JOAN MIRO Traversing, 1979

This limited edition five-color offset lithograph, created for the 1979 exhibition of Joan Miró’s work at Pace Columbus in Columbus, Ohio, stands apart from modern reproductions. Produced during the pre-digital poster era, it was printed using traditional offset techniques that yield richer inks, sharper contrasts, and a tactile surface quality no contemporary on-demand print can replicate. Published by Pace Posters, one of the most respected fine-art poster publishers of the 1970s and 1980s, this edition faithfully captures the energy and spontaneity of Miró’s original painting.

Traversing exemplifies Miró’s unmistakable visual language—bold, gestural lines; floating abstract forms; and a vibrant palette that animates the entire composition. The plate-signed imprint reflects Miró’s authorization of the image, ensuring both accuracy and integrity in the reproduction.

A striking example of Miró’s late-period aesthetic, this lithograph brings color, movement, and imagination into any interior. Whether displayed in a living room, study, or contemporary art collection, Traversing remains an exceptional and highly presentable piece—an authentic artifact of Miró’s enduring influence and of a printing era long gone.
