Description
This is an exceptional example of a certified, authentic, original vintage lithograph poster from 1959, created by the legendary Surrealist master Joan Miró and published by the prestigious Galerie Maeght in Paris. This is not a reproduction—it is a genuine lithographic exhibition poster of museum quality, documenting a significant moment in post-war modern art history.
Miro (1893–1983) remains one of the most influential artists of the 20th century, celebrated for his distinctive abstract language combining biomorphic forms, vivid color, and poetic spontaneity. The iconic red circle against the blue field is quintessentially Miro—a signature compositional element that defined his artistic vision. Galerie Maeght, founded by art dealer Aimé Maeght in 1946, became a defining institution for modernism, representing Miro, Chagall, and other titans of contemporary art. This 1959 poster advertised a Miro exhibition at the gallery, making it a direct artifact of important art-historical documentation and curatorial practice.
Condition & Presentation: The poster measures 9 3/8″ × 12.5″ and is presented in a professional 16″ × 20″ acid-free archival museum mat, ensuring long-term preservation of this delicate work. The poster remains in very good condition with excellent color saturation and minimal wear, making it suitable for immediate display or further professional framing.
Collectibility & Investment: Original Miro lithographs from the 1950s are increasingly scarce and sought by collectors of modern and contemporary art worldwide. This piece represents both artistic significance and investment potential, combining Miro’s iconic design language with Galerie Maeght provenance—the gold standard of mid-century French art authentication. Works from this era have appreciated steadily in the fine art market.
Display & Framing: Already matted in archival materials, this poster can be displayed as-is or removed for custom framing. Perfect for galleries, offices, corporate collections, or serious collectors of 20th-century modernism.
