Renowned art magazine Derrière le Miroir was established by French dealer Aimé Maeght in 1946 and published without interruption until 1982. Issues often included original prints by artists that Maeght exhibited at his gallery. Of the two hundred issues produced, ninety-eight were also published as deluxe editions on heavier paper, most of them signed by the artist.
