About the Institut Restellini’s Catalogue RaisonnéThe symposium follows release of the Institut Restellini’s landmark Modigliani catalogue raisonné on April 21. Distributed by Yale University Press, the six-volume catalogue raisonné authored by art historian and leading Modigliani scholar Marc Restellini is the culmination of work amassed since he first began his research in 1985. Read More Amedeo Modigliani: Catalogue raisonné of the oil paintings. Institut Restellini, 2026 For this monumental project, Restellini has made use of scientific and technological tools, including spectrometry, carbon 14, infrared, and X-ray imaging, that were not available when the Italian scholar Ambrogio Ceroni produced his Modigliani catalogue raisonné between 1958 and 1970. Through scientific, stylistic, and documentary analyses, Restellini has authenticated some 100 Modigliani works—half of which were already in prominent museum collections—that were not included in Ceroni’s volumes. Restellini has also excluded 15 works that were previously included in Ceroni’s catalogue raisonné because these works did not meet Restellini’s criteria for authentication.To celebrate the release of the catalogue raisonné, we will host a book launch at our London gallery on April 21 from 6 to 8 p.m.—to RSVP to the event, contact rsvplondon@pacegallery.com.
