Joan Miró — Souvenir de la Tour Eiffel
Joan Miró

Souvenir de la Tour Eiffel

1977

A whimsical bronze sculpture by Joan Miró, "Souvenir de la Tour Eiffel" reflects the artist's signature Surrealist vocabulary through its playful, biomorphic forms that suggest both organic life and fantastical invention. The work transforms the iconic Parisian landmark into an imaginative reimagining, where abstract shapes and fluid contours evoke Miró's characteristic blend of childlike spontaneity and poetic depth. Cast in bronze, the piece carries a tactile permanence that grounds Miró's dream-like imagery in a richly textured, enduring material.
