Complete set of the catalog raisonné dedicated to Joan Miró’s graphic work, published by Daniel Lelong Éditeur. This edition constitutes an essential bibliographic reference for the study and cataloging of the artist’s printmaking and graphic production, from his earliest prints of 1928 to the works created in the final years of his career.

The various volumes document the development of Miró as a printmaker—a central aspect of his creative practice—in which the artist explored the expressive possibilities of line, mark, sign, and color with extraordinary freedom. Volume I is particularly noteworthy; its numbered edition includes three original woodcuts created by Miró for the book at Joan Barbarà’s workshop in Barcelona.

Due to its documentary value, its meticulous production, and the inclusion of original prints, this collection is of considerable interest to collectors, specialists, and libraries dedicated to the study of modern art.

Joan Miró was one of the leading figures in 20th-century art. Trained in Barcelona and associated with the Parisian avant-garde since the 1920s, he developed his own artistic language based on the sign, color, formal refinement, and intense poetic freedom. His work is represented in institutions such as the Fundació Joan Miró in Barcelona, the Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró in Palma, MoMA in New York, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, and the Tate in London.
