Joan Miró

Joan Miró (1893 - 1983) was one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century. The Catalan master broke artistic boundaries by interweaving painting with poetry, among other things. His surrealistic representations are full of mysterious signs and symbols. This boundless imagination also characterizes Miró’s sculptures. 

It was on the beach near his studio that Miró's love for sculpture received a great boost. The natural objects the artist found there became an important source of inspiration for his sculptures. It is therefore particularly fitting that his three-dimensional work is now exhibited in the vicinity of the sea.

Thanks to close collaboration with renowned museum partners and public and private collections, 55 large and small sculptures by Miró are displayed. Joan Miró – Sculptures highlights his experiments with ceramics, studies in plaster, assemblages, and monumental public works. They depict his ongoing quest for new ideas, materials, and techniques.

The retrospective exhibition is organized in collaboration with the Fundació Joan Miró in Barcelona. An accompanying catalog discusses, among other things, Miró's working methods and the symbolism of his sculptures.
