'Fundació Palma I' by Joan Miró is a mixed media work from 1988, measuring 97.2 × 70.5 cm, and carries his pencil signature in the lower right margin. A dominant mass of flat black occupies most of the composition, from which biomorphic forms emerge — a rounded creature-like shape at upper left with a small red triangular eye, wedge-shaped green and red forms along the right edge, and a pale turquoise arc at lower left. Within the black field, two grid-like windows reveal grey passages filled with delicate linear marks, a circled red accent, and scattered dots. A block of yellow sits at upper right. The work dates to the final years of Miró's career, when his Fundació Joan Miró — established in Barcelona in 1975 — was already a functioning institution, and the 'Fundació Palma' title connects directly to the Pilar i Joan Miró a Mallorca foundation, inaugurated in Palma in 1981. The print distils the symbolic vocabulary — eye-like forms, star-burst marks, primary colour accents — that Miró developed across decades of work fusing abstract structure with Surrealist figuration.
