This piece is a standalone artwork, embodying miró’s bold visual language and his late-career fascination with texture, color, and material innovation. Produced in a very limited edition of only 65 examples, this work is among the rarest miró-related editions. Its unique support — burlap — is exceptionally uncommon in fine art printmaking, making this piece especially significant. The rough textile surface enhances the depth, tactility, and sculptural quality of the design, transforming the lithograph into an object of art rather than a simple print. Featuring vibrant blocks of red, yellow, and black, a handwritten-style title, and miró’s signature star motif, the composition radiates the surrealist energy and poetic abstraction that define his work. While the interior engravings of the original portfolio are not included, this cover itself is considered an autonomous artwork, prized for its rarity and material experimentation. In very good vintage condition, showing only minor wear consistent with age, this piece retains a rich patina that highlights its authenticity and presence. A remarkable collector’s item for admirers of joan miró, spanish surrealism, and postwar european modernism — and a rare opportunity to acquire a miró-related work printed on burlap.
