LIMITED EDITION BOOK DESCRIPTION
This work is a unique, numbered edition from the limited run of 2,998 copies of Cahier de félins by Miquel Barceló, published by Ed. Planeta in 2011. This particular example is number 269. The edition is printed on Tintoretto Gesso 200 g paper and presented in a bespoke white maple wooden case, whose lid features a pyrogravure reproduction of an original work by the artist.
The set brings together several carefully conceived elements: a facsimile reproduction of the artist’s own Cahier de félins; a companion volume exploring the discovery of the Chauvet Cave; and a large-format numbered sheet selected by Barceló, matching the edition number of the work. Together, these components form a cohesive publication that reflects both the physical intimacy of an artist’s sketchbook and the monumental origins of prehistoric art.
At the conceptual heart of the project lies the Chauvet Cave, home to some of the world’s most ancient and significant rock art. Barceló’s response to the cave resulted in a series of watercolours that bridge prehistoric gesture and contemporary expression. In Cahier de félins, this dialogue is distilled into 37 powerful drawings of felines, rendered with a single, confident stroke that unites movement from the distant past with the immediacy of the present.
The edition is signed and numbered by the artist and housed in a case measuring approximately 49 × 37 × 5.5 cm. The main art book, bound in raw cotton fabric with an exclusive drawing by Barceló on the cover, comprises 144 pages and measures approximately 43 × 33 cm. The accompanying study book contains 112 pages and matches the format, while the folded numbered sheet measures approximately 88 × 33 cm. This is a highly collectible artist’s book that occupies a singular position between archive, artwork, and publishing object.
Miquel Barceló (1957) His eagerness to continuously experience and his inexhaustible energy have made this artist to continue to surprise, after forty years of experience. Barceló’s early interest in art comes from his mother, a painter in the tradition of the Mallorcan landscape. From here, he has experimented with artistic movements such as Art Brut or Action Painting, influenced by Jackson Pollock, among others. Finally, the self-taught artist found his own path, based on neo-expressionism.

Esta obra pertenece a una edición única y numerada de 2.998 ejemplares de Cahier de félins de Miquel Barceló, publicada por Ed. Planeta en 2011. El presente ejemplar corresponde al número 269. La edición está impresa sobre papel Tintoretto Gesso de 200 g y se presenta en una caja especial de madera de arce blanco, cuya tapa incorpora una reproducción mediante pirograbado de una obra original del artista.
El conjunto reúne varios elementos concebidos como una sola obra editorial: una reproducción facsimilar del Cahier de félins propiedad del propio artista; un libro dedicado al descubrimiento de la cueva de Chauvet; y una lámina de gran formato seleccionada por Barceló, numerada de acuerdo con el número del ejemplar. En conjunto, estas piezas configuran un objeto que combina la intimidad del cuaderno de trabajo con la potencia simbólica del arte originario.
La cueva de Chauvet, considerada uno de los conjuntos de arte rupestre más antiguos y valiosos del mundo, constituye el núcleo inspirador del proyecto. El impacto visual que Barceló experimentó ante estas pinturas se traduce en una serie de acuarelas donde dialogan dos tiempos de la historia del arte. En Cahier de félins, este diálogo se concreta en 37 dibujos de felinos, ejecutados con un trazo único, firme y directo, que enlaza el gesto prehistórico con una sensibilidad plenamente contemporánea.
La edición está firmada y numerada por el artista y se conserva en una caja de aproximadamente 49 × 37 × 5,5 cm. El libro principal, encuadernado en tela de algodón crudo con un dibujo exclusivo de Barceló en la cubierta, consta de 144 páginas y mide aproximadamente 43 × 33 cm. El libro de estudios incluye 112 páginas del mismo formato, y la lámina plegada numerada alcanza unas dimensiones aproximadas de 88 × 33 cm. Se trata de un libro de artista de gran valor, concebido como una obra integral situada entre el archivo, la creación artística y la edición de autor.

Miquel Barceló
Miquel Barceló makes abstract, mixed-media paintings that capture the diversity of the natural world and reflect his extensive travels. Like Pablo Picasso and Francisco de Goya before him, the artist pushes the boundaries of representation. His hazy white canvases, for example, capture the light rebounding off the Sahara. On a canvas installed at the United Nations headquarters, a multicolored dome of stalactite forms evokes the sea and a cave. Thickly impastoed works translate the dynamism and energy of bullfighting rings into warm hues. Barceló gives these works their signature tactility as he incorporates unconventional materials such as homemade pigments, volcanic ash, seaweed, and river sediment. He has exhibited widely in cities around the world, and in 2009, he represented Spain at the Venice Biennale. His work has sold for seven figures at auction and belongs to many prestigious collections around the world, including the Centre Pompidou, the Museo Reina Sofía, the Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Barceló has also made sculptures and installations.
