The Galleria Civica Mo.C.A. – Montecatini Contemporary Art has housed Dona Voltada d’un Vol d’Ocells in its permanent collection since its opening in 2012. This piece is one of the five largest works in the world created by the painter Joan Miró.
From December 4, 2024, to June 29, 2025, the gallery pays tribute to the master with the exhibition Joan Miró in Montecatini Terme.
The exhibition tells the fascinating story behind the creation of this artwork, specifically conceived for the city of Montecatini in 1980 as part of Maggio Miró, the largest cultural event ever organized in Montecatini, envisioned by Carlos Franqui.
The exhibition delves into these events, which involved numerous international artists who created works inspired by the figure and legacy of the great surrealist. It also reveals why Miró, the eagerly anticipated guest of honor, was never able to visit the city.
The show features works by painters from around the world, alongside a selection of Miró’s lithographs, autographed documents by the Master, photographs, posters, and other unpublished material made available by private collectors and the heirs of those who participated in the event.
The exhibition also offers an opportunity to celebrate the 45th anniversary of the presence of Miró’s Woman (Dona Voltada d’un Vol d’Ocells) in Montecatini.
