Very limited original color lithograph on paper, HC (Hors Commerce). This original lithograph of 1970 was created as a catalogue image for the exhibition Miró the tapestry of Tarragona and constitutes a particularly representative synthesis of Joan Miró’s plastic structuring at his full maturity; the composition is built from a vibrant palette dominated by intense reds, deep blacks, blue-greens, and recurring primary colors characteristic of Miró’s work and used here with great expressive force. The abstract shapes, organic and spontaneous in character, are structured by decisive lines that add volume, visual weight, and dynamism. The balance between color and line creates a vivid, rhythmic scene charged with energy. The image admits an open poetic reading: the viewer may sense an evocation of dawn, with a red sun rising over the land while the sky begins to activate chromatically. This symbolic ambiguity, a hallmark of the Miró universe, reinforces the dreamlike narrative character of the work. The copy is monogrammed by hand with blue ink in the lower right corner and marked as H.C., indicating Hors Commerce, i.e., a non-commercial edition. Traditionally reserved for the artist, close collaborators, and not intended for sale within the ordinary commercial edition. This type of copy is particularly valued by collectors for its restricted and qualitative character.
The work was published by Sala Gaspar, Barcelona, a historic gallery closely linked to Joan Miró, and produced by the Foto-Repro workshop, a common collaborator in the artist’s graphic production during that period.
