An extraordinary unpublished autograph letter, in French, from Miró to Madeleine de Harting, director of the Librairie Champion and a close friend of the artist and his wife. Written in blue ink in Miró's graceful, almost calligraphic script, on Miró fine wove embossed personalized stationery. With the artist's large artistic signature.
Two pages, about 100 words. Miró explains that he's hard at work on his murals for UNESCO ("The Wall of the Sun and the Wall of the Moon", which still adorn the UNESCO Building in Paris. This was Miró's first and biggest ceramic project, and is widely regarded as one of his unquestioned masterpieces.) Miró promises to go to Paris to see Harting when he gets a chance, although he has no idea of when that will be. He mentions how eager he is to work on the project that he and Harting have planned.
Since the letter ends near the top of the second page, Miró has room for an enormous signature, which measures almost 20 centimeters in height!
With the original envelope (also Miró's personalized stationery), with address and return address in Miró's hand.
Like many of Miró's letters, a work of art. An outstanding work, in this case, both in form and content.
