This original lithographic cover was published by Maeght Éditeur in Paris in 1979 for issue No. 240 of Derrière Le Miroir, entirely devoted to Edward Kienholz. The composition, printed on thick wove paper, features a juxtaposition of speaker components and reflective planes in tones of black, yellow, and metallic gray. This visual motif mirrors Kienholz's interest in media, communication systems, and objecthood—central concerns of his assemblage practice. His engagement with themes of surveillance, technology, and institutional control is abstracted here into a striking modernist graphic. Edward Kienholz (1927–1994) was a leading figure in American installation art and assemblage. He first gained critical attention in the 1960s for provocative works addressing race, poverty, war, and American consumer culture. His work is housed in major institutions including MoMA, LACMA, and the Stedelijk Museum. Kienholz collaborated with his wife, Nancy Reddin Kienholz, from the 1970s onward, developing a rich visual language of social critique through immersive environments.

This vibrant color lithograph by Joan Miró originates from Derriere le Miroir features bold black gestural forms interspersed with bright dashes of red, green, yellow, and blue, set against a speckled, energetic background. The composition exemplifies Miró’s signature visual language — a fusion of abstraction, automatism, and surrealist symbolism. His dynamic forms often suggest figures, creatures, or cosmic elements, suspended in poetic ambiguity. The work likely originates from one of Miró’s many mid-century lithographic cycles, produced in collaboration with noted Parisian ateliers. Joan Miró (1893–1983) was a Catalan painter, printmaker, and sculptor celebrated for his contribution to Surrealism and modern art. His work spanned several decades and media, characterized by playful forms, vivid colors, and a highly personal symbolic language. In the 1950s–70s, Miró turned extensively to lithography and etching, creating numerous series that expanded the reach of his visual universe beyond canvas and sculpture.

This edition of Derrière Le Miroir, published by Maeght Éditeur in Paris in 1971, is dedicated to the vibrant and surrealistic work of Richard Lindner. The publication includes several color lithographs and high-quality reproductions, highlighting Lindner’s iconic fusion of machine-like precision, pop eroticism, and theatrical figuration. The cover features two stylized figures locked in a symbolic and ambiguous embrace, referencing Lindner’s recurring interest in costumes, fetishism, and the dynamics of gender and power in urban settings. The booklet captures Lindner’s bold use of color, stylized outlines, and symbolic narratives, making it one of the most visually striking issues in the Derrière Le Miroir series. Richard Lindner (1901–1978) was a German-born painter who became a U.S. citizen after fleeing Nazi Germany and settling in New York. His unique style merged elements of German expressionism, American pop art, and surrealism. Known for his highly original portrayals of modern identity and sexuality, Lindner explored themes of alienation, fetish, and performance through mechanical forms and vivid palettes. His work played a vital role in post-war transatlantic modernism and remains celebrated for its psychological depth and provocative imagery.
