Here is an opportunity to own an exceptionally rare and highly collectible signed original color lithograph by celebrated Spanish artist Joan Miró (1893–1983). Created as part of the renowned Homenatge a Joan Prats series from 1971, this impression is distinguished by its large floating star in vivid blue.
Executed in Miró’s unmistakable visual language, the composition presents a dynamic arrangement of biomorphic forms, celestial symbols, expressive calligraphic marks and vibrant primary colors. The work embodies the artist’s signature synthesis of Surrealism, abstraction and poetic symbolism that made him one of the most influential figures of twentieth-century modern art.
The lithograph is signed by Joan Miro in pencil and has the HC (Hors Commerce) designation, indicating one of fifteen impressions reserved outside the standard edition and intended for special distribution. The lithograph is float mounted against a white background, with a black mat and presented in a large silver leaf frame.
Surrealist and Modernist collectors, here is an artwork with artistic and historical significance, that would make a statement in any collection.
Who was Joan Prats?
The Homenatge a Joan Prats portfolio was conceived as a tribute to Joan Prats, Miró’s longtime friend, supporter and one of the most important advocates of modern art in Catalonia. The series is widely admired for its imaginative forms, playful energy and sophisticated printmaking techniques, making it among the most desirable graphic works in Miró’s oeuvre.
