This vibrant lithograph forms part of the acclaimed portfolio Oda a Joan Miró, created in 1973 as an homage to Miró’s own artistic universe. Regarded as one of the most beautiful and visually striking series of his mature career, the “Odas” stand out for their poetic energy and technical brilliance.
The edition is strictly limited to only 75 signed and numbered impressions, each signed by Miró himself in pencil.
Works from this series are exceptionally hard to find on the market, not only because of the very small edition size, but also due to strong demand among collectors who value the combination of rarity, scale, and the vibrant creative spirit that defines these prints.
The lower section of the image shows a gentle, age-related fading that has subtly lightened part of the original inks. This natural evolution of the work is stable and does not diminish its overall impact. We encourage prospective bidders to review the photographs carefully and judge the piece by its images. Despite this historic nuance, it remains a highly sought-after Miró from the Oda a Joan Miró series — rarely encountered today at auction or in galleries.
Produced by the renowned atelier La Polígrafa and published in Barcelona, this work is a superb example of Miró’s mastery of color and poetic abstraction. The composition radiates with bold, expressive forms and the sense of imaginative freedom that define Miró’s mature period.
