Authors: Jacques Dupin and Ariane Lelong-Mainaud. Publishers: Daniel Lelong Éditeur and Successió Miró. Paris, 1999–2004. English edition. Hardcover with illustrated dust jackets. All six volumes retain their protective plastic wrap. Measurements: 33 x 25.5 cm (each volume). Complete set of the six volumes of the catalog raisonné of Joan Miró’s paintings, an essential publication for the study, identification, and authentication of his work. Compiled by Jacques Dupin and Ariane Lelong-Mainaud, in collaboration with the Successió Miró, it documents more than two thousand paintings created between 1908 and 1981, offering a comprehensive overview of the painter’s artistic evolution. The publication is organized chronologically into six volumes: I (1908–1930), II (1931–1941), III (1942–1955), IV (1959–1968), V (1969–1975), and VI (1976–1981). The works are reproduced and accompanied by catalog entries that detail their technical characteristics, provenance, exhibitions, and bibliography. Together, these works trace Miró’s career from his early figurative and surrealist experiments to the expressive freedom of his mature period. Jacques Dupin, a French poet, critic, and art historian, was one of the leading experts on Miró, with whom he maintained a close relationship. His research, continued in collaboration with Ariane Lelong-Mainaud, proved decisive in systematizing the artist’s pictorial legacy, making this publication an indispensable reference for researchers and collectors.
