Other Notes: Joan Miro, a Spanish artist, is widely regarded as one of the pioneers of modern art. He embarked on a quest for non-objectivity that led him to explore various art styles, such as Fauvism, Surrealism, and Cubism and refused to confine himself to any particular style or medium. Miro's artistic pursuits were geared towards breaking away from traditional norms in his paintings, ceramic works, bronze sculptures, and prints. A hallmark of Joan Miro's paintings is the juxtaposition of imaginary objects, precisely rendered, with everyday objects. His prints were similarly experimental, challenging the conventions of art. While many of Miro's works shared a common theme, he did not limit himself in his representation of images. Rather than creating art that completely abstracted reality, Miro's works inspired non-representational art. Many artists have drawn inspiration from Joan Miro's paintings.

The absence of a condition report does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of others. Buyers are responsible for determining to their own satisfaction the true nature and condition of any lot prior to bidding. Though buyers are not legally required to inspect lots prior to purchase, failure to do so may constitute a waiver of complaint that an item was not delivered in a condition equal to the existent condition at the auction.
