Joan Miro (1893-1983) - Composition aux mains

Joan Miró — Composition with Hands, 1968
Original lithograph by Joan Miró · Artist's proof
Rare work from the artist's book Les Essències de la Terra (1968), an edition conceived with original lithographs made specifically for the volume and not distributed separately at the time. This circumstance makes the individual copies of the book—and especially the Epreuve de artiste—highly sought after pieces by collectors.
Composition aux Mains is signed in pencil by Joan Miró and bears the handwritten notation 'Epreuve de artiste,' which certifies its status as an artist's proof, separate from the standard commercial numbering and belonging to a particularly limited edition. The copy belongs to the exclusive high-quality editorial paper Guarro print.
The work was created and edited by La Polígrafa, Barcelona, one of the most prominent workshops closely linked to Joan Miró's graphic production.
