Title: Fire Dance, 1963

Technique: Original Hand Signed and Numbered Color Lithograph on BFK Rives paper

Paper Size: 47.2 x 65.5 cm / 18.5 x 25.7 in

Additional Information: The Lithograph is Hand Signed by the artist "Miro" in the lower right corner of the image.
It is also Hand Numbered in pencil at the lower left corner of the image "57/90".
It was printed and published in 1963 by Galerie Maeght in a limited edition of 90 hand signed and numbered impressions.
The paper bears the BFK Rives watermark.

This print was included in the publication "Derriere le Miroir" realised for the Catalogue of the exhibition Miro-Artigas Monumental ceramics at the Galerie Maeght in 1963. It was printed in a large edition (approx 1500) on smaller paper and was not signed in pencil by Miro. Our impression is from the deluxe edition of 90 that was hand signed and numbered in pencil.
The title of the work probably refers to the action of the fire on the clay in Artigas' Japanese wood-fired kiln where they worked.
