Joan Miró: Sans le soleil: The Signed Impressions
|
|
|
|
Sans le soleil is a set of meditations on a text by Heraclitus, a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher: "Without the sun, despite the other stars, it would be night." In 1965, Miró created a portfolio of etchings on this subject, all but one of which will be included in our show. The edition consisted of 75 signed portfolios containing 10 unsigned color etchings with aquatint. The first 25 portfolios also contained a set of 10 black and white etchings signed and numbered from 1/25 to 25/25 and a set of four compositions using one of the black plates and one of the color plates based upon a very elaborate signature, also in an edition of 25. The size of the paper (B. F. K. Rives or hand-made Auvergne Richard-de-Bas, is approximately 285x222mm. We have all ten of the color etchings (which come with a xerox of the justification page containing Miró's signature and the information about the edition) and all ten of the black and white etchings signed by Miró. We also have a set of proofs of nine of the black and white plates unsigned from a separate HC portfolio.
