La chouette et l'escargot (Dupin 388). Original etching and aquatint, 1964.
This work was used by Aimé Maeght, Miro's dealer, as his New Year's card in 1964. Edition unknown but presumed small. (Etching is too fragile for large editions.) Another impression of this work is in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a gift, according to the Met's collection card, of former Met and MoMA curator William S. Lieberman. A beautiful, early, color etching. Since originally the only way to get one of these etcings was to receive it as a gift from Galerie Maeght, Paris, they are very difficult to come by. Image size: 172x114mm. Price: $3250.
