Starting in 1946, the editor Maeght in Paris has published some of the most beautiful illustrated artist's books in small limited editions, called "Grandes éditiones originales illustrées". From time to time one of them can be seen during art auctions of renowned auction houses. The complete box with 3 etchings was sold last in 2000 at Christie's in New York for $5,000. The signed etching is missing here, otherwise complete (28 pages, all on Arches, with 4 little vignettes within the French text by Miro). | | Sizes: | 27,5 x 28 cm (box) | | Paper: | Arches (with watermark) | | Signed: | Signed in pencil by the author and numbered (161/175) on the justification | | Published by: | Maeght Editor, Paris | Documentation/
