Peter Max Liberty Bronze Statue in Rainbow Hues Stands Out in the June Affordable Art And Photography Sale by URDE Fine Art Auction

A rare 1975 lithograph by Joan Miró leads the June Affordable Art And Photography Sale by URDE Fine Art Auction. The hand-signed, colored lithograph on Arches paper, La Folle au Piment Rageur, comes from an edition of 30. It was published in 1975 by Maeght Editeur, Paris. Joan Miró (1893 – 1983) attended business school in Barcelona at 14. After suffering a nervous breakdown, he abandoned the business world. He resumed his art studies, attending Francesc Galí’s Escola d’Art in Barcelona from 1912 to 1915. By 1920, Miró was rubbing shoulders with the likes of Pablo Picasso, the poets Max Jacob, Pierre Reverdy, and Tristan Tzara, and he participated in Dada activities. Another artist featured in this upcoming sale is Jean-Michel Basquiat. His Big Pagoda 1997 limited-edition color lithograph, which is stamped by the artist’s estate, is available for sale. 

A Peter Max Liberty bright blue bronze statue made in 1990 stands out as well. The artist hand-painted the bronze sculpture in vibrant colors to give Lady Liberty an acid-washed look. It has the artist’s signature, the copyright date, and the edition number on the base. Peter Max (American, born 1937) is known for his unique brand of rainbow-hued prints and paintings, which he has created since the early 1960s. He currently lives and works in New York, NY.
