 and in 2016 the Torso RM / Self-Portrait 6 in the gardens of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. The third was cast in 2021 and displayed as Torso Numa / Self-Portrait 6 in the gardens of Fundació Numa Espais de Cultura, Menorca, Spain

Fragmented sculpture
The Torso Belvedere is known in art history as the symbol of classical sculpture. This statue has been part of the collection of the Vatican Museums since 1500. The head, arms and lower legs are missing and precisely because of this fragmented, many were very impressed by this statue.

Michelangelo and the Torso Belvedere
Michelangelo was fascinated by The Torso Belvedere with its the powerful body expression precisely because of what is missing. The story goes that he was asked to restore the fragment, which he declined.

Artist, artwork and art tradition in one sculpture
In Milan I bought an exact plaster copy of this fragment and embraced it with a silicone copy of my skin. This was then cast in bronze and fused with it into one piece. I thus became part of of art history. Because you are not only what you eat, only what you see
