Modigliani 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. It includes Volume 1 as a full explanation of the methodology, Volume 2 as a full chronology of Modigliani's life and body of work, Volumes 3-5 of Modigliani's paintings, each of them being represented by a full-page reproduction and accompanied by full provenance, exhibition history and bibliography, and Volume 6 comprising all the indexes concerning the data used in the catalogue as well as a technical and iconographic index. This six-volume boxed set reveals the depths of Restellini's research with beautiful illustrations throughout.
