The first purpose is to establish an exhaustive and authenticated body of work<\/strong><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=\u00a0\u00bb10px\u00a0\u00bb][vc_column_text css=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb]The Catalogue Raisonn\u00e9 lists all known works by an artist, usually in a chronological and well-documented manner (including dimensions, materials, exhibitions, provenance, etc.).\u2028This allows for a clear definition of the scope of the artist\u2019s work: its richness, uniqueness, and stylistic periods.\u2028It also helps to authenticate what truly belongs to the artist (and exclude forgeries).\u2028With the Catalogue Raisonn\u00e9, the frame of reference becomes reliable for experts, art historians, curators, dealers, etc.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=\u00a0\u00bb20px\u00a0\u00bb][vc_column_text css=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb]<\/p>\n

The goal of a Catalogue Raisonn\u00e9 is to enhance the artist\u2019s market<\/strong><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=\u00a0\u00bb10px\u00a0\u00bb][vc_column_text css=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb]<\/p>\n

Trust in an artwork\u2019s authenticity is key to increasing its value.<\/p>\n

An artwork included in a Catalogue Raisonn\u00e9 is more valuable on the art market.<\/p>\n

Buyers and collectors are more confident when a work is catalogued.\u2028It also facilitates the work of auction houses, galleries, and insurance experts.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=\u00a0\u00bb20px\u00a0\u00bb][vc_column_text css=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb]<\/p>\n
