The result of 27 years of work accomplished in collaboration with an international team of researchers and scientists. Marc Restellini showcases the first up-to-date definitive six-volume catalogue raisonné that documents the entire body of paintings made by Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920). 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.

Drawing is at the heart of human creativity. It is the most democratic form of art-making, requiring nothing more than the stub of a pencil, piece of chalk or ink brush, and a surface. Our prehistoric ancestors drew with natural pigments on the walls of caves, and every subsequent culture has practised drawing—whether on papyrus, parchment, or paper.   Virtually all artists have used drawing as part of the creative process. However, by stepping back and surveying the long history of drawing, Susan Owens reveals an alternative history of art. While art forms such as painting and sculpture have been shaped heavily by money and influence, drawing has always offered exceptional creative latitude. Drawing is where we can encounter the artist at his or her most unguarded.  The Story of Drawing offers a glimpse over artists’ shoulders as they work, think, plan, innovate, and either scrutinise the world or retreat into their imaginations.
