Authors: Jacques Dupin and Ariane Lelong-Mainaud. Publishers: Daniel Lelong and Successió Miró. Paris and Palma de Mallorca, 2008–2018. English edition. Hardcover with illustrated dust jackets. All six volumes retain their protective plastic wrap. Dimensions: 33 x 26 cm (each volume). Complete set of the six volumes of the catalog raisonné of Joan Miró’s drawings, one of the fundamental reference publications for the study of his artistic output. Compiled by Jacques Dupin and Ariane Lelong-Mainaud, in collaboration with the Successió Miró, this monumental work brings together and documents the drawings created by the artist between 1901 and 1981, offering a comprehensive overview of eight decades of creative output. The publication is organized chronologically into six volumes: I (1901–1937), II (1938–1959), III (1960–1972), IV (1973–1976), V (1977), and VI (1978–1981). Each work is accompanied by its corresponding reproduction and catalog entry, including information on technique, medium, dimensions, inscriptions, provenance, exhibitions, and bibliography. Together, these works trace the evolution of Miró’s artistic language, from his early drawings and surrealist explorations to the extraordinary gestural and expressive freedom of his mature period. Jacques Dupin, a French poet, critic, and art historian, was one of the leading specialists on Miró’s work, with whom he maintained a close relationship. His work, continued in collaboration with Ariane Lelong-Mainaud, proved decisive for the systematization and study of the artist’s legacy. This collection serves as a bibliographic resource of particular interest to researchers, collectors, and art market professionals.
