Full Description
This is the first time a Dutch museum has devoted an exhibition exclusively to the three-dimensional work of Joan Miró. Thanks to close cooperation with renowned museum partners and public collections, including the Fundació Joan Miró and the Fondation Maeght, 55 sculptures by the Catalan grandmaster of surrealism will be shown to the public. The selection includes some plaster models never before exhibited in a museum. The exhibition is accompanied by this richly illustrated publication, which, among other things, details the artist's working methods and the symbolism of his sculpture.
