Joan Miro (1893-1983) - Composición aux mains

Joan Miró — Composition with Hands, 1968
Original lithograph by Joan Miró · Artist's proof
A rare work from the artist's book Les Essències de la Terra (1968), an edition conceived with original lithographs made especially for the volume and not distributed loose in origin. This circumstance makes the individual copies of the book—and especially the Artist's Proofs—highly coveted by collectors.
Composition aux Mains is signed in pencil by Joan Miró and bears the handwritten note “E´preuve de artiste,” which certifies its status as an artist's proof, separate from the standard commercial numbering and belonging to a specially reduced edition. The copy belongs to the exclusive print on high-quality editorial Guarro paper.
The work was created and published by La Polígrafa, Barcelona, one of the most relevant studios closely linked to the graphic production of Joan Miró.
