A lithograph by Joan Miró titled "Osaka 1970" (1970) is being offered for sale by Bernardini Art Gallery & Auction House, priced between $7,800 and $8,400. The work is a signed-in-plate print from an unknown edition, measuring 29.9 × 22.4 inches, and comes framed with a certificate of authenticity. The listing appears on Artsy, with shipping available from Querétaro, Mexico.
This listing matters because it represents a relatively accessible entry point into the market for Joan Miró, a blue-chip Spanish Surrealist whose works have sold for eight figures at auction, including a high auction record of £23.6 million at Sotheby's in 2012. Miró's prints are widely collected by major institutions such as MoMA, the Centre Pompidou, and the Tate, making this an opportunity for collectors to acquire a work by a historically significant artist at a fraction of the cost of his paintings.
