The Fundació Joan Miró, the Fundación Abertis and the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation present Miró Universe in Washington, D.C., in the United States

Between 3 May and 27 June 2023, the Residence of the Spanish Ambassador in Washington, D.C., in the United States will house four paintings and a sculpture by Joan Miró, as well as a selection of photographs by Joaquim Gomis, a friend of the artist and the first president of the Fundació Joan Miró.  The selection of paintings and sculptures from Miró’s later years is notable for its signic nature. This initiative is a response to the Fundació Joan Miró’s commitment to disseminate the artist’s work internationally.

Miró Universe arrives in the United States of America after being presented between 2019 and 2023 at Spain’s diplomatic representations in Rome, Berlin, Dublin, Brussels, Paris and New Delhi, as well as at the Centro Cultural de España in Mexico and the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico, thanks to collaboration between the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation, Abertis and its foundation, and the Fundació Joan Miró. Abertis, through its foundation and subsidiaries in the United States of America, has helped to take this project to the country in order to promote Spanish culture and to raise awareness of this selection of works in one of the regions where it has a presence.
