Complete set of the four volumes of the catalog raisonné of Joan Miró’s prints, an essential publication for the study and cataloging of his graphic work. Compiled by Jacques Dupin and published by Daniel Lelong Éditeur, it documents the artist’s print production from 1928 to 1983 through numerous reproductions and entries detailing the technical characteristics, editions, and bibliographic references of the works.

Of particular interest is the inclusion of original woodcuts created specifically by Miró for these volumes, which appear on the dust jackets and inside the books. The publication traces the evolution of his visual language, from his earliest experiments with printmaking to the compositions of his mature period, characterized by great freedom of gesture and color.

Jacques Dupin, a French poet, critic, and art historian, was one of the leading experts on Miró, with whom he maintained a close relationship. His research proved decisive for documenting and systematizing the artist’s legacy, making this catalog raisonné an indispensable reference for researchers and collectors.
