Catalogue Raisonné

SERGIO DE CASTRO (1922-2012) : towards the Catalogue Raisonné.

Argentinian and French, Castro was a musician, poet, stained glass designer, and painter. His major work is finally presented to the public, in the form of an online Catalogue raisonné.

A Catalogue Raisonné first consists of a precise physical description of each work (its title, technique and dimensions). Then comes the information relating to the «life» of the work (its provenance, public sales, exhibitions and publications). All this information is based on photographs of the works, but also on all the archival elements that make it possible to document the work and its journey as accurately as possible.

A Catalogue Raisonné is an essential tool for collectors, dealers, auction houses, art historians, curators and students. This documented inventory makes it possible to understand the entire work of the artist, which is essential to judge the importance and historical scope of his Work.

This Catalogue raisonné was created thanks to the support of the ADAGP, Paris.
