The exhibition is the result of exhaustive research and study revolving around a work by Joan Miró entitled Painting (c. 1925), which is part of the Fundació Joan Miró Collection. The project’s analysis and conclusions were carried out by the Department of Preventive Conservation and Restoration, in collaboration with the CRBMC and the Universidad Pablo de Olavide in Seville.
Conducted mainly using non-invasive techniques, the study provides us with details about the types of pigments and binders used in the creation of the work. It also provides a surprising new insight into the history of the painting before Miró’s intervention, revealing previously unknown aspects of its conservation and evolution.
