Ubu roi (King Ubu): plate IX (three states) (M. 484-486, see C. bks 108)

This series of three proof states from the 'King Ubu' series shows Miró's working process through black, color, and final combination proofs. The work demonstrates the artist's iterative approach to developing his characteristic abstract vocabulary.

Medium
The black proof, the color proof and the final combination, two signed (one with initial 'M') and all numbered 52/75 in pencil (from the edition with large margins), published by Tériade, Paris, all unframed.
