Artwork Condition: Excellent Condition. Colors are vivid, crisp, and extremely bright. Paper is clean, free of tears, creases, or trimming. The margins and original binding remain fully intact.


3. Other Artworks & Artistic Contributions in the Volume

The value of this issue is further enhanced by the presence of all other original artistic and graphic contributions integrated into the volume:

Joan Miró (Cover & In-text Illustrations):
1 original gouache created specifically by Miró for the volume's cover.
2 original black-and-white drawings within the text.
Roberto Matta: 1 full-page original drawing created as a tribute dedicated to Max Ernst.
Alexander Calder: Portrait and visual tribute to Gualtieri di San Lazzaro within the commemorative text.


4. Editorial Content & Art-Historical Significance

The volume XXe Siècle N° 46 ("Spécial Japon & Panorama 76", September 1976) is a fundamental reference publication for studies on the international avant-garde:

Dossier on the Japanese Avant-Garde: Extensive historical and critical section covering the Gutai, High Red Center, and Neo-Dada movements, featuring essays by Pierre Restany, Shuzo Takiguchi, and Ichiro Haryu.

Monographs & Articles: In-depth features on prominent artists such as Jiro Takamatsu, Shusaku Arakawa, Ay-O, and Toshimitsu Imai.

Commemorative Feature: Special text "San Lazzaro vivant" in memory of the magazine's founder.


5. Book & Publication Specifications

Publication Title: XXe Siècle N° 46 – Spécial Japon & Panorama 76

Finding a completely intact, original, and unrestored volume that preserves Miró's lithograph alongside all other graphic works and original texts is a rare and valuable opportunity for fine art collectors and bibliophiles alike.
