After more than 40 years hidden in his studio, MIRALDA brings out for the first time a group photographs of the famous series Soldats Soldés. This composition, all vintage copies, were taken by Miralda in Paris revealed in black and white between the years 1965 and 1970.

The series commonly know as Soldiers, is probably, the one who helped the most to get know to Miralda in the international scene, the toy soldier, accumulated over collages or inserted in found elements such as furniture, sculptures or public monuments, constitutes the first approximation to the ideas of seriality and files. This series is being widely exhibited on museums and institutions and is part of important collections such as ARTIUM, Fonds National d’Art Contemporain, Ministère de la Culture et de la Francophonie, París – Armario, Colección Sylvio Perlstein, Amberes Armoire de Toilette, Colección Musée Cantini, Marsella, Fundación La Caixa, Barcelona, IVAM, Valencia, Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid y MACBA Barcelona.

Together with Galeria Senda, Miralda has decided to celebrate the recent award Velázquez de Artes Plásticas 2018 through this individual presentation in Arco hat forms an anti-war plea and documents critical actions with the political situations of that time.
