Published to accompany a centennial exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, from October 1993 through early January 1994, this intensively researched volume contains more than 250 full-color reproductions that explore the entire range of the artist's career.
This book is a great reference book for Miro's work. The reproductions are clear, with great color, and there are selections from his entire career, including photos of some of his sculptures. I give it a four because some of the plates are rather small and the text is school textbook quality, good information without much literary pizzaz.
A fun collection to see

In all the seriousness, I think that Miro had a wonderful sense of humor. I find much of his work to be very exciting precisely because it helps to notice, what usually people hide behind their clothes, make up, and manners. Miro is not judgemental, but very detail oriented. The collection of MOMA is quite rich and contains enough work to convince one to exchange the plain and strange surrealism of Magrite and Dali for humorous and real surrealism of Miro.
