Miró. Sculptures. 1928-1982

Joan Miró’s engagement with sculpture marked one of the most radical expansions of his artistic language. Beginning with the constructions of the late 1920s and continuing through the monumental bronzes of his final years, Miró transformed ordinary objects, organic fragments, and industrial materials into enigmatic presences charged with humor, poetry, and primal energy. His sculptural practice dissolved distinctions between the found and the invented, the playful and the monumental, extending the biomorphic vocabulary of his painting into physical space. Working in bronze, iron, cement, resin, painted surfaces, and assemblage, Miró approached sculpture not as a secondary medium, but as a vital field of experimentation through which familiar things could be reimagined as figures, creatures, and signs.

Produced by Emilio Fernández Miró and Pilar Ortega Chapel, this authoritative catalogue raisonné provides the definitive record of that achievement. Conceived as the sculptural counterpart to the established catalogues of Miró’s paintings and prints, the single English-language volume documents the complete body of sculptures made between 1928 and 1982 through 440 reproductions, most in color. Entries are organized chronologically and provide essential information for each work, including title, date, medium, materials, foundry, dimensions, edition or number of casts, ownership, provenance, exhibition history, and bibliography. Both a scholarly reference and a richly illustrated survey, the volume offers an indispensable foundation for the study, authentication, collection, and appreciation of Miró’s sculpture.
