About the Item

This exquisite lithograph by Joan Gardy Artigas (born 1938), titled Sans titre (Untitled), originates from the historic 1982 folio Derriere le Miroir, No. 250, Hommage a Aime et Marguerite Maeght (Tribute to Aime and Marguerite Maeght). Published by Maeght Editeur, Paris, under the direction of Aime Maeght, and printed by Imprimerie Moderne du Lion, Paris, this composition reflects Gardy Artigas’s deep engagement with material, form, and abstraction. In Sans titre, the artist translates his sculptural sensibility into a dynamic two-dimensional composition, balancing fluid gestures and structured form with poetic precision. The work resonates with his lifelong exploration of the relationships between color, matter, and space—an elegant extension of his renowned sculptural and ceramic practice. Executed on velin paper, this lithograph measures 15 x 11 inches (38.1 x 27.9 cm). As issued, it is unsigned and unnumbered, consistent with the authorized publication format. The edition embodies Gardy Artigas’s refined sense of balance between spontaneity and structure, offering a lyrical interpretation of modern abstraction. Artwork Details: Artist: Joan Gardy Artigas (born 1938) Title: Sans titre (Untitled), from Derriere le Miroir, No. 250, Hommage a Aime et Marguerite Maeght (Tribute to Aime and Marguerite Maeght), 1982 Medium: Lithograph on velin paper Dimensions: 15 x 11 inches (38.1 x 27.9 cm) Inscription: Unsigned and unnumbered, as issued Date: 1982 Publisher: Maeght Editeur, Paris Printer: Imprimerie Moderne du Lion, Paris Condition: Well preserved, consistent with age and medium Provenance: From the 1982 folio Derriere le Miroir, No. 250, published by Maeght Editeur, Paris Notes: Excerpted from the folio (translated from French), This special issue of Derriere le Miroir was designed and defined by Aime Maeght in the fall of 1980. He envisioned its publication as a celebration with which artists and writers published since 1946 were to be associated. He also chose Francois Chapon, president of the Reverdy Committee, to write the presentation. This Derriere le Miroir number 250 took the form, after its disappearance on September 5, 1981, of a tribute to Aime Maeght and his wife Marguerite Maeght who died four years earlier. 24 artists agreed to create an original graphic work for this issue which includes the general table of all issues as well as excerpts from texts by 32 writers. Finished printing on June 2, 1982 on the presses of the l'Imprimerie moderne du Lion in Paris. CL examples were printed on velin d'Arches, numbered from I to CL, and some non-commercial examples constituting the original edition. About the Publication: Derriere le Miroir (translated as "Behind the Mirror") was an iconic French art periodical published from 1946 to 1982 by Maeght Editeur, one of the most influential art publishers of the 20th century. Founded by Aime Maeght in Paris, the publication was conceived as a visual and literary collaboration between leading modern artists, poets, and critics. Each issue functioned as both an exhibition catalogue and a work of art in itself—featuring original lithographs printed directly from the artists' stones or plates, alongside essays, poems, and critical commentary. Over the course of 36 years, Derriere le Miroir produced more than 250 issues and showcased an extraordinary roster of artists including Henri Matisse, Marc Chagall, Joan Miro, Georges Braque, Alexander Calder, Fernand Leger, Pierre Bonnard, Alberto Giacometti, Eduardo Chillida, Ellsworth Kelly, Francis Bacon, Paul Rebeyrolle, Claude Garache, Antoni Tapies, Bram van Velde, Pierre Alechinsky, Pol Bury, Shusaku Arakawa, and Gerard Titus-Carmel. Printed in the ateliers of Mourlot, Arte, and Imprimerie Moderne du Lion, the periodical set new standards for quality in color lithography, combining fine art printing with elegant typography and poetic text. Beyond its visual brilliance, Derriere le Miroir also became a cultural chronicle of postwar European modernism. Each issue coincided with exhibitions held at Galerie Maeght, providing a collectible and widely accessible record of groundbreaking shows. Its integration of image, text, and philosophy created a dialogue between art and literature that elevated the modern art book to new aesthetic heights. Today, Derriere le Miroir remains one of the most sought-after and historically significant art publications, prized by collectors and scholars alike for its craftsmanship, influence, and its role in defining the visual language of 20th-century modernism. The Maeght Foundation in Saint-Paul-de-Vence continues to honor this legacy through exhibitions and archival preservation of the series, affirming Derriere le Miroir's enduring place in the history of modern art and fine art publishing. About the Artist: Joan Gardy Artigas (born 1938) is a Spanish ceramicist, sculptor, and painter internationally recognized for his innovative collaborations with the leading artists of the 20th century and for his own masterful fusion of form, color, and texture. The son of renowned ceramicist Josep Llorens Artigas, he was influenced by modernist icons including Joan Miro, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Alexander Calder, Marc Chagall, Salvador Dali, Georges Braque, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray, contributing to some of the most celebrated ceramic and sculptural projects of the modern era. Building on this legacy, Gardy Artigas developed a personal artistic language that merges the traditions of Mediterranean craftsmanship with the abstraction and lyricism of modern art. His works—ranging from monumental public installations to refined studio ceramics—reflect a lifelong dialogue between material, form, and color. Exhibited internationally and represented in major collections worldwide, Gardy Artigas continues to be revered as one of the foremost interpreters of the modern ceramic tradition. The highest price ever paid for a Joan Gardy Artigas artwork at auction is approximately $90,000 USD, achieved in 2020 at Sotheby’s London for a collaborative ceramic with Joan Miro, Femme et Oiseaux (1970).
