Once again, at the end of this year, at the Fundació Joan Miró, we celebrate the holidays with an art project created specifically for the occasion. This time we will be presenting a piece by Patricia Dauder arising from her research in astronomical phenomena, and, in this specific case, about the Christmas Star. Patricia Dauder’s interest in astronomy and in the importance of the starlit sky in many cultures ties into part of Miró’s iconography, in which stars and constellations are key images.
