A definitive six-volume catalogue raisonné documenting the entire body of paintings made by Amedeo Modigliani
The result of twenty-seven years of work accomplished in collaboration with an international team of researchers and scientists, Marc Restellini showcases the entire body of paintings made by Amedeo Modigliani (1884–1920).
Available worldwide in a numbered limited edition of 1,250 copies, the catalogue raisonné, offers an unprecedented level of detail and precision in the provenance of each painting and is the largest compilation of scientific data ever created on Modigliani’s oeuvre. Volume 1 gives a full explanation of the methodology, and Volume 2 provides a full chronology of Modigliani’s life and body of work. Volumes 3–5 contain Modigliani’s paintings, each represented by a full-page reproduction accompanied by complete provenance, exhibition history, and bibliography. Volume 6 comprises all the indexes concerning the data used in the catalogue, as well as a technical and iconographic index. This set reveals the depths of Restellini’s research with beautiful illustrations throughout.

3. Unverifiable pieces of information, drawn from theories commonly accepted by art historians and/or art dealers, have nevertheless been included due to their consistency with the rest of the provenance and appear in italics (Léopold Zborowski, Paris). Sources of Primary Importance Above all, sources of primary importance comprise the documentation closest to the artist. Unfortunately, Amedeo Modigliani did not leave behind any diary, memoirs, or inventories of his artwork. The only known texts in the artist’s hand are letters found in the various archives of his entourage, as well as a few poems written on the
of several of them [rp 11, 12, 13].29 November 28: Maud Abrantès departs for the United States.
