The art of Joan Miró in Turin for a major exhibition of 130 works

Scheduled from Oct. 4, 2017 to Jan. 14, 2018, is the major exhibition that Turin is dedicating to Joan Miró (Barcelona, 1893 - Palma de Mallorca, 1983), the great Spanish artist who after beginnings marked by his adherence to Cubism became one of the most celebrated Surrealist painters. The exhibition, which is entitled Miró! Dream and Color and held at Palazzo Chiablese, features no less than 130 works, almost all large-format oils, which come on loan from the Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró in Palma de Mallorca, the city where the artist spent much of his life and where he married Pilar Juncosa.

The public can see masterpieces such as Femme au clair de la lune (1966), 1973’sOiseaux and Femme dans la rue (1973), all exhibited in Turin, the presentation says, “to narrate the experimentation sought by Miró within the main artistic currents of the 20th century such as Dadaism, Surrealism and Expressionism.” The exhibition is curated by Pilar Baos Rodríguez, director of exhibitions at the Fundación Pilar i Joan Miró in Palma de Mallorca.
