AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A water jug that looks back, a painted pebble, and two monumental walls for UNESCO in Paris show what Joan Miró and Josep Llorens Artigas made from clay, glaze, and color. Two original color lithographs by Miró, each spanning a double-page spread, accompany this high-quality catalogue raisonné.
José Pierre and José Corredor-Matheos, Miró & Artigas. Ceramics. Translated from the French by Herbert Meier.
Bern, Benteli Verlag, 1981. Second German-language edition. 229 pages with 365 illustrations, some in color, and two bound-in original color lithographs by Joan Miró, each spanning a double-page spread. Original orange cloth binding with white cover lettering and an original illustrated color dust jacket. FOLIO 29 x 30 cm.
--------------------------------------
On a large water jug from 1962, two black dots and a few bold strokes are enough to turn the rough vessel wall into a face. On plates, tiles, and irregular fragments, Miró’s birds, eyes, and moons repeatedly take on new forms. The large-format illustrations also bring out the surfaces, from grainy clay to glossy glaze.
Photographs from the workshop show Miró and Artigas working together. The monumental scale they achieved in their ceramics is particularly evident in the Sun Wall and Moon Wall made for UNESCO’s Paris headquarters. Black lines, red fields of color, and a luminous blue crescent moon extend across the joints between the fired tiles. The book shows both walls across a double-page spread in their architectural setting.
The two original color lithographs each occupy an entire double-page spread. In one, a white crescent moon stands out against a densely speckled background, surrounded by black stars and bold areas of red, blue, and yellow. As you leaf through the book, you encounter the same motifs both on fired clay and in Miró’s original prints.

Immaculately preserved, nearly as new copy
