148490 Miro, Joan Le Lezard aux Plumes d'or 1971 M.800 14 1/4'' x 19 3/4'' Lithograph in color on Rives vellum with watermark. Signed in pencil lower right. From the numbered edition of 50 examples on Rives vellum with large margins, numbered in Arabic. Aside from 10 examples on Rives vellum numbered in Roman, 10 artist proof examples on Rives annotated `E.A.' and numbered in Arabic and some hors commerce proofs on Rives vellum annotated `H.C.' A deluxe edition on Japon with wide margins consisting of 40 examples numbered in Arabic, 10 examples annotated `E.A.' and numbered in Arabic, 20 examples numbered in Roman and some hors commerce examples annotated `H.C.' also exist. From the collection of Louis Broder, the publisher. The art publisher, Louis Broder was active in the 20th century as a collaborator and publisher of many important graphic works. He commissioned artists such as Picasso, Braque, Jean Arp, Jacques Villon, Andre Masson and many others to create interpretations of literary works, poems, or conceptual ideas through a variety of media. His collaborations with Miro through the world famous Mourlot lithographic atelier in Paris created four historically significant and highly desirable suites of color lithographs in 1970 and 1971. Only a few examples of these works were offered initially through a gallery in Paris in the early 1970's and then only sporadically over the ensuing years. The remaining unsold examples were held by the estate, after the death of Louis Broder, for 35 years until Park West Gallery acquired the entire remaining collection. This hand-signed lithograph from a small edition has never been previously framed, and rarely exposed to light.
