Amedeo Modigliani Catalogue Raisonné of the oil paintings
Institut Restellini and Pace Gallery are pleased to announce a multi-part collaboration marking the release of the groundbreaking Amedeo Modigliani Catalogue Raisonné in April 2026, to be distributed by Yale University Press. This collaboration will comprise a series of exceptional events, including a symposium and a landmark exhibition at Pace Gallery New York in 2026─2027.
The collaboration between Institut Restellini and Pace officially began at Art Basel Paris in October 2026, when Pace presented Modigliani’s 1918 painting Jeune fille aux macarons (Young Woman with Hair in Side Buns) to the public, accompanied by the display of the very first copy of the new catalogue raisonné.
Pre-order
Discover the catalogue raisonné of Amedeo Modigliani’s painted works, a landmark publication showcasing the entire body of paintings by the artist, enriched with exceptional illustrations and rigorous critical commentary.
An essential tribute to one of the greatest masters of Modern Art — a must-have for collectors, art historians, and admirers of Modigliani.
The six-volume Modigliani catalogue raisonné — authored by art historian and leading Modigliani scholar Marc Restellini and distributed by Yale University Press — is the culmination of work amassed by the author since he first began his research in 1985. 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.
Volume one of Restellini’s catalogue raisonné gives an extensive explanation of the methodology, and volume two provides a full chronology of Modigliani’s life and body of work. Volumes three through five contain Modigliani’s paintings, each represented by a full-page reproduction accompanied by complete provenance, exhibition history, and bibliography. Volume six comprises all the indexes concerning the data used in the catalogue, as well as a technical and iconographic index.
