Derriere le Miroir in original wrappers,
with five color lithographs by Miro

Derriere le Miroir, with 5 original lithographs by Joan Miro

 

MIRO, Joan. Derriere le Miroir. No. 164/165: l'Oiseau Solaire, l'Oiseau Lunaire Etincelles. Folio, original lithographic wrappers. $975.

Original issue of Derriere le Miroir, with five color lithographs (including one tri-fold) by Miro. Derriere le Miroir, one of the premier fine art magazines of the 20th century, was first published by Aime Maeght in 1946. During its 36 year history, the magazine showcased the talents of some of the finest contemporary artists of the era including, among others, Miro, Picasso, Calder, Chagall, and Braque. Because issues are often bound together or mined for the lithographs, complete copies in original wrappers have become increasingly rare. Outer corner of issue lightly creased; extremely clean throughout.
