About the Item

This exquisite lithograph by Pierre Tal-Coat (1905–1985), 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 exemplifies Tal-Coat’s deeply intuitive abstraction inspired by the organic movement of nature. In Sans titre, color, gesture, and texture converge in an atmospheric field of spontaneous rhythm and layered pigment. The work radiates a quiet intensity, evoking the physicality of earth and air while revealing the artist’s meditative engagement with form and motion. Executed on velin paper, this lithograph measures 15 x 11 inches (38.1 x 27.9 cm). As issued, it is signed in the plate and unnumbered, consistent with the authorized publication format. The edition captures Tal-Coat’s lyrical synthesis of materiality and energy, balancing instinctive gesture with structural harmony. Artwork Details: Artist: Pierre Tal-Coat (1905–1985) 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: Signed in the plate 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: Pierre Tal-Coat (1905–1985) was a French painter and printmaker celebrated for his dynamic abstractions that bridge nature, gesture, and pure emotion. Emerging from the School of Paris, Tal-Coat began his career in the 1930s as a figurative artist before developing a distinctive abstract language rooted in the rhythms of the natural world. His paintings evoke movement and atmosphere through layered textures, spontaneous brushwork, and earthy tonal harmonies, capturing the vitality of landscapes and organic forms. Deeply engaged with the postwar avant-garde, Tal-Coat’s work aligns with the revolutionary spirit of modern masters such as Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Alexander Calder, Marc Chagall, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Georges Braque, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray—artists who, like Tal-Coat, redefined the boundaries between representation and abstraction. Over his prolific career, he exhibited internationally and collaborated with leading galleries including Galerie Maeght, where his works appeared alongside those of Miro, Chagall, and Calder. Today, his art is represented in major museums such as the Centre Pompidou, the Musee d’Art Moderne de Paris, and the Tate. The highest price ever paid for a Pierre Tal-Coat artwork at auction is approximately $430,000 USD, achieved in 2011 at Christie’s Paris for Etude pour le Polder (1961).
