A multigenerational dialogue between Miró and over 30 American Artists who entered his orbit, Miró and the United States includes Louise Bourgeois, Helen Frankenthaler, Lee Krasner, Arshile Gorky, Alice Trumbull Mason, and Robert Motherwell.
From the the press release:
“The Phillips Collection is pleased to present Miró and the United States, a major traveling exhibition organized in collaboration with the Fundació Joan Miró in Barcelona. This groundbreaking exhibition recounts a little-known yet decisive period of transatlantic exchange between Joan Miró and American artists, revealing how the United States informed his artistic development and influenced post-war art on both sides of the Atlantic. For Miró, the United States represented more than just geography—it offered expansive horizons, new audiences, and the possibility of creative freedom. Assembling significant loans and notable first-time showings, the exhibition stages rare juxtapositions that foreground the generative impact of these cross-cultural encounters, revealing how Miró and his American contemporaries mutually influenced one another and advanced new artistic directions.”
Miró and the United States will be on view until July 5, 2026.
