La Llotja de Palma extends its opening hours this Saturday for Nit de l’Art 2025
The exhibition brings together a selection of ten bronze works with dark patina created between 1940 and 1970, many of them produced in the Susse (Arcueil, France) and Bonvicini (Verona, Italy) foundries, with which Miró worked closely.
The sculptures on display —including the spectacular Oiseau lunaire, Oiseau solaire, Maternité, and Conque— reflect the artist’s interest in transforming natural objects and simple forms into figures of great symbolic strength, with references to the human body as well as to the vegetal, animal, and astral worlds.
The selection highlights Miró’s technical and conceptual process, as he approached sculpture with a profound understanding of the medium and a desire to create autonomous, hybrid, and meaningful forms. In this context, La Llotja de Palma becomes a space of dialogue between historic architecture and sculpture, emphasizing the physical, symbolic, and poetic dimension of Miró’s three-dimensional work.
“Paysage Miró. The Initial Force” is part of the large exhibition project “Paysage Miró”, which brings together four simultaneous exhibitions in four emblematic artistic spaces in the city: Es Baluard Museu, Fundació Miró Mallorca, Casal Solleric, and La Llotja de Palma. This project represents a historic and unprecedented alliance between the Government of the Balearic Islands, Palma City Council, Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Es Baluard Museu, and Casal Solleric, with the collaboration of Successió Miró and Galeria Pelaires.
