MIRÓ (Joan). Joan Miró. Without the sun, despite the other stars, it would be night. Paris: Adrien Maeght, [1965]. — In-4, 332 x 255. Loose-leaf, illustrated hardcover, in an illustrated linen slipcase and the publisher’s slipcase. A precious and rare album of prints by Joan MIRÓ. It consists of a cover featuring a color etching on the front cover, and 10 original, unsigned etchings and aquatints, including one in black on the title page and 9 in color as insets, inserted into double-page spreads. The plates are introduced by Heraclitus’s maxim, which gives the album its title: “Without the sun, despite the other stars, it would be night.” Limited edition of 75 copies, signed by Joan Miró on the flyleaf. The title page, endpapers, colophon, and double-page spreads are on Richard-de-Bas paper from Auvergne; the nine color etchings are on Rives vellum. Very well-preserved copy.
