Robert Fontaine Gallery is drawing attention to Joan Miró’s 'The Night, the Bear III (Series for King Ubu)' from 1966, listing the work as available for inquiry. The color lithograph is signed and numbered, printed on Arches wove paper, and carries a price of $9,500. The work measures 21.3 by 29.5 inches, according to the gallery’s newsletter and work page.
The listing appeared in the gallery’s summer email roundup alongside other modern and contemporary names, including Donald Sultan, Alexander Calder, Joseph Cornell, Adolph Gottlieb, Roy Lichtenstein, Manolo Valdés, Grace Hartigan, Robert Natkin, Richard Deacon, Lynn Chadwick, Josef Albers, Ed Ruscha, Anni Albers, Ellsworth Kelly, Carlos Cancio, Robert Rauschenberg and Mark Flood. Within that selection, Miró’s print is positioned among a broad group of works that spans postwar abstraction, printmaking and contemporary practice.
Miró’s 1966 lithograph belongs to the 'Series for King Ubu', a title that identifies the print within a larger sequence rather than as a standalone image. Robert Fontaine Gallery describes the work in straightforward terms, emphasizing the medium, edition and signature details rather than offering curatorial commentary. The edition is listed as 75, placing it among a relatively limited run of prints from the artist’s mature period.
The gallery’s own site presents the print in the context of a broader inventory of works by modern masters and living artists. That mix is consistent with the newsletter’s emphasis on works by artists associated with postwar and contemporary art, and it helps situate Miró’s lithograph within a commercial program that moves between historical and current names. No exhibition or public event is attached to the Miró listing in the source material; it is presented as an available work.
Robert Fontaine Gallery is based in London, though the source material also shows exhibition and sales activity connected to the gallery’s Palm Beach address in earlier newsletter material. In the current listing, however, the relevant information is the artwork itself and its availability by inquiry. The entry does not indicate a deadline, viewing appointment or sale date.
The work page gives the practical details collectors would need first: 'The Night, the Bear III (Series for King Ubu)' is a color lithograph on Arches wove paper, signed and numbered, dated 1966, and priced at $9,500. The gallery invites inquiries about the print through its standard contact pathway.
