Description

René Magritte Catalogue Raisonné: Newly Discovered Works is a comprehensive volume that brings together 130 previously unpublished or unknown works by the renowned surrealist artist, authenticated between September 2000 and March 2010. This publication synthesizes new discoveries about Magritte's artworks and life, accompanied by accompanying text and comparative documentation. The catalogue raisonné was initially led by David Sylvester in a five-volume project, but subsequent years saw numerous works purporting to be by Magritte appear on the art market. To verify authenticity, the Fondation Magritte established a committee, which is responsible for including these newly discovered works in this volume. This book provides a wealth of complementary information, including the circumstances of a work's discovery, references to letters, quotations in their original languages, and citations from previous volumes.
