Product description
'Le bijou blanc', large lithograph by Spanish artist Gardy Artigas from 1984. Numbered in pencil to 80 copies and signed. Dimensions: 81 x 57.5 cm. In impeccable condition.
Juan Gardy-Artigas is the son of the famous ceramist Josep Llorens Gardy, who executed Joan Miró's ceramics. Juan also quickly helped with the realization of Miró's ceramics. For example, together with his father, he realized the monumental ceramic wall for the Unesco building in Paris for Miró.
In 1960, in Paris, in addition to his work as a ceramist for others, he began to make his own sculptures. When his father's health deteriorated, he accepted Miró's request to return to Barcelona and continue to execute Miró's ceramics there, a collaboration that would last until Miró's death. In 1981-1982, together with Miró, he realized the 22 m high fountain "Woman and Bird" in Barcelona (see photo). Equally impressive is the gigantic sculpture he made at the French exit of Mont Blanc (see photo).
His large ceramic murals and sculptures are spread all over the world, including at Harvard University (Boston, USA), UNESCO (Paris), Fondation Maeght (St. Paul), the 1970 World Exhibition in Osaka, Barcelona airport, the Kunsthaus in Zurich, IBM headquarters (Barcelona), and a 60-meter ceramic mural for the Palais des Expositions et des Congres de Madrid.
Joan Gardy Artigas has exhibited in many European, Japanese and American galleries and museums, including the Meadows Museum of Spanish Art at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, the Hispanic Institute in New York and Galerie Lelong in Paris.
In 1996, a large retrospective exhibition of his work was held in Barcelona. In 1998, a large exhibition was held at the Fundació Miró in Palma de Mallorca documenting Miró's collaboration with father and son Artigas (father was Picasso's and Miró's favorite ceramist).
The offer also includes a catalog from Galerie Maeght in Zurich about the sculptures of Gardy-Artigas (see photos).
