1 plate, Le Lézard aux Plumes D'Or (Mourlot 448)

This 1967 lithograph by Joan Miró represents the artist's initial conceptualization for illustrating "Le Lézard aux Plumes D'Or," though manufacturing defects in the Japan nacré paper led to the rejection of this entire print run. Miró subsequently created a replacement series of images for the work, which Louis Broder eventually published in 1971 under the same title. The present proof, printed by the renowned Parisian workshop Mourlot and limited to an edition of 20 on Japan paper, stands as a significant precursor to the final published version and offers insight into Miró's creative process during this period.
