Miró was one of the most influential artists of the 20th century and his artistic vision had great international significance. This exhibition specifically examines the mutual influence between Joan Miró and the American artistic scene. Through key works and personal correspondence, the exhibition reveals how cultural exchange enriched the artist's vision and left its mark on his work.

The exhibition focuses on Miró's visits to the United States and the impact they had on his artistic evolution. From his first retrospectives in New York to his contact with artists such as Jackson Pollock, Louise Bourgeois and Mark Rothko, the exhibition reconstructs the dialogue that developed between his pictorial language and the North American scene.

Additionally, the role of female artists in this discourse is explored, highlighting Miró's influence on figures including Helen Frankenthaler and Lee Krasner. With more than 160 pieces including paintings, sculptures, engravings and archive material, the exhibition offers fresh insight into Miró's legacy, shifting the usual focus from France to the United States.
