Joan MIRO Barcelona 1964 Original Color Lithograph/Print Dated, Signed in Plate AWESOME!

Fine Art : Printmaking

 

An original color Lithograph by Joan Miró, full of life and happiness, and created in 1964 for a celebration of his city of birth: Barcelona.

The piece is clearly dated and has besides Miro's signature in the plate (meaning, printed together with the lithograph image) in the upper left part (see pic)

I have checked and the work is in the official Cramer catalog of Miró's lithographs Volume # 3 (1964-1969) .

It is mentioned there as an unnumbered edition of 1000.

The colors are the famous Miro's primary colors with the usual black streaks on an off-white artist's paper.

It has a lot of lightness and "élan", and nearly a musical quality!

I purchased the piece for my own collection 10 years ago, while still working as an Art Consultant for reputable Galleries in California selling the Modern Masters, such as Bowles Sorokko, Martin Lawrence etc. (I enclose pic of a former business business card as documentation)

This was a private acquisition though, done independently from these galleries, but for many years, I did have daily access to large inventories of these works, and also to all the reference catalogs.

MEASUREMENTS: Length: 16". Width: 13"

CONDITION: The work was framed before and shows slight fading along a narrow border.

Also, the framing tape has remained at the back. No rips or holes. A few extremely light age specks. Very little visible.

In very good condition

The piece will be shipped Registered Airmail (very safe!) including insurance and signature at delivery.
