Our Mission

---

We are a non-profit 501(c)3 organisation devoted to promoting research and scholarship on the artist Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920). 

We have two main focusses:

1. We are filling a very sophisticated, state-of-the-art software system with scientific data; object info; biographical information; exhibition and auction catalogue references on Modigliani.
2. We are launching a Catalogue Raisonné of the artist, giving priority to the valid yet hitherto unacknowledged paintings by his hand.

• Our Modigliani Drawings Research Service is launched! Please check our new link for all details and instructions.

• We are holding our next Committee Meeting of Experts in November 2023. Our experts are brilliant, knowledgeable individuals with decades of experience with Modigliani paintings, drawings and sculptures. Contact us now to begin the process.

• Important dates: by end of September 2023, Submission Forms and Fees should have been sent to us. Try to arrange by this date to send your painting to our Research Scientist in New York (contact name and info to be provided after we receive your Submission Form and Fee) to have your painting tested using pigment analysis, x-ray, infrared, and the very latest techniques and research available.

• We know of certain techniques that are specific to Modigliani.  We also use Canvas Weave Analysis to learn if your painting comes from the same canvas roll as known Modigliani paintings. It is important that you start the process as early as possible to avoid scheduling conflicts with our Research Scientist and the Art Warehouse that co-ordinates our meetings.

• The exhibition Modigliani and His Contemporaries was recently on view at the Nakanoshima Museum of Art in Osaka, Japan. Director of The Modigliani Project, Dr Kenneth Wayne, wrote an essay for the exhibition catalogue and and gave a lecture in June 2022.
