Scope and art-historical significance

The volume documents Miró’s lithographic work during the 1950s and early 1960s.

In addition to the eleven original lithographs, it contains numerous color and black-and-white plate images, detailed descriptions, bibliographic references, and information on printers, publishers, formats, and editions.

Special collector’s value

The eleven original lithographs constitute a substantial autonomous value component of this edition.

If marketed separately, a cumulative sale value of over €1,000 would generally be possible for the eleven original lithographs, depending on condition, demand, and attainable individual prices. This is a non-binding estimate and not a proven or guaranteed resale value.

Particularly attractive is that the original lithographs are preserved here in the original context of the numbered catalog raisonné volume.
