Miró Prints and Books from New York Collections highlights the Museum’s extensive collection and supplements it with fine examples from local institutions and private collectors. These works in intaglio, lithography, woodcut, and pochoir demonstrate Miró’s special attraction to a variety of materials and techniques, and his characteristic inventiveness in using them.

Organized by Deborah Wye, curator, Department of Prints and Illustrated Books.

Joan Miró is sponsored by Argentaria, Corporación Bancaria de España.

Additional support for Joan Miró has been provided by the Generalitat of Catalonia (Autonomous Government of Catalonia), The International Council of The Museum of Modern Art, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
