Comment(s): Although not as well known as his paintings and prints, Miro created a considerable body of sculpture. He exhibited these works regularly in the 1960s and 1970s. While it might sometimes be difficult to see clearly the influence of three dimensional objects in his two dimensional works, he acknowledged the relationship, and titled several paintings and prints with sculpture related titles.
