This edition aims to promote both the winning artist and Joan Miró’s printmaking studios, set up by the artist in Son Boter, an 18th century house, to provide further artistic space. Today, the printmaking studies are one of the Foundation’s distinctive hallmarks.

It shall be printed in Fundació Miró Mallorca’s printmaking studios and the number of copies to be printed shall be agreed upon and divided into two equal parts, one set for the Foundation and one for the artist.
