Amedeo Modigliani. Catalogue Raisonné. Vol. V

Indexing, classification and publishing of the artist's works. It's a matter of fact that scientific interpretation of art history leads to a transformation, a progressive survey of the monographic study whose exemplification will be an important point of reference of the catalog. Stock, inventory of the paintings, the drawings and the sculptures of Amedeo Modigliani will benefit from this mature, scientific approach. In turn, the technical elements constitute contradictory plots related to the creative and impulsive natural of the artist.
In most cases, the extravagance of all persons that where the initial owners of Modigliani's works and have hidden their properties in an obscure, badly concealed or badly managed them, add to the clear lack of information. The reproduction of the partially superficial interpretation on international level, that have been deflected from the power and endurance of some elements of the myth Modigliani", lead to a systematic appraisal of all biological and bibliographical elements and sometimes resulted in an amendment of some historical data. The registered works bear a reference number corresponding to the fascicle number that is preserved at the Archives Légales Amedeo Modigliani and to which one can refer upon request. The fascicles are permanently and elaborately extended by referring to the researches and new discoveries. The bibliography is frequently updated; origins and localization precise the assignment of the collection, dates of purchase, the consecutive owners, names and locations of the collectors, if it is admitted to cite them.
Due to the non-final attribute of all elements constituting the fascicle of a work as this is constantly open to new, additional or fundamental addendums, we decided to publish only the basic information for each work that is required for precise identification.
