Joan Miró
Untitled, 1961 (Album 19, M.256)

1961

About the Item

Untitled (M.256) from the Album 19 suite is a lithograph on paper, image size 26.25 x 20 inches and framed in a contemporary, black wood frame, colors vibrant, initialed 'M.' lower right and annotated lower left. Catalogues - Maeght vol. II (fr.), #256; Cramer #70 From the total edition of 90, numbered 42/75 (there were also 15 HC numbered I/XV - XV/XV). Although widely associated with the Surrealist movement, Joan Miró never joined the renowned artist group that flourished out of Paris during the early twentieth century. His art was a reinvention of standard principles that fought against the canons of the day and in turn any bourgeois association with the high art of painting. Miró’s unconventional style produced a breadth of work, from ceramics sculptures to multiples, that highlighted his desire to work across mediums. During the aftermath of WWII, Miró reveled in the production of lithography. Playing with the combination of image and text, he created rhythmic sequences that according to the director of the Joan Miró Foundation in Barcelona, Rosa Maria Malez, “abandoned the controlled execution of the fifties in favour of the gesture…a new form of brushstroke.” (1) By the 1960’s Miro’s working relationship with various publishing houses lead to the production of numerous illustrated books that Album 19 is a product of. Like Picasso before him, Miró was seen to take a child-like approach to his art. As stated by the surrealist writer, Michel Leiris, “The game of constructing things, a wonderful game of childhood or adolescence, is found in an almost pure state in Miró’s lithographs...through changes or permutations of color, changes of background, changes of direction, etc.” (2) Completed in 1961, Miró’s Album 19 is a perfect representation of this period in his artistic oeuvre.

There he studied under Kenyon Cox, Frank Vincent Dumond, and Birge Harrison. Later, he began taking night classes from Robert Henri at the New York School of Art.

  • Alexander Liberman book, hand signed by both Alexander Liberman and Barbara Rose
    By Alexander Liberman
    Located in New York, NY
    Alexander Liberman, hand signed and inscribed by both Alexander Liberman and Barbara Rose, and accompanied by a separate hand signed note, 1981 Hardback monograph (hand signed and inscribed by Alexander Liberman as well as art historian Barbara Rose), plus accompanied by a separate handwritten card signed by Liberman in the original envelope Warmly signed and inscribed on the monograph and card by Alexander Liberman and hand signed by Barbara Rose on the first front end page 13 1/4 × 12 1/4 × 1 3/4 inches A unique and memorable gift for any collector or fan of the sculptor Alexander Liberman! This lavishly illustrated hardback monograph with dust jacket is warmly signed and inscribed on the first front end page by both Alexander Liberman and the author, art historian, Barbara Rose, and it is accompanied by a separate handwritten card, signed by Alexander Liberman and held in the original envelope. (see photos). The book and card was inscribed to Jack Haber, the Editor-in-Chief of the magazine Gentlemen's Quarterly (GQ) from 1969 to 1983. GQ was owned by Conde Nast, and Alexander Liberman, who worked for Conde Nast for 32 years, was the Editorial Director from 1962-1983. Sadly, Jack Haber would die in 1984 at the age of 45 - one of the first casualties of the AIDS crisis, which was devastating to the art and publishing industries. Inscription on the monograph reads: To Jack Haber with warm friendship Alexander Liberman Inscription on the card reads: Dear Jack [Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year] with warm friendship Alex Book information: Publisher: Abbeville Press, 1981. Hardcover. Bound in publisher's original white cloth with spine and front cover stamped in black. Full color illustrations throughout, including several color foldouts. 392 pages. About Alexander Liberman: Considered a revolutionary Minimalist artist, Alexander Liberman produced works that predated the movement by more than a decade. Liberman, not wanting to limit himself to any one form of expression, worked to produce radically minimalist paintings and sculpture in order to illuminate his beliefs about celestial motion, the movement of the eye, as well as human sexuality. The artist’s fascination with American industrialization and modernization ultimately resulted in his widely known red steel sculptures and geometric paintings, which seem to decompose the turbulence of the time period. Alexander Liberman was born in 1912 in Kiev, Russia. He studied first in London and then in Paris. He took courses in philosophy and mathematics at the Sorbonne and architecture at L’École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Liberman has had numerous solo exhibitions at museums such as the Jewish Museum, New York (1966); Storm King Art Center, Mountainville, NY (1970); and the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, DC (1970). His sculpture and paintings are included in the museum collections of the Art Institute, Chicago; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; the Hirshhorn Museum & Sculpture Garden, Washington, DC; the Tate Gallery, London and many others. Additionally his public sculpture can be seen in over 40 cities around the world including Honolulu, Los Angeles, Miami, New Haven, New York, Oklahoma City and Philadelphia. Alexander Liberman died in November of 1999 at the age of 87. - Courtesy of Mitchell-Innes & Nass About Barbara Rose: Barbara Ellen Rose (June 11, 1936 – December 25, 2020) was an American art historian, art critic, curator and college professor. Rose's criticism focused on 20th-century American art, particularly minimalism and abstract expressionism, as well as Spanish art. "ABC Art...
