Personnages Oiseaux

Personnages Oiseaux (English: Bird People) is one of Joan Miró's largest works in the United States and his only glass mosaic mural.

The mural is one of Miró's largest two-dimensional projects, undertaken when he was 79 and completed when he was 85 years of age.

Intending to come to the dedication of the mural in 1978,[5] he fell at his studio in Palma (Majorca, Spain), and was unable to travel to the event.

The entire south wall of the Ulrich Museum is the foundation for the 28 ft by 52 ft (8.53 m x 15.85 m) mural, composed of one million pieces of marble and Venetian glass mounted on specially treated wood, attached to the concrete wall on an aluminum grid.

The entire mural was originally assembled by an artisan at Ateliers Loire using Miró's maquette as a guide.
